The LOCK switch will toggle state each time it is pressed. When
the LOCK switch is illuminated all assignment changes are
disabled and virtual fader operation is locked (either on or off).
The console will automatically revert to a locked state if no
assignment controls are operated within a 90 second period.
The VCA, MUTE and FADER switches set the current
assignment/display mode for the fader tray LED's. As a default
these switches interlock so that only one mode can be viewed
at a time. However if Mute and VCA are pressed down for
more than 0.5 second the interlock is removed. This is used
for "clear mode" (see below).
If the console is in VCA or MUTE mode, the ASSIGN KEYS
can be used to change settings for input VCA assignment or
automute assignment in conjunction with the SET switch on
each channel as follows:-
To enter ASSIGNMENT mode first press the LOCK switch
(to un-lock the assignment system).
Press the ASSIGN KEYS to set up the required group number
or numbers; a long press will allow multiple assignment
where as a short press will clear the previous settings.
Press the SET switch on the input channels to which the
assignment is required. Again there are two ways to do this;
a long press will remove all prior settings on the input and
replace them with the new assignment; a short press will
toggle the state of any switches within the assignment set up.
i.e. if assign keys one and two are on. Pressing the input SET
switch will cause that channel to toggle the number one and
two assignments for the channel either from off to on or visa
versa.
To enter CLEAR mode set all the assign
keys to off.
To switch the assign keys off simply press
the ones that are illuminated which will
toggle them off.
In this mode operating an input SET switch
with a long press will clear all the VCA and
/or automute assignments. The mode switches
can be used to select which parts are cleared,
i.e. press VCA mode to clear VCA's, press
MUTE mode to clear automutes, or use a
long press to activate both VCA and MUTE
mode for simultaneous clearing.

Assignment Control

The A/B switch selects which micro card is controlling the
console assignment and automation systems. This is a major
function! At the point of change over there is no defined control
of the faders within the fader tray and output levels will change.
The A/B switch should there for be treated with the same
cautions used at console power up/down.
For reliability the assignment and automation systems are
100% duplicated. The console can operate on either of the
systems. All snap shots are stored on BOTH of the systems.
The LED's indicate the status of each system in the following
manner:-
LED green indicates which system is active
LED off indicates which system is inactive
LED red indicates that a system is damaged or not
responding and that a service engineer must be called
as soon as possible.
