DAY/NIGHT MODE TOGGLE

This command sends a PA On command to all stations, puts the Model 26 in the Day

mode (PA On), and turns both LEDs on. If the button is pressed again, it returns the PA

systems to the Normal or Night mode (PA Normal), until the button is pressed again. The

system continues to poll the stations while in the Day mode, but the PA systems at the

stations are available to the dispatcher for making announcements simply by keying the

mic. Individual stations may be alerted, or have their PA systems turned off, but the

typical scenario leaves all PA systems on for all announcements during the day, and

returns the PA systems to normal operation at night.

Relay Buttons

Relay buttons represent commands for the general-purpose relays in a Model 6 (there are

four such relays in each Model 6, six additional relays may be added with the Optional

Relay Enhancement kit). The Model 6 does not return its relay status to the Model 26.

There are no corresponding relay buttons on the Model 6s. There are two types of relay

buttons.

The first type turns a particular relay on or off at a particular station. This type uses up a

button position on the Model 26, similar to the Alert or PA on buttons. Pressing this relay

button sends one of the following relay commands to its assigned relay.

RELAY ON - This Relay command turns on a relay at a Model 6.

RELAY OFF - This Relay command turns off a relay at a Model 6.

The second type is a system override button. When pressed, it turns ON or OFF

whichever relay is assigned to it at all of the stations. In actual operation, you press the

Relay N - ON/OFF system button followed by a specific station or unit button to indicate

which relay the operation is intended for.

If it is desired to show the current status of a relay at the Model 26, one set of contacts on

the relay should be wired to one of the sense inputs at the Model 6. The condition of this

sense input can then be displayed on the LEDs associated with the relay button at the

Model 26.

LEDs

There are LEDs on both the front and rear panels of the Model 26. The LEDs on the rear

panel are normally not visible to the dispatcher. They are for use by maintenance

personnel.
