7.3.8 Access code and user roles

Meaning of the access code
An access code can be defined in order to distinguish between the following user roles:
User role Definition
Maintenance • Knows the access code.
• Has write access to all parameters (except service parameters).
Operator • Doesn't know the access code.
• Has write access to only a few parameters.
• The description of parameters states which role is needed at least for read and write access to each parameter.
• The current user role is indicated by the Access status display parameter.
• If the access code is "0000", every user is in the Maintenance role. This is the default setting on delivery of the device.
Defining an access code
1. Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Administration → Define access code → Define access code
2. Enter the intended access code (max. 4 digits).
3. Repeat the same code in the Confirm access code parameter.  The user is in the Operator role. The -symbol appears in front of all write-
protected parameters.
Switching to the "Maintenance" role
If the -symbol appears on the local display in front of a parameter, the parameter is write-protected because the user is in the Operator role. To switch to the Maintenance role, proceed as follows:
1. Press .  The input prompt for the access code appears.
2. Enter the access code.  The user is in the Maintenance role. The -symbol in front of the parameters
disappears; all previously write-protected parameters are now re-enabled.
Switching back to the "Operator" role automatically
The user automatically switches back to the Operator role:
• if no key is pressed for 10 minutes in the navigation and editing mode.
• 60 s after going back from the navigation and editing mode to the standard view (measured value display).

Defining the type of measured value
This setting can be skipped for a connected Prothermo NMT5xx as the type of measured value is automatically recognized by the Micropilot NMR8x in this case.
• The measured values can only be used in the system if the unit of the assigned HART variable fits the type of measured value. The HART variable assigned to Output temperature, for example, has to be in °C or °F.
• A HART variable with unit "%" can not be used for Output level. Instead, the HART variable must be in mm, m, ft or in.
The type of measured value must be specified for each HART variable (PV, SV, TV and QV). To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Input/output → HART devices  There is a submenu for each connected HART device.
2. For each device go to the corresponding submenu.

9.4.10 Tank calculation: Thermal tank shell correction (CTSh)

CTSh (correction for the thermal expansion of the tank shell) compensates for effects on the Gauge Reference Height (GRH) and on the expansion or contraction of the measuring wire due to temperature effects on the tank shell or stilling well. The temperature effects are separated into two parts, respectively affecting the 'dry' and 'wetted' part of the tank shell or stilling well. The correction function is based on thermal expansion coefficients of steel and insulation factors for both the 'dry' and 'wet' parts of the wire and the tank shell. The temperatures used for the correction can be selected from on manual or measured values.
This correction is recommended for the following situations:
• if the operating temperature deviates considederably from the temperature during calibration (ΔT > 10 °C (18 °F))
• for extremely high tanks
• for refrigerated, cryogenic or heated applications
As the use of this correction will influence the innage level reading, it is recommended to ensure the manual hand dip and level verification procedures are being conducted correctly before enabling this correction method.
This mode cannot be used in conjunction with HTG because the level is not measured relative to the gauge reference height with HTG.
