Note: The remaining key caps in Figure 2-2. are only examples. NVISION does not provide legends for the following key groups. This allows users to configure the buttons to meet their needs and to make and install custom legends.
MI9601-00 • Issue C • May 2001 • Section 2: NV9601 Installation Key Cap Legend Meanings Currently available key cap legends for the NV9601 X-Y Control Panel are listed and briefly described below. Some legends supplied are used with other panels and are not used with the NV9601.
MI9601-00 • Issue C • May 2001 • Section 2: NV9601 Installation Legend Installation Procedure Install the key cap legends into the button caps as follows. No tools are required.
