b. Non-Interlocked Functions
Contrary to interlocked settings, non-interlocked settings allow the two adjacent push
buttons be used simultaneously. Non-interlocked settings are usually applied to a
crane’s auxiliary functions such as lights, horns, 3
rd
speed, auxiliary stops and Pitch &
Catch. Each dip-switch on the decoder module corresponds to one (1) motion or two
(2) adjacent push buttons (left & right push buttons).
