just the Group A and B master ‘Go’ or ‘Standby’ buttons. All group assign-
ing remains stored in memory, even during power down. The assignments
will therefore be restored whenever the Main Unit is powered up again and
remain active until reassigned.
Any channels not assigned to either Group A, B, or A+B will still need to
be controlled as individual channels. Any channels that have been as-
signed to Group A, B, or A+B can still be manually controlled at any time if
required also.
When multiple Main Units are linked via the RS232 ports, the system can
be programmed to also link the group master buttons. In this configuration,
pressing any of the ‘Go’ or ‘Standby’ group master buttons on any Main
Unit will simultaneously cue all assigned channels on all Main Units ac-
cordingly. Up to 8 Main Units can be linked for larger systems providing for
up to 112 Outstations. See ‘Main Unit Setup’ for more information on link-
ing Main Units.
Using the Beeper.
The Main Unit operator can give audible cues to beeper-type Outstations.
When the operator holds down the ‘Beep’ button on the Main Unit and
simultaneously presses the ’Standby’ button on the channel assigned to
the required beeper-type Outstation, the Outstation will emit a discrete
“click” sound (a very short beep). By pressing both the ‘Beep’ and ‘Go’
buttons, the Outstation sounds a long beep for as long as the button is
pressed - up to a maximum of two seconds. The ’Standby’ LED on the
cued Outstation flashes also while the beeper operates. Beeper-type Out-
stations function just like standard cuelight Outstations when not giving
audible cues.
The Beep button can also be used in conjunction with the group master
buttons to give audible cues to groups of beeper-type Outstations.
The beep button can be disabled on the Main Unit. See “Main Unit Setup”
for details.
