Operating Concepts
B
Level
The button selects a level.
The button exists only when your panel is configured for single-destination mode with breakaway.
Presumably, it will have several level buttons, one for each level you need to control.
You will select one or more levels for a breakaway and then press a source button to complete the
take. When all level buttons are
deselected
, or when all level buttons are
selected,
a take is “all-
level.” When one or more level buttons are selected, a take occurs on just those levels.
You must select levels before selecting the source.
The color of the level buttons reflect the levels of the current destination in a limited way.
button function, following.
All
Menu
This button puts the panel in menu mode and produces a menu on the buttons and in the displays
that provides access to a variety of panel functions.
Without the button, the operator has no access to the menu functions.
By pressing certain buttons, you makes menu selections and enter data (such as panel ID) or change
brightness values. When the panel is in menu mode, you must press the ‘Menu’ button to cycle
through the functions of the menu. See
on page 41.
The button definition has no fields to configure.
All
Name Set Toggle
An ‘Name Set Toggle’ button toggles the panel between its default name set and the “system name”
set. Whichever name set you select becomes the “active” name set.
B
None/All
The ‘None/All’ button toggles the panel between all levels (of the current destination) being
selected and none of the levels being selected.
All
Panel Lock
The button prevents accidental changes to the panel settings, especially router crosspoints. When
the panel is locked, the button array becomes blank except for the Panel Lock button which
becomes high tally amber.
The button is a toggle: press the panel lock button again to revert the panel to its previous state.
S, B, X
Previous Source
The button presets the previously routed source to the currently selected destination. To restore the
previous route, you must next press ‘Take’ assuming you have not changed the destination. This
function is useful when you make a route in error.
The button does
not
restore the previous destination. If you changed the destination and press ‘Pre-
vious Source’, the take will not restore the previous route.
All
Salvo
The salvo button executes a system salvo immediately.
