4.3.3 Joystick Operation: Speed Settings
In each of the four directions of motion, the joysticks can have up to five detent positions. For
example, there could be five detents in the forward direction, each of which could be associated to a
speed setting. A smaller number of detent positions can also be specified and set at the factory.
The time elapsed between a change from one speed to the next can be customized for your particular
application.
4.3.4 Joystick Operation: Rotary Switch Operation
The F22-J joystick type transmitter is supplied with four rotary switches labeled A, B, C, and D.
Rotary switches A and D are simple ON/OFF switches designed to control items like magnets and
lights.
The B and C switches are three-position switches normally used to switch between different
systems. For example, rotary switch B could control Hoist 1, Hoist 2, or both Hoist 1 and Hoist 2
simultaneously.
The table below summarizes the available switches and switch positions:
