Gym Command II System . . . a KEYLESS programmable operating system for gyms
The Gym Command System II consists of a Base Command Unit and a remote relay box. The system
is customized to the customer's specifications. It can be programmed for any combination of gym
components.
The Base Command Unit is a totally programmable controller with a menu driven graphics display. The
unit mounts in a NEMA 1 6" x 6" x 4" enclosure (by others). Multiple Base Command units can be
used.
By adding relay boxes the system can control up to 256 combinations of gym components including
basketball backstops, height adjusters, gym curtains and batting cages. Use the SCROLL LEFT and
SCROLL RIGHT function keys to review the gym component categories. The code number for each
item can be entered and operated in its specific category.
The system has a four digit access code. Two access codes are programmed at the factory. The
system goes into a sleep mode when not in use after 30 seconds. A system back up battery prevents
loss of the functions stored.
