Security Codes
The meter security codes provide protection for meter register and load profile data. Four
levels of security are inherent in the D/T/L Register. The table below describes the level of
access to the meter provided by each device security code. Once security codes are
programmed and stored in the meter, users are required to logon to the meter with an
appropriate password. The user may choose not to use security codes in the meter’s
program.
