Control button functions
A key to the functions of the single control button on the P3 PowerPort 1500’s front panel is printed on the
panel and given in Table 3 below:
The test patterns that are stored in internal memory let you check that the video display products in an
installation are correctly connected without the need for a P3 system controller.
Note that test patterns can also be called up on P3 system controllers and on individual system components
that have a test/control button.
If any of the outputs of the P3 PowerPort 1500 have been disabled because of an overload or short circuit,
pressing the control button will re-enable the output(s) at the same time as it applies a function as shown in
Table 3.
