Summary
The NV9641A is a 1RU control panel featuring 16 LCD function buttons (illuminated in various
colors and having 1 to 3 lines of text) and 2 up/down (scroll) buttons.
The NV9641A is functionally identical to the NV9641,

except that it incorporates a slightly
different type of LCD function button. When creating a configuration (under NV9000-SE Utili-
ties) for the NV9641A, you should choose NV9641 as the panel type. Configurations for the
NV9641A and NV9641 are interchangeable.
This 1RU panel is organized as shown in figures 2-1 and 2-2:

At the rear, in addition to power, serial, and network connectors, is a 25-pin GPIO (tally)
connector that supports 4 optically isolated relay outputs and 8 optically isolated inputs:
