Resetting the Security Code to a Null
In case a CAL Security Override is required at any time:
• Create a text file with the defined name “CalSecureOverride.txt” in an
external USB flash drive at the root directory. This file should be
empty.
• Connect the USB drive to the counter front panel USB port.
NOTE Where USB usage is not allowed, FTP can be used to input the file
into the instrument.
• Power the instrument off and back on.
– At startup, the counter will detect the “CalSecureOverride.txt”
empty file on the USB flash drive and there will be a message on
the front panel display: “CAL Security Override file found. Turn
OFF CAL security?” which must be responded to within 10
seconds time.
• If the operator responds to the message (by pressing the YES soft key),
the counter will turn OFF the CALibration SECurity STATe.
– A front panel message “CAL Secure State is turned Off” will be
displayed.
• As the Calibration secure state is now OFF (i.e.the counter has been
un-secured) the operator can enter a new Secure Code.
• At this point, the operator can either turn the Calibration secure state
back ON or leave the box unsecured, as desired.
• The “CalSecureOverride.txt” file is automatically erased from the
USB flash drive, regardless of the user action or non-action.
