RCP-ME User Guide (v4.0) Breakaways and Levels • 39
Viewing the Breakaways Assigned to an RCP-ME
You can view the breakaways assigned to an RCP-ME if a breakaway step button is assigned to the RCP-ME. The
breakaway step button cycles to the next breakaway in the list each time it is pressed. As each breakaway is
selected, the level(s) defined in that breakaway are illuminated if corresponding level buttons have been assigned to
the RCP-ME.
To view the breakaways assigned to an RCP-ME
• Press the breakaway step button repeatedly to cycle through the available breakaways.
The breakaway step button remains illuminated as you cycle through the breakaways. When the default
breakaway is selected, the breakaway step button switches off.

The breakaway button flashes if a warning is indicated.
If a breakaway warning is current for the selected breakaway, the breakaway warning indicator is shown on the
screen.
To view the name and levels of a breakaway
• Hold the breakaway button.
The name of the breakaway and an 8-character expression appear on the screen. Each character provides a
hexadecimal representation of the use of four levels, from 32 to 29 on the left, through to 4 to 1 on the right.
Table 17.1 provides a look-up table for reading the levels from the hexadecimal characters.

If level buttons have been assigned to the RCP-ME, these illuminate as part of the breakaway. The level buttons
are not illuminated when the default breakaway (Breakaway #1) is selected.
Level Mask Mode
Level Mask mode may be thought of as a breakaway (or group of levels) that can be edited by the user on the
RCP-ME panel itself. For example, if there is no predefined breakaway assigned to the RCP-ME, or, there is no
button assigned for a given breakaway, then you may use Level Mask mode to create the required level pattern prior
to a source selection.

Level Mask mode is available in firmware v1.48 or higher.
Assigning the Level Mask Function to a Button
You can assign the Level Mask function to any panel button.

The Button dialog opens.
