Version 3 Software Operation
13
Momentary Mode
Momentary mode is based on the action of a switch contact closing.
• If switch contact X is closed, message
X will be displayed for the hold time
configured using the Venus
®
1500
Software. Upon completion of this hold
time, the message will be automatically
blanked on the display.
• If multiple switch contacts are closed,
each message will be displayed once in
the same order the switch contacts were
closed for the duration of its hold time.
When using momentary mode, set DIP switch S1 to the “ON” position. All other switches
should be set to “OFF.” Refer to
for the momentary mode DIP switch settings.
BCD Mode (Binary Coded Decimal)
BCD mode allows only one message to be
displayed at a time. If a number is selected, that
message will be continuously displayed. Upon
selecting a new number, the previous message
will be blanked on the display and the new
message will be continuously displayed until
another number is selected.
When using BCD mode, there are two DIP switch
settings dependent on the type of BCD switch
used. The two types are settings of
Normal
and
Complementary
.
When using
Normal
BCD switches, set DIP switch
S2 to the “ON” position. All other switches should
be set to “OFF.” Refer to
for the
Normal
BCD mode DIP switch settings.
When using
Complementary
BCD switches, set
DIP switch S3 to the “ON” position. All remaining
switches should be set to “OFF.” Refer to
for the
Complementary
BCD mode DIP switch
settings.
