Question:
How do I set a button to give an audible “error” beep when someone presses a
disabled button?
Answer:
It can be very frustrating or confusing to a user when they press a button that usually
turns certain lights on and off, only to find that nothing is happening. Sometimes, this
happens when a switch button has been programmed to be disabled, but the user has no
way of knowing. Therefore, it is helpful to set up the switch to make and “error” beep if
the user presses a disabled button. To do this, follow the steps below:
1.
Go the Program Switch screen and select the switch you want to set up the error
beep for.
2.
Highlight the “SETUP” field and press ENTER
3.
Set the option labeled “
BTN Beep”
to “
Disable
”. This causes the switch to emit
a
rapid series of beeps
if a user presses a button that has been disabled. See Table
1.3 earlier in this guide for details.
4.
If you want the switch to make a standard beep whenever an enabled button is
pressed, and a
rapid series of beeps
when a disabled button is pressed, set the “
BTN
Beep
” option to “
Push + Disa.
” See Table 1.3 earlier in this guide for more
details.
