MODULE PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 

Certain module functions can be programmed by using the mode selector switch and a front panel toggle 
switch. To enter the programming mode, press and hold the toggle switch to the right (PGM) position for 
approximately two seconds until the Gate 1 LED starts to flash. This indicates that the module is in the 
programming mode. By briefly pressing the toggle switch to the right and releasing it, the program group 
can be selected. The Gate 2, Trig 1, and Trig 2 LEDs will successively flash, indicating that the 
corresponding program group is selected. There are four program groups with 16 options per group. The 
table below describes the functions controlled by this arrangement. 

Once the option is programmed, its current state is stored in a non-volatile memory and will be restored 
the next time the module is powered. One of the program options can be selected to return all settings to 
the factory defaults.  

Within a group, to select the option to be programmed, turn the mode selector switch to the appropriate 
number and then press the toggle switch to the right (PGM) position for approximately two seconds or 
until the LED stops flashing and remains lit. Then release the toggle switch. The LED will go off after
