Operating Directions The operation of this product contains two modes; "Signal-Tower Mode" and "Smart Mode".The explanation for each mode shows fairly significant differences to them. Changing between the Signal-Tower mode and the "Smart Mode" is a simple ON/OFF in the "Mode Change". Mode Switch ON: Smart Mode Mode Switch OFF: Signal Tower Mode Although a fundamental level hold controls the inputs, only a trigger input in the pulse trigger type for the smart mode turns into a one shot input.The "Mode Switch" can also be used for the recombination of colors, changing the amount of Alarm sounds, and product initialization sequences. 5.1. Signal-Tower Mode The Signal Tower Mode controls operation with ON/OFF inputs from the wires currently assigned to each LED and Alarm, like our conventional Signal Towers.When short-circuiting each input to the "Flashing/Pulse Enable Common", The LED will flash, and an intermittent Alarm sound will occur. The Signal Tower Mode set up can be done in our REVOLITE EDITOR (Free download from our company's Homepage). The set up This type can be set up as shown in the following table. Setting Index LED Lighting/flashing Description Flashing rates are selectable from 30 times per minute, 60 times per minute, or 120 times per minute. Alarm Tone Alarm Silence or one tone can be selected from 11 kinds. LED Color LED lights On or Off can be selected.

Smart Mode There are three kind of modes, "Time-trigger Type", "Pulse Trigger Type", and "Single-display Type". The factory default input is the time trigger type, but there is a pulse trigger type and single display type,of which each type can be changed by the setup, which means it is necessary to create the setup data and transmit it to the product with a personal computer which has the REVOLITE EDITOR (Free download from our company Homepage) installed in it. (Refer to "7. Changing Data" for details on how to change the data) For details, please refer to the software help section. The main mode has common functions for each type and has the following at this mode. Input 6 (mute input) The Alarm sound stops when an "ON" input occurs, and muffles the sound. Input 7 (clear input) If an input for each type is set to ON, the pattern contents which are controlling the operation will be initialized and it will return to the first pattern.Also, LED's from all the tiers will go out at an "ON" input, and the Alarm is also muffled. Refer to each type to for the explanation of how they should look. LA6-W18B-14/28 Time-trigger Type The Time Trigger function has 63 set patterns to which the memory contains two or more patterns used as a series of wave-like flows, etc. that can be used in groups.The time trigger operates in accordance with time, and the pattern transition timing operates during this group operation.In addition, the maximum memory of 15 groups can be set up in ON/OFF combinations, and a call is made to inputs 1-4. Moreover, the time trigger type for input 5 turns into a STOP input, and during the input, operates by either one of the following contents, and stops the time progress of the pattern changes. - STOP input of a pattern currently on display to change to a lighted state. - STOP input of a pattern currently on display to change to a flashing state. - STOP input of a special pattern currently on display to change to a lighted state. - STOP input of a special pattern currently on display to change to a flashing state. The setup to select these can be performed in the REVOLITE EDITOR (it is free download in our company HP). The set up This type can be set up as shown in the following table. Set up range Setting Index Description Display Repeats When even the last set-up pattern changes and display time is exceeded, it is either selected to return to the head pattern of the group, or is considered as the last pattern. Every Group Display Time Unit Every 1 second and every 0.1 seconds are selected for the display time in units, to be set up for each pattern. STOP Input A STOP input can be selected for four operations when turned "ON". Operation Display Time Select the time until a pattern changes to the next pattern. LED Lighting/flashing Select all LEDs to turn on or flash. Every Flashing rates are selectable from 30 times per minute, 60 times per Pattern minute, or 120 times per minute. Every Alarm Tone Alarm Silence or one tone can be selected from 11 kinds. LED Color LED lights On or Off can be selected.
