which procedure the gun switch is requesting. Memory Selection

RECALL - When a memory key is depressed its indi- cator comes on, and its contents are copied to the active procedure. As long as no changes are made to the contents of that procedure, the memory indicator will be on anytime that procedure is active. This indi- cates that their contents are the same. Any change to that procedure will cause the memory indicator to go off, indicating that they are no longer equal.

SAVE - The save mode allows “hard” memories to be changed. Pressing the SAVE key will light the save indicator, and enter the save mode. In the save mode, the indicator for the memory that was the source of the active procedureʼs contents will blink, whether their contents are still equal or not. This feature allows the user to choose to save an active procedure back to its source, or some other location.

To complete the save transaction requires the selec- tion of one of the memory keys. When the memory key is pressed in the save mode, itʼs contents are overwritten with the contents of the active procedure. This means that the contents of the memory location and the active procedure are now equal, and there- fore, by definition, each of their indicators will be lit, and the save mode will be exited. To exit the save mode without saving, depress the save key a second time. This feature allows the operator to determine the source of the active procedureʼs contents without actually overwriting it.

Installation is as follows:

1.Turn off power.

2.Remove the two screws from the front of the stan- dard or option panel at the location you choose to install your new option, (middle), of the Control Box cabinet. Save the screws for re-use. Unplug the white electrical connector. Remove the chas- sis wire (if equipped) from the back of the stan- dard or option panel. Discard the old panel or save for future use.

3.Tilt the new option panel away from the front opening of the Control Box cabinet and plug the white electrical connector into the proper connec- tor on the right side of the main printed circuit board (10 pin) until the connector latches into place. Attach the chassis wire (if equipped) to the back of the new panel.

4.Slide the new panel through the opening, taking care not to damage the connections and the print- ed circuit board on the back.

5.Align the screw holes. Replace the two screws and tighten.
