will not advance to the right, and instead, the SENSOR ENABLE LED will blink 3 times, then
retain its current state, which would be OFF.
5. Press and immediately release PGM/PROGRAM SELECT (w/o beep) to recall the currently
selected LED item. Associated LED will blink 3 times and return to currently programmed
state.
6. DISCRIMINATING SENSOR mode is selected via dip switches on the back of the display
board. See FRONT PANEL SENSOR PROGRAMMING table below. IMPORTANT! Dip
switch programming of DISCRIMINATING SENSOR enables will not take affect until an EDIT
SAVE operation is performed. Also, programming DISCRIMINATING SENSOR enables via
dip switches must be enabled in the LC2000 configuration file (Factory Default).
7. Edits are saved by pressing EDIT ENABLE/SAVE button.
8. PRINT generates a SENSOR CONFIGURATION Report.
