GREEN LED PULSE PATTERN
Prior to learning how to change the configuration of the LCD–8, it is first nec-
essary to understand how the device communicates with the user; see Table 1. As
there is no display on the unit, the only means of communicating with the device is
to carefully observe the pulse pattern of the green LED.

LCD-8 Magnetic Reed Switch
The LCD-8 uses an internal magnetic reed switch (Figure 4), where the user
swipes a magnet (Figure 5) externally across this switch (Figure 6) to start a hold-
on cycle or to terminate a running hold-on cycle. The magnetic switch determines
whether the user’s action “swipes” or “holds” the magnet during LCD-8 configuration.
