MANUAL CONTROL OF PORTS
The manual push-button switch on the front panel can be used for local control of the 8PK-SCS. Each
time the button is depressed, the port will cycle to the next port. To return the 8PK-SCS to automatic
operation, depress the push-button switch for over two seconds; all Port LEDs will turn off.
The Timeout feature, if enabled continues to operate when Manual control is established. To override
this feature, select Timeout = 0 from the Programming menu.
When manual control is selected, lead control is locked out. Escape codes will override the manual
selection only in Terminal Mode
