NV9603A
User’s Guide
• Destination.
The ‘Dest’ field shows the current destination.
The ‘Status’, ‘Preset’, and ‘Dest’ fields can show either names belonging to a name set or system
names depending on (1) the state of the ‘Name Set Toggle’ button (if the panel has one), (2) the
default name set (3) the existence of name sets in the NV9000 configuration.
Flags
When a destination is in breakaway, the ‘Source’ field indicates the breakaway with an asterisk in
its eighth character position.
 The asterisk will obscure the last character of the source name if the name has 8 characters.
Modes of Operation
The NV9603A operates in X-Y mode.
Additional but secondary modes of panel operation are:
• Salvo mode — pressing a salvo button places the NV9603A in salvo mode where the opera-
tor may select and execute a salvo from a salvo list.
• Setup mode — where the NV9603A is freshly powered up, but disconnected from the net-
work. In this mode, you can preset the NV9603A’s panel ID and perform a few diagnostic
tasks.
• Menu mode — pressing a menu button places the NV9603A in “menu” mode. In menu
mode, the buttons lose their normal functions and become part of a menu that changes as
needed during menu operation.
When the panel is not in setup mode or menu mode, we say it is in normal mode.
Other NV9603A Functions
The NV9603A can be configured to perform the following additional functions:
• Previous source and free source.
• System salvos.
• Lock/protect/release for destinations.
• Multiple-level breakaways.
• Broadcast data routing.
