B. Control Panels
NV9606
• A menu, to view software versions, test buttons, and LEDs, change panel ID, and change button
illumination.
• In a multiple panel configuration, a
Force Release
of a locked or protected device can be config-
ured for each NV9605. However, note that Release and Force Release are mutually exclusive
on the same control panel.
The NV9605 panel uses buttons having both green and amber LEDs. Each button has dual color
capability, and each provides three levels of tally: off, dim, and bright. Green represents sources;
amber represents destinations. A breakaway’s primary level is indicated by an amber button; other
breakaway levels are indicated by green buttons.
The NV9605 panel has a rear connector that provides 4 relay outputs and 8 optically isolated
inputs. See
Defining General Purpose I/O (GPIO) Connections on page 337 for more information.
Panel Limitations
There are four functions the NV9605 does not perform: source locks, source protects, and local sal-
vos.
• Source Locks and Protects. Source locks and protects are not indicated on the NV9605 panel,
nor can the user initiate these modes. The panel supports only “destination” locks and protects.
• Local Salvos. The NV9605 control panel can run only system salvos. “Local” salvos (such as
those created on the NV9601 panel) are not supported. The user cannot create them.
• Category selection. The NV9605 does not have category buttons or numeric buttons.
NV9606
The NV9606 is a multi-mode 1RU control panel:
See NV9606 on page 268 for information regarding the ‘NV9606’ configuration page. The panel is
organized as two sets of 34 buttons that can each be assigned functions, sources, or destinations.
(There is no display.)
Modes of Operation
The NV9606 panel can be configured as either a stand-alone panel (single destination, or limited X-
Y), or as an expansion panel for the NV9607 Multi-Mode Control Panel. The NV9606’s specific
mode cannot be changed at the panel itself. The modes of operation are:
• Single Destination Mode. The panel’s single destination is assigned in the configuration file,
and “takes” are performed on all levels.
• Limited X-Y Mode. When the NV9606 is configured as a “limited” X-Y panel, status is pro-
vided for one destination at a time. That means that the button with the source routed to the
selected destination will go high tally.
