ONFIGURATION

 

The  program  P99  allows  setting  three  different  parameter  types,  i.e.  the  radio  channel,  the 
brightness, and internal time/date. 

Changing  the  Radio  Channel  (display  board  and  photocells  are  set  on  CH.1  by  default)  may  be 
necessary to prevent frequency collisions with other Kit Witty·TAB on the field. 

Put the n photocells that must be set into "

configuration mode

": turn off the photocells and then 

press and hold the on/off button for 5 seconds (see chap.  1.3.2). When all photocells have a red 
blinking light, continue with the channel configuration on the Witty·TAB.  Confirming the channel 
number  with  the  yellow  L

AP

-R

ESET

  button,  it  is  transmitted  to  all  listening  photocells  emitting  a 

dual tone beep, restarting them and turning them on in normal mode. Use the P98 program (chap. 
2.19) to ensure that the channel has been set correctly. 

 

CH _

 

Insert  the  radio  channel  number  (1-8)  assigned  to  the  display  board  and  to  all 

photocells which are in “

configuration mode

” in 

that moment 

L _

 

It is possible to choose between Automatic (“A”) brightness

 or set to a fixed value 

of  0-100  (with  steps  of  5),  where  100  is  the  maximum  brightness  and  0  the 
minimum. (see also chap. 1.6) 

d:t:__ 

Choose the date/time forma

t, either “EU” (= DD.MM.YY; HH:MM:SS 24h) or “US” 

(MM.DD.YY HH:MM:SS AM/PM) 

12:__ 

(Only for the US format) Select if the inserted time is AM/PM 

Date 

Insert Day, Month, Year (or Month, Day, Year for the US format) 

Time 

Insert  Hours,  Minutes  and  Seconds  of  the  current  time  (for  the  EU  use  the  24h 
format)

Please note, that the external reset is being disabled while this function is active 
(see below). 

(The  Lynx  ReacTime  device  must  be  programmed  with  the  special  firmware 
1.51b05  and  Witty·TAB  is  supporting  this  function  starting from firmware  version
