Operating Controls

Use the following rules to operate controls:
1. Select Controls from the Monitor menu.
2. Under the State field, choose a command (Opr - operate, Rls - release, or Mom - momentary).
3. Click Submit Data to issue the control.
The control relay's normal state - open or closed - is determined by a PCB jumper. Operating a control
thus changes the normal state of the relay (energizes it) until it is released (de-energized). The
momentary command energizes the relay for approximately one second before it is released again. Use
the event qualifiers to extend the momentary period.
