NV9605
User’s Guide
• Setup mode — where the NV9605 is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the network.
In this mode, the configurer can preset the NV9605’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic
tasks.
Usually, only configurers need be concerned with setup mode.
See Setup Mode on page 41.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9605 in “menu” mode. In menu mode,
the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as needed
during menu operation.
There is nothing in the menu that concerns operators except button brightness. An operator
may use the menu to set button brightness. Administrators and configurers may use the
menu to view or change the panel ID, or to determine the software and firmware revisions.
See Menu Mode on page 39.
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode. “Normal”
means the panel is functioning in one of the 4 operating modes.
Button Legends
There are about 18 different button functions. Some might not be available on your panel
depending on the operating mode in which it was configured. Typically, buttons have graphic
or text legends that are plastic inserts placed under the clear button caps.
There are button templates available. Use these or your own to create button graphics. Print the
graphics on clear plastic, cut the button graphics apart and insert these under the button caps.
Buttons are also color-coded to a limited degree. Green represents sources. Amber represents
destinations. Those colors are used for other functions, however. High-tally (bright) buttons are
those that are selected; low-tally (dim) buttons are those that are not selected. Dark (white or
gray) buttons are those that are disabled.
Operating Concepts
Pages
The NV9605 has 4 “pages” of sources and destinations. You can scroll from page to page using
the scroll buttons immediately to the right of the panel’s display. The name of the current page
is always present in the bottom line of the display.
Pages are available in either mode.
Source Shift
Source shift also applies in either mode.
Each source button can represent two sources. A ‘Source Shift’ button selects which of the two
sources the source button will select. (The concept is similar to the shift key or the ‘caps lock’ key
on a keyboard.)
A source shift button is a toggle: it is low-tally when it has enabled the first source. It is high-tally
when it has enabled the second source.
A source shift button affects all source buttons.
