5. Operational Overview
Power-up Sequence:
Upon power up, the controller checks the position of the Mode Select Switch. The switch position has to match
the logic board/switches connected. The “High res” position will work only for LCD 64x32 switches/displays
while the “Standard res” position will work only for LCD 36x24 switches/displays.
Note: Setting the switch to a different setting than the Logic Board type may damage the assembly.
LED Brightness Adjustment Mode:
The controller will then allow the backlight brightness to be adjusted. Press the left hand switch to make both
LED modules dimmer. Press the right hand switch to make both LED modules brighter.
Main Operational Mode:
After a few seconds of user inactivity the controller will move into the main operations mode where the switch
on the left displays the image at the user’s first preset address. The right hand switch will display the image at
the user’s second preset address. The controller will then respond to a switch actuation or a timer expiration as
set by the user preset attributes.
Addresses:
A one byte value ranging from 01H to FFH representing the 255 memory.
Attribute Block for 64x32 Resolution Switches
A block of 8 bytes.
