The flash pattern is set for each block by specifying the number or letter associated with the desired
flash pattern. Using this technique it is possible to define simple or complex flash patterns that you can
use to identify an active object at a glance from across the room.
On Time and Off Time control the backlight on and backlight off duration for each of the 32 steps in the
Flash Pattern. On Time and Off Time are specified in 10 millisecond increments, e.g., an On Time of 50
means the light will come on for 500 milliseconds (or one half second) for each Flash Pattern step
where the light is set to come on.
There are many different possible Flash Patterns possible with this feature. Here are just a few that
you can use to get started:
Flash Pattern: 55555555, On Time: 50, Off Time: 50
These are the default values for Flash Pattern, On Time and Off Time. The “off/on/off/on” pattern
defined by Pattern 5 is used in all eight steps. When the object is active, the LED backlight (or Alert
LED) will flash on and off at a rate of one flash per second, with each flash lasting half a second.
Flash Pattern: 88888888, On Time: 50, Off Time: 50
This combination causes the LED backlight (or Alert LED) to come on for a half second every two
seconds.
Flash Pattern: A8A8A8A8, On Time: 1, Off Time: 5
This combination creates an interesting “strobe light” effect similar to the emergency lights on a public
safety vehicle.
To set On Time and Off Time, use  and  to scroll to On Time or Off Time, then press  to set the
value. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the value for On Time and Off Time.
