A. Product Description:
The Switch-It CTRL+5® with Assignable Buttons is a switch box device
that plugs into the PG Drives R-Net system and allows for the set up of a
maximum of ten different functions in ten discrete buttons (each switch is
two buttons). The Ctrl+5 switches are pre- programmed from the factory
to default values for the actuators on the chairs, however this particular
model uses the Sunrise Medical patented Assignable Buttons feature.
This feature allows the button assignments to be changed to any of the
Assignable Buttons functions to best suit each unique user. The system

a total of up to 20 different functions in twenty discrete buttons.
