Remove or Install the Wall Plate Remove Wall Plate After station installation is complete, to gain further access to the Record/Program Mode features and set the station Function switch, you must first remove the station wall plate. The wall plate is secured to the station with magnets that are attached to the wall plate. Step 1: Using your index finger and thumb, lift the left and right side edges of the bottom of the wall plate, disengaging the magnets.
Note: Customize and print your own button legends on standard transparency. Download the button legend template provided on the ETC website www.etcconnect.com. Each button can have a legend, installed beneath the button lens. To remove, install, or replace a button legend you must first remove the bezel and button lens from the station electronics.
Rotary Switch Assignments Two rotary switches on the rear panel of the station provide for station address and space assignment. Each station must be set to a unique station address for the assigned space. By default, these switches are set to Station Address 1, Space 1. Events and commands are shared by all devices within an assigned space.
Note: ETC recommends that you reset power to the station after changing a dip switch setting. Switch # Use When enabled, switch 1 provides “Use Off” functionality or “Sequence toggle”, depending on the station type.
