SYSTEM OVERVIEW Page 5 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Solitaire System consists of a Solitaire Master Station and optional remote stations. The Solitaire Master Station allows presets to be set and stored in memory, fade times to be modified, and buttons and/or memory to be locked. Remote stations are needed for more sophisticated functions such as activating Presets 7 thru 18, auto-sequencing presets, combining areas, and selectively locking remote stations.
