User’s Guide
• Menu mode — pressing a Menu button places the panel in “menu” mode. In menu mode,
the display, or alternatively, the LCD button array becomes a menu. (The menu provides a
small set of diagnostic and other functions.)
• Hold mode.
In MD mode, turning hold mode on allows you to select more than one destination button
at a time. When you select a source, the source applies to all selected destinations. If hold is
still on when you press ‘Take’, the selected destinations remain selected.
Without hold enabled, the MD desinations become unselected after an MD take.
In X-Y mode, the hold button causes breakaway levels to be retained after a take. The levels
you selected (and deselected) remain lit (or unlit) as they were before the take.
• ‘Save Preset’ mode — whatever is on preset is retained on preset after a take. Otherwise,
whatever is on preset is discarded after a take.
• Information mode — pressing an ‘Information’ button (when there is information to display)
places the panel in “information” mode. In information mode, the display reports informa-
tion such as level mappings.
• (For the NV9601 and some other panels) scroll mode — when the operator presses a ‘Scroll’
button, scroll mode becomes active and the operator may scroll through lists of devices for a
category (during category device selection).
• Level mode (which exists only for the NV9609 and the NV9649 when it is in NV9609 mode.)
Operators can switch the panel in and out of level mode (if the panel has a ‘Level Mode’ but-
ton). Level mode allows you to select one of the destination’s levels (by scrolling). A take in
level mode is a single-level breakaway.
When the panel is
not in level mode, takes occur on either all levels or selected levels of the
current destination.
If the panel has multiple ‘Level’ buttons, operators can perform multiple-level breakaway.
• (For the NV9654 only) ‘All Buttons’ mode vs ‘Display and Buttons’ mode. When the panel is in
‘Display and Buttons’ mode, the leftmost 15 buttons (a 5×3 array) function as a display.
When the panel is in ‘All Buttons’ mode, they do not.
Behavioral Models
The NV9641 has two behavioral models:
• LCD XY/MD. Under this model, the panel has a tree-structured button layout.
• Paging. In this model, the panel supports a list of button pages through which the operator
can scroll.
The NV9649 provides 3 behavioral models::
• ‘Panel Server’
Under the “server” model, the panel operates in conjunction with a number of NV9648s. The
NV9649 is the “server” and the NV9648s are the “clients.”
• ‘NV9609 Panel’
When the panel is in “NV9609” mode, it functions exactly like an NV9609 (but with LCD but-
tons). In this mode, the panel operates standalone, without regard to any NV9648s.
