All short dotted lines show states from where an output may be turned off.  

The  two  long  dotted  lines  indicate  two  options :  Depending  on  whether  an  automatic 
switch-over  to  a  spare  lantern  is  present  and  configured  the  line  from  5  to  2  indicates 
that  it  will  turn  on  the  spare  lantern.  If  no  spare  lantern  is  present  and  configured,  the 
line  from  5  to  7  indicates  that  the  red  l ed  will  turn  on  steady  to  indicate  that  the 
corresponding lantern is defect and no spare is available.  

 

 

 

Button configurations 

Besides  regular  button  functionality  as  described  in  the  table  above,  the  flexible 
configuration  of  the  Commander  allows  button

s to be defined as RapidAction™ buttons 

or GroupSelect™ buttons. 

RapidAction™  buttons:  One  touch  on  such  a  button  turns  on  and/or  off  dedicated 
outputs  and  the  corresponding  buttons  green  LEDs,  while  no  led  will  lit  up  in  the 
RapidAction™  button  itself.  The  button  merely  acts  as  a  hot  key,  simplifying  standard 
operations, such as turning on sailing lanterns or anchor lanterns.  

GroupSelect™  buttons:  Similar  to  radio  buttons  on  computer  software.  The  user  press 
one  such  button  and  the  other  buttons  in  the  row   will  turn  off  all  LEDs,  while  the  green 
led  on  the  GroupSelect™  button  that  has  been  pressed  will  light  up.  This  functionality 
may  be  used  for  setting  a  dimmer  level,  e.g.  with  four  buttons  that  allows  four 
settings/levels. 

For  navigation  lights  control  s ystem,  the  first  button  column  at  the  panel  is  normally 
used for RapidAction™ functionality, named F-keys at the panel. The function of F-keys 
is software configurable and will switch on and off a predefined set of outputs.  

The  setup  of  F-keys  is  specific  for  each  system,  please  refer  to  project  drawings  for 
details.
