Storing and Demonstrating Component Systems There are three different ways to store complete systems with 903 Control Panels. During product demonstrations, it is normal to “build” a system for your customer as you qualify his/her needs during the selling process. Once the components of the desired system are active, the system may be stored in one of the following ways: 1) LPRESS the A, B, or C keys.
ABOUT SECURE FEATURES Beyond the basic operational features are many special features and functions that can dramatically enhance the switching system’s convenience and utility. Secure Features allow you to control and restrict access to the display, put the switching system into the SLEEP mode, protect stored systems from accidental erasure, etc. These special features are initiated with the SECURE Key.
SECURE 0 – Display Sleep Mode The Sleep Mode provides the equivalent of a master on/off switch for the display system. When in sleep mode, the switching system is still powered but all products are deselected, all lights on the Control Panel are off (except for a single flashing LED “pulse”), 12-volt ignition power to car audio products is turned off, and all operator input is ignored, except to awaken the system.
SECURE 88 – System Hardware Reset Provides a method for forcing a hardware reset (warm boot) for the control panel, switch modules, and 980 system module. Used after changing switching module address, control panel DIP switch settings, etc. to store new values, as a convenient alternative to removing power from the system.
SECURE 96 – Systems Write Protection Feature ON or OFF Write Protection prevents inadvertent or unauthorized changes to management’s stored systems. When the Systems are Write Protected (this feature ON), over-writing a stored system requires the entry of the Manager Code (Code A). Given this, if there are several Write Protected systems to change, it is easiest to turn this feature OFF temporarily to eliminate the Code A prompt, then turn if back ON, once editing is completed.
A product select button is a momentary switch, usually with an LED to indicate when a product is selected. Each button has a four-pin cable and four-conductor wire connecting the button to the switch module. Audio Authority carries several button styles and colors, check with your Account Manager for colors and availability.
Control Panel Control Panels, like the 903, 906G or third party Touchscreen, add central control and display capabilities to a system. Any control panel can operate hand-in-hand with product select buttons.
