OPERATION

Front Panel Description

The front panel is operated by using three touch sensitive keys: Menu

A

, Back

B

, Dim

C

and a Multi-Function Knob

D

.

Multi-Function Knob Operation: Used to navigate through all menu items, the multi-function knob can scroll (clockwise

or counterclockwise) and select or de-select (press in). The open arrow  symbol is displayed when scrolling through

menu items. Once an item has been selected (by pressing in the knob), the arrow will fill in . Next, turn the knob to

adjust the value. Finally, press in the knob again to de-select the menu item and scroll to the next item that needs to be

adjusted.

Menu Button > Menu Screen

A

Press the Menu Button to access these main menu options: Output Settings, Input Settings, Override, Scene Presets,

Groups, Front/Back Panel, Network, Firmware and Factory Defaults. In addition, the menu button toggles the front panel

between the main menu and output meters.

Back Button

B

Press the back button to return to a previous screen. Pressing the back button repeatedly eventually returns to the main

menu.

Dim Button

C

This button toggles through four predefined brightness levels for the VFD and keyboard LED indicators. After a set period

of time (adjustable using the front panel or the SF-16M PC configurator), the VFD enters a screen saver mode (dark).

The power and button LEDs remain on at the same level to show that the unit is receiving power. Any key press or knob

adjustment causes the system to return the VFD and LED indicators to the last selected brightness level.
