Obsolete Thermotron Controller access?

Hello there!

there are several steps listed here that don’t seem to indicate the need for a password:

Thanks! I'm familiar with that manual. The problem is twofold: I don't have a Thermotrak license, and the issue is not around pulling the tuning parameters, but having access to change the channel limits themselves, which are factory set. Goal is to be able to use legacy controller parts to keep this thing running for another couple years.

On the even older controllers, there was a hidden 2-button access that wasn't silkscreened on the control panel. But they got rid of that and went to passwords on the 7800.

Obrigado! Conheço esse manual. O problema é duplo: eu não tenho uma licença Thermotrak, e o problema não é puxar os parâmetros de sintonia, mas ter acesso para alterar os próprios limites de canal, que são definidos de fábrica. O objetivo é poder usar partes do controlador legado para manter isso funcionando por mais alguns anos.

Nos controladores ainda mais antigos, havia um acesso oculto de 2 botões que não era serigrafado no painel de controle. Mas eles se livraram disso e foram para senhas no 7800.

Hey all,

This is a complete shot in the dark:

I have a chamber that has an old 7800 series controller. Anyone happen to know the factory password for those controllers? I want to pull parameters, and be able to set up a backup if needed.

Thermotron isn't really willing to support those controllers anymore, and my management doesn't want to put the cash into a controller upgrade or new chamber yet.

Thanks!
