Version 4 Software Operation

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 are
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
below for the
Complementary
BCD mode DIP switch settings.
