2.6 The security system of your balance

Your balance has a comprehensive security system, which can be used to deﬁne individual access rights at administrator and user

level. It is possible to deﬁne which settings can be changed for each individual user proﬁle. Access to protected menu areas requires the

entry of an identiﬁcation (ID) and a password. When the balance is delivered ex works, only the “Administrator” settings (in the system

settings) are protected. Additional information on setting up the security system can be found in sections 3.8 and 4.4.

If you try to call up a menu area that is protected with an ID and password, an alphanu-

meric keyboard ﬁrst appears in the display for entering the ID. Type in your ID (to switch

between lowercase and uppercase letters, use the “a...z” and “A...Z” buttons; to enter

numbers, press the “0...9” button). Incorrect entries can be deleted character by character

using the backspace key.

Note: The dialog box can be closed at any time by pressing “C”.

As soon as the ID has been entered fully, press “OK”. A second dialog box appears for

entering the password. Type in your password (for security reasons this is displayed using

asterisks rather than in plain text) and conﬁrm with “OK”. If the ID and the password are cor-

rect, the selected menu area will be called up or the desired action will be executed. If not,

an error message will appear, along with instructions to reenter your ID and password.

CAUTION: Note your IDs and passwords carefully. If you forget an ID or a password,

it is not possible to regain access to a protected menu area. We recommend that

you note down your IDs and passwords and keep them in a safe place.

Changing user-specific settings: In this menu, which can be

called up using the «C» key, the balance can be adapted to your

work technique and to speciﬁc tasks (section 4). The settings that

you deﬁne here will be stored under the active user proﬁle and

apply when working with all applications within this proﬁle. Please

ensure that the desired user proﬁle is active before you deﬁne the

settings.

Changing system settings: To change the system settings, which

apply to the entire weighing system i.e. for all user proﬁles and ap-

plications, press the «C» or «D» key and then the “System” button.

The system settings are described in detail in section 3.

Working: Carry out the desired operations. Information on work-

ing with the individual applications can be found in section 5

onwards.

Switching off the balance: On completion of the work, switch off

the balance by pressing and holding the «On/Off» key.
