System operation is extremely simple, although there are several different ways of using the 
Elite Series system. According to your requirements, the system can be configured differently 
– see 

System Operation (Local) in Chapter V

 and 

System Operation (Remote) in Chapter VI.

 

In the unlikely event that the system does not operate properly, you should contact our
