NV9608
The 10 numeric/category buttons are arranged like a telephone keypad:
See the Control Panels on page 231 for information regarding SE’s NV9608 configuration
page. Note also that the NV9616 control panel is nearly identical to the NV9608, but it has 16
LCD button modules, not 8.
Modes of Operation
The panel operates in either an X-Y (single source/destination) mode or a multi-destination mode.
A function button (XY/MD) can toggle between the modes. The NV9608 can also be configured as
X-Y only, or multi-destination only.
The primary modes of operation are:
• X-Y Mode — full control of all router levels. Choose a destination, optionally choose desired
breakaway levels, choose a source, and press Take to complete a desired route. In this mode, the
LCD buttons function as a display and show status for up to 8 levels. The scroll buttons reveal
other “pages” of levels if there are more than 8.
• Multi-Destination Mode — lets you control multiple destinations. The panel displays up to 8
destinations at a time. You can scroll through 8-destination pages using the Page Up and Page
Down
buttons. Select a destination, choose a source, and repeat for all desired routes. Then
press Take.
Takes are “all level,” and breakaways cannot be performed. The “all level” take matches as
many of the destination levels as possible to the available source levels, using the destination’s
“primary” level as the reference. .
(UI2 presently allows only one page of 8 MD buttons.)
Secondary modes include:
• Salvo Mode — pressing a Salvo button places the NV9608 in “Salvo” mode. The LCD buttons
function as a display, showing the names of up to 8 salvos at a time. Additional salvos (if any)
are viewable by pressing the Page Up or Page Down buttons.
• Menu Mode — pressing a Menu button places the NV9608 in “menu” mode. The menu display
some status information and allows you to enter a panel ID and to control the LCD (and LED)
brightness.
In menu mode, the LCD buttons function as a display. Some buttons execute data entry func-
tions.
Note If breakaway takes are performed in X-Y mode, the destination status in
MD mode will be reverse text (on the LCD buttons).
Note The destination’s “primary” level is defined as the virtual level with the
lowest ID number
— as configured in the virtual level list.
