3.3.2. Take / Autotake Modes
The router has two different switching modes:
Take
and
Autotake
. If the
Take / Auto
button is unlit,
Take
mode is active. When the
Take / Auto
button continuously lights green,
Autotake
mode is selected.
Press and hold the
Take
button for three seconds to toggle between
Take
and
Autotake
modes.
Take Mode
DEFINITION: The
Take
mode allows the user to connect or disconnect multiple outputs to an input
at once but the layout must be confirmed (executed) by the
Take
button as a final step.
The commands are only realized when the
Take
button is pressed. If no button is pressed for two seconds,
all preselected actions (which were not realized with the pressing
Take
) will be ignored, and the router
returns to its idle state.
Autotake Mode
DEFINITION: The
Autotake
mode means the switching actions are executed immediately (without
user confirmation).
#autotakemode
The switching occurs immediately upon pressing one of the input selector buttons. This mode is
useful when time delay is not allowed between multiple switching.
