Modes Of Control; Direct - AbleNet PowerLink 4 Manual Del Usuario

Modes of Control

The PowerLink control unit offers six modes of appliance control: Direct, Count, Two-Switch, Timed
Seconds, Timed Minutes, and Latch. Press the "Mode" button repeatedly to cycle through the
modes of control.
Some modes use the Display Counter to convey information. These modes, and the display's func-
tion are identified with this symbol:

Direct

The Direct mode keeps the appliance(s) on only while the switch is activated.
Once released, the appliance(s) will turn off.
Count
Count mode behaves like Direct mode, showing the number of activations on the
Display Counter.
When used with two switches, the Display Counter will reflect whichever side
was most recently activated. To view either side's number of activations, press the
corresponding Status button.
Press and Release the Left and Right buttons simultaneously to reset the counter
back to 00.
Two-Switch
Two-Switch mode requires two simultaneous switch activations to turn an
appliance on. When activated, all attached appliances will activate in Direct
mode.
Two switches must be attached or linked to use this mode.
Timed Seconds
The Timed Seconds mode allows the appliance to run for a preset amount of time,
from 1 to 99 seconds, with a single activation.
Set the desired number of seconds with the Up and Down arrows. (Press and Hold
to quickly move through the numbers.) The Display Counter will show the time set
and, once a switch is activated, count down to one. Press the Up or Down arrow
during activation to adjust the amount of time remaining.
If a second switch is activated the Display will reflect that side's remaining
time. Press either Status button to view the time remaining for that side.
Note: If you do not want to wait for the set time to expire, press the Mode button
to select any other mode of control, attached appliances will shut off.
Timed Minutes
This mode behaves exactly like the Timed Seconds mode, but using minutes
rather than seconds.
Latch
One activation of a switch turns the corresponding appliance on; the second
activation turns it off. Use the Latch mode when you want an appliance (such as a
lamp) to remain on indefinitely.
