Octaire Control Panel Operation

Octaire Control Panel Operation

Overview

The Octaire Control Panel (standard on all systems) is used for controlling the system’s switches and system attributes. In multi-enclosure systems, the Control Panel is attached to the primary enclosure.

Note: AMX AutoPatch software can also be used to control a system; for more information, see the AMX AutoPatch CD. In addition, AMX AutoPatch enclosures can be controlled using BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands transmitted through an external controller; see the “BCS Protocol Instruction Manual” available on the CD or at www.amx.com.

The Control Panel has an LCD, a Function Key, a Control Dial, a Select Key, a Cancel Key, a Take Key, Input and Output Keys, and a Power Indicator. The Control Dial and Select Key work together for scrolling through the menus displayed on the LCD to place the system into various modes (the types of operations, e.g., Change Mode) or to access lists for control operations. Once in the desired mode, use the Input and Output Keys to select values and the Take Key to execute the operations (some modes require using the Control Dial and Select Key to select values).

Function Key

The Function Key accesses the Function menu on the LCD. As the Control Dial is scrolled, the menu displays the various command options, e.g., Status, Disconnect, etc. The Function Key can be pressed at anytime to return the display to the Function menu. For an overview of menu options, see page 45.

Select Key

The Select Key enters a selection. In addition, the Select Key can be used to execute global presets; however, the Select Key cannot execute or disconnect switches. Pressing the Take key executes or disconnects switches.

Cancel Key

Pressing the Cancel Key clears an incomplete operation and returns the display to the beginning of a submenu or list. The Cancel Key cannot undo a completed operation, e.g., an operation followed by the pressing of the Take Key or an audio adjustment made with the Control Dial. If the Cancel Key flashes, an error has occurred; a flashing Cancel Key must be pressed before continuing.
