Operating the Control Panel
Disconnecting Switches (Disconnect Mode)
Disconnecting a switch deactivates the connection between an input (source) and one or more output (destination) devices. Disconnecting an input disconnects all outputs currently receiving that source signal. An output can only be connected to one input; therefore, disconnecting an output will only disconnect the connection between the output and the input that is routed to it.
You can disconnect a switch by selecting either inputs or outputs from the control panel. Inputs and outputs can be selected in the same disconnect command.
Although switches can be disconnected when the panel is in Change Mode, the advantage of using the Disconnect Mode is that it can be used to quickly disconnect multiple outputs receiving a signal from the same input (by disconnecting the input) or from different inputs (by disconnecting the outputs).
Note: When you put the panel in Disconnect Mode, available keys will be blue and any unavailable ones will not be illuminated. When you select a blue key, it turns white. You can toggle the keys between the selected (white) and deselected (blue) state before pressing the Take Key. For more information, see page 45.
Once the control panel is in Disconnect Mode, inputs and outputs can be selected and deselected by pressing the corresponding Input and Output Keys. The disconnect command is not executed until the Take Key is pressed.
While in Disconnect Mode, the control panel will not show current routing for the inputs and outputs that are selected.
Caution: Disconnecting an input disconnects all outputs receiving that source signal even if a specific output(s) is selected at the same time.
Note: You can return to the Function menu at any time by pressing the Function Key.
To disconnect inputs and outputs:
This example disconnects Inputs 1 and 3 and all outputs connected to them as well as Output 9.
1.Press the Function Key. The Function menu appears.
2.Locate Disconnect by scrolling with the Control Dial.
3.Press the Select Key.
The system is in Disconnect Mode (all the available Input and Output Keys turn blue).
4.Press Input Keys 1 and 3 and Output Key 9.
The keys turn white indicating that they are selected.
5.Press the Take Key.
Inputs 1 and 3 (and all outputs connected to them) and Output 9 are disconnected as soon as the Take Key is pressed, and the keys turn blue.
6.Execute additional disconnects.
