Pushbuttons and Menu Options
This section describes the pushbuttons and menus options.
LCD Screen
The TX-SK+ has a vertical backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) screen that can be programmed
with up to 30 text lines. Each TX-SK+ pushbutton can have up to three lines of text (eight
characters per line). Text lines can be highlighted using reverse video.
The page title can be set to display at the top or bottom of the LCD.
Battery display
The bottom display line will flash LOW BAT when approximately 1 to 3 hours of operation remain.
The back light is disabled in this mode. When you recharge the battery, the CHARGING message
flashes. A CHARGED message appears when charging is complete.
The TX-SK+ goes into sleep mode if the battery level is below minimum power level requirements.
Pushbuttons
There are 12 menu/operation pushbuttons on the TX-SK+. One pushbutton opens the main menu,
and the other toggles the back light on or off. The 10 remaining menu pushbuttons can be
programmed to display new menus, transmit wireless commands, or both.
Menu
The MENU pushbutton opens the main menu.
BACK LIGHT
The BACK LIGHT pushbutton toggles the back light on or off. When the back light is on, it stays
on for the user-defined time period. The time period can be set from 15 seconds to 5 minutes with
the BACK LIGHT TIMEOUT option in the special SETUP page.
Power
The TX-SK+ does not have an on/off switch. Instead, the panel uses an intelligent sleep mode when
it's not being used. The TX-SK+ is equipped with a timer that deactivates the display and back light
when it is inactive for a preset time. If any one of the TX-SK+'s pushbuttons are pressed, the panel's
back light, display, and current menu are activated.
AXCESS Programming
You can program the TX-SK+'s menus, text, operating logic, and wireless code transmission with
the AXCESS software program.
SKDesign Programming
The TX-SK+ uses a graphical approach to programming. You can create menus by adding text and
commands to pages in DOS format with your PC. Pages can be saved to disk to create a library of
pre-designed menus. Panel operation can be viewed on-screen from a simulated TX-SK+, and
