GREEN LED PULSE PATTERN

Prior to learning how to change the configuration of the LCD–8, it is first nec-

essary to understand how the device communicates with the user; see Table 1. As

there is no display on the unit, the only means of communicating with the device is

to carefully observe the pulse pattern of the green LED.

LCD-8 Magnetic Reed Switch

The LCD-8 uses an internal magnetic reed switch (Figure 4), where the user

swipes a magnet (Figure 5) externally across this switch (Figure 6) to start a hold-

on cycle or to terminate a running hold-on cycle. The magnetic switch determines

whether the user’s action “swipes” or “holds” the magnet during LCD-8 configuration.
