1.9.5 Activating Security

In order to prevent unauthorized tampering with the flowmeter's programming, the XGS868i is equipped with a
security feature that locks all the keys except [PROG] (which, when pressed, requires the password).
When the system is locked, access to the menus will be denied unless the correct password is entered. The XGS868i is
shipped with a default password (2719 and three spaces). For increased security, the default password should be
changed.
IMPORTANT:
Once the system has been locked, it can only be unlocked by entering the password, because access to the
SECUR submenu is restricted.
While following the programming instructions, refer to the menu map in Figure 30 on page 79.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that all program parameters be recorded before changing the password. (This
information should be recorded in Appendix B, Data Records, as a matter of routine.) If the password is
lost, the site data is not retrievable and will have to be re-entered.
