Introduction
Panel Organization
At the rear of the panel are power, serial control, Ethernet, and GPIO connectors:
Fig. 2-2: NV9605 Rear
You connect the NV9605 to the NV9000 system using the Ethernet connector.
The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.
The NV9605 uses external PS0001 power supplies. One will suffice. Two provide redundancy.
The GPIO connector supports the panel’s GPIO functions: 4 outputs and 8 inputs. See GPIO on
page 45.
Panel Organization
Function Buttons
The NV9605 has an array of 32 function buttons on the left. Four of the 6 buttons on the right are
function buttons. (The other 2 buttons on the right are scroll buttons.) The buttons’ functions
are only slightly different in each of the 2 operating modes. (See
Modes of Operation , next.)
The 10 buttons at the top left are labeled with numerals (0–9). These are for menu operations
such as entering the panel ID.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. Operators
can adjust the low tally levels in increments of 10% using the panel’s menu. Buttons that are
turned off are said to be “dark.” (Physically, they are actually white or gray.)
 Generally, green represents a source or a source function and amber represents a destina-
tion or a destination function.
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts
for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.

Differences between the Left and Right Function Buttons
All 32 buttons to the left of the display scroll whenever you press a scroll button. The buttons on
the pages are independent. For instance, a button that is a source on one page need not neces-
sarily be a source button on another page.
The 4 function buttons on the right behave differently when you scroll:
• Source buttons remain source buttons on all pages, although they can represent different
sources on different pages. Destination buttons are destination buttons on all pages,
although they can represent different destinations on different pages.
• Other functions (such as ‘Hold’ or ‘Menu’) are fixed and remain the same for all pages.

2. The NV9605V (virtual panel) has automatically generated button legends. For instance, a source button
might have 2 lines of text: its “unshifted” source and its “shifted” source, selected with a ‘Source Shift’
button.
