LA6 Signal Tower Complete Operation Manual
• “Signal Tower” mode operation example
6.2. “Smart Mode”
There are three kind of modes, ““Time-trigger” mode”, ““Pulse-trigger” mode”, and “Single-display” mode”.
The factory default input is the “Time-trigger” mode, but there is a “Pulse-trigger” mode and “Single-display” mode, of which
each type can be changed by the setup, which means it is necessary to create the setup data and transmit it to the product with
a personal computer which has the
“EDITOR for LA series” software application (Visit our homepage at
http://www.patlite.com/
to download the software.)
installed in it. (Refer to “7. Changing Data” on page 37 for details on how to change the data)
For details, please refer to the software help section.
The main mode has common functions for each type and has the following at this mode.
• Input 6 (“Mute” input)
The alarm sound stops when an “ON” input occurs, and muffles the sound.
• Input 7 (“Clear” input)
If an input for each type is set to ON, the pattern contents which are controlling the operation will be initialized and it will return
to the first pattern. Also, LED’s from all the tiers will go out at an “ON” input, and the alarm is also muffled.
Refer to each mode for the explanation of how their “Clear” input should look.
6.2.1. “Time-trigger” mode
The “Time-trigger” mode has 63 set patterns to which the memory contains two or more patterns used as a series of wave-like
flows, etc. that can be used in groups. The “Time-trigger” mode operates in accordance with time, and the pattern transition
timing operates during this group operation. In addition, the maximum memory of 15 groups can be set up in ON/OFF
combinations, and a call is made to inputs 1-4.
Moreover, the “Time-trigger” mode for input 5 turns into a “STOP” input, and during the input, operates by either one of the
following conditions indicated below, and stops the time progress of the pattern changes.
- “STOP” input of a pattern currently on display to change to a lighted state.
- “STOP” input of a pattern currently on display to change to a flashing state.
- “STOP” input of a special pattern currently on display to change to a lighted state.
- “STOP” input of a special pattern currently on display to change to a flashing state.
The setup to select these can be performed in the “EDITOR for LA series” software application (Visit our homepage at
