The Button Control Module enables you to select how a button operates when pressed. See also

• as a Momentary button that turns on a function when pressed and held, and turns off the
function when released.
• as a Push On/Off button that turns on a function when
pressed and turns off the function when pressed again.
• as an Exclusive button that turns on a function when
pressed and turns off the button that was pressed
previously in the same row.
• as a Security Timer that requires the sequential press of
two buttons to turn on a function that turns off after a set
duration. The first button, which is the Security Timer,
must be selected from the buttons with the capability
shown in the table on page 31. The drop-down list of timer
durations has a choice of 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 seconds.
To turn on the security timer, Button 14, which is the
second "enable" button, must be pressed within 4 seconds
after the first button is pressed. If Button 14 controls
another function, such as a lightbar flash pattern, a second
press of Button 14 turns on the function.
To turn off the Security Timer, press the first button again or let it time out.
• as a Timer with a set duration for a function to stay on. The durations are the same as for the
Security Timer.
