MAGNUM VERSION 8 MANUAL REVISION 3.1

5. Authorization Function

The authorization code is a special four-character code that enables access to the Magnum controller.

The code may consist of any valid alpha/numeric characters if the system is being accessed through MCS-Connect,

however, the code must be numeric with values between 1 and 8 if it is to be entered through the Keypad/Display.

Each Magnum can have up to 10 different authorization codes, with four levels of authorization which provide differing

levels of functionality. The authorization code and the associated level cannot be viewed or changed through the

Keypad/Display or MCS-Connect, but only when the configuration file is opened in MCS-Config. The authorization

codes should be protected and remain confidential, or unauthorized personnel may gain access to the system and

perhaps cause irreparable damage.

Based upon the authorization level the following changes can be made through the Keypad/Display:

* Setpoints may have individual authorization levels; you must have the proper authorization to view or edit them.

**See the Setup screen of the configuration for authorization level(s) that are allowed unlimited resets per day.

Authorization levels below ‘Auth Level Bypass’ are allowed only a limited number of resets. Authorization levels at and

above ‘Auth Level Bypass’ are allowed unlimited lockout resets.

To get authorized through the Keypad/Display do the following:

1. Press ‘Menu’

2. Using , , , or  keys, move cursor to ‘Passwords’

3. Press  key.

4. Enter 4 digit password and press.

5. The authorization will be displayed.

6. Press ‘Menu’ to make next selection.

To get authorized through MCS-Connect do the following:

1. Highlight desired Magnum in the Site Information screen.

2. Click button.

3. Enter the 4 digit code into the pop-up box and click ok (or press the enter key).

4. Depending on the authorization level, the button will change to one of the following displays,

indicating if the code was accepted or not.
