Buttons and LED Indicators
Buttons
The buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 allow testing the associated outputs by cycling their states.
For dimming outputs, it cycles between 0%, 50% and 100% with each press of the associated button.
For non-dimming outputs, it cycles between Off and On with each press of the associated button.
The STATUS button allows resetting the controller.
LED Indicators
The LED indicators 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 allow visualizing the current state of the associated output. When a LED indicator is Off the associated output is Off and On otherwise.
For dimming outputs, the LED indicators is Off when the associated output is at 0%, it is On otherwise.
For non-dimming outputs, the LED indicator is Off when the associated output is Off, it is On when the associated output is On.
The STATUS LED indicator shows the status of the controller. It is slowly blinking in normal operation and can also show the reset state.
