13. Operating Panels
Operating a control panel is usually quite simple. The basic operations are the same for all panels
except the CP3201. The CP3201 is slightly different because it has a “default destination. Addition-
ally, the CQX (“clean and quiet”) panel features unique buttons for smooth transitions. For detailed
information on operating Compact Router Series panels, refer to the CR Series Compact Router
User’s Guide.
For a complete list of panels supported by the Compact Router System Configurator (CRSC), see
Products on page 77.
This section briefly describes how to use the control panel to perform the following tasks:
• Perform ‘takes’ (normal and breakaway). See Performing Takes on page 99.
• Lock or unlock destination or control panels. See Performing Locks on page 107.
• Execute salvos. See Executing Salvos on page 109.
• Select levels. See Performing Level Selection on page 109.
Although operations are usually straightforward, the meaning of the operations differ according to
panel mode. See
Remote Panel Operating Modes on page 68.
Before configuring or using a panel, it is recommended that you become familiar with how control
panel buttons are grouped and what different illuminations denote, as described in
Control Panel
Buttons on page 93.
Control Panel Buttons
All Compact Router Series (CR Series) control panels have common button features except for.
CQX panels, which have unique buttons for executing smooth transitions. See
CQX Panel Buttons
on page 97. In addition, CQX panels only have two functioning default buttons commonly found
on other CR Series panels: ‘Panel Lock’ and ‘Destination Lock’.
CR Series control panels were designed before the existence of the Compact Router System Con-
figurator (CRSC). Their button layouts (and button colors) are appropriate to what has been called
“default” mode where green buttons are grouped together and labeled “Source” and amber buttons
are grouped together and labeled “Dest.” This coloring has no meaning in CRSC.
Note Because captive panels operate in default mode, their button coloring and label-
ing is meaningful. However, they are not configurable and do not operate accord-
ing to the rules of CRSC.
