button has a latching action by default*; press to activate, press again to
deactivate. When the DIM button is active it illuminates yellow. An ‘active
low’ remote input is available for remotely controlling the DIM operation.
Setting the Brightness of the Front Panel LEDs
The DIM button is also used to set the brightness of the LEDs that illuminate
all of the front panel buttons. When power is applied to the unit, all of the
LEDs on the front panel are illuminated for 1 second. During this period,
pressing the DIM button will adjust the LED brightness to one of the three
available levels. Each time the button is pressed, the 1 second timeout
period is restarted. When the required LED brightness level has been set,
simply allow the unit to return to normal operation.
CUT Button
The CUT button mutes the audio at the output. The CUT button has a
latching action by default*; press to activate, press again to deactivate.
When the CUT button is active it illuminates red. An ‘active low’ remote
input is available for remotely controlling the CUT operation.
Changing the Button Action From Latching to Momentary or
Auto *
The standard mode for both DIM and CUT buttons is latching - press to
activate, press again to deactivate. However if required, the mode can be
changed to be either momentary or auto.
In momentary mode the button will only be active when the button is
pressed, (or when the remote signal is active). When the button is released
the button is inactive.
In auto mode if the button is pressed for between 50ms and 250ms it will
latch. If the button is pressed in excess of 250ms and then released the
button will act with momentary function.
To change the current mode of the buttons, the unit should be powered up
whilst holding down the DIM and CUT buttons for 5 seconds. The DIM and
CUT buttons should then start to flash to indicate the current mode i.e:
1 Flash = Auto Mode
2 Flashes = Latching Mode
3 Flashes = Momentary
To change the mode simply press the relevant button to change the number
of flashes.
Once set, hold down the DIM and CUT buttons for 5 seconds again to
confirm changes and exit this mode.
