Standard meter security

Standard meter security is enabled by default on the meter; all configuration functions are password-protected.

If you make configuration changes to the meter using the front panel, the meter prompts you for its password before accepting any configuration changes. You do not need to re-enter the password for each subsequent change. However, if you perform no additional configuration changes for five minutes, the meter exits setup mode; to make any further changes, you need to re-enter the Setup menu and provide the valid meter password.

If you make any configuration changes using ION Setup or Power Monitoring Expert software, you are prompted by the meter for its password (in addition to the password used to access the software).

After you enter the correct meter password and confirm the new configuration, the change is set on the meter.
