External Features

2 .1  Front Panel

Front-panel details are shown in Fig. 2.1.

2 .1 .1  Manual Control

Manual control is via toggle-buttons and rotary switches. Green LEDs indicate the current set-

tings and red LEDs are overload warnings (

Power

 and 

Battery

 LEDs apart).

With the exception of 

Remote

, the Type 12AQ can be manually-controlled via its front panel. 

Remote

 can be selected only via the RS232 interface. Note: when 

Remote

 is active, manual 

control is disabled (except power off). Only remote control via the RS232 interface is permitted.

Power button

Note: when external power is connected, it will take precedence over battery power.

With external power connected, the 

Power

 LED shows:

  •  Yellow for standby
  •  Green for switched on
With only battery power available, the 

Battery

 LED shows:

  •  Green for switched on

  •  Red for insufficient battery power, only when powered on (see chapter 3 for changing 

 

 batteries)
