2.2.1 Local Control Interface
This section describes local operation of a 60/40S1G18B Multi-Band Amplifier using the human interface
items found on the control panel.
2.2.1.1. Toggle Switch
The Toggle Switch is provided for protection from unexpected remote control of the 60/40S1G18B Multi-
Band Amplifier. The 60/40S1G18B Multi-Band Amplifier can only be turned on locally when the Toggle
Switch is in the LOCAL position. Likewise, the unit can only be turned on or controlled remotely when the
Toggle Switch is in the REMOTE position. All remote queries are processed and responded to in either of the
two Toggle Switch positions.
2.2.1.2 Power Button
The momentary POWER button turns the main power to the 60/40S1G18B Multi-Band Amplifier on and off.
The status of the green light-emitting diode (LED) in the switch indicates whether the 60/40S1G18B Multi-
Band Amplifier’s power is on or off. The main power supply fans are active when power is on. The LCD
touch display is active as long as the main circuit breaker for the 60/40S1G18B Multi-Band Amplifier power
entry module is on.
2.2.1.3 Adjust Knob
The ADJUST knob is used to set the RF Gain of the amplifier. The range of RF Gain is 0 to 100 percent.
The ADJUST knob can be rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise 360 degrees.
2.2.1.4 Touch Screen
The Touch screen is a color LCD that can accept single touch events from soft blunt objects such as a human
finger. The mechanism that registers touch events is resistive based and relies on pressure not capacitance.
Menu options presented on the touch screen are typically gray in color with a black text label in the center.
When a valid touch event is registered, a thin black box appears around the valid touch location and an
optional audible beep will occur.
