6Modes of ControlThe PowerLink control unit offers six modes of appliance control: Direct, Count, Two-Switch, TimedSeconds, Timed Minutes, and Latch. Press the “Mode” button repeatedly to cycle through themodes of control.Some modes use the Display Counter to convey information. These modes, and the display’s func-tion are identified with this symbol: . .DirectThe Direct mode keeps the appliance(s) on only while the switch is activated.Once released, the appliance(s) will turn off.CountCount mode behaves like Direct mode, showing the number of activations on theDisplay Counter.When used with two switches, the Display Counter will reflect whichever sidewas most recently activated. To view either side’s number of activations, press thecorresponding Status button.Press and Release the Left and Right buttons simultaneously to reset the counterback to 00.Two-SwitchTwo-Switch mode requires two simultaneous switch activations to turn anappliance on. When activated, all attached appliances will activate in Directmode.Two switches must be attached or linked to use this mode.Timed SecondsThe Timed Seconds mode allows the appliance to run for a preset amount of time,from 1 to 99 seconds, with a single activation.Set the desired number of seconds with the Up and Down arrows. (Press and Holdto quickly move through the numbers.) The Display Counter will show the time setand, once a switch is activated, count down to one. Press the Up or Down arrowduring activation to adjust the amount of time remaining.If a second switch is activated the Display will reflect that side’s remainingtime. Press either Status button to view the time remaining for that side.Note: If you do not want to wait for the set time to expire, press the Mode buttonto select any other mode of control, attached appliances will shut off.Timed MinutesThis mode behaves exactly like the Timed Seconds mode, but using minutesrather than seconds.LatchOne activation of a switch turns the corresponding appliance on; the secondactivation turns it off. Use the Latch mode when you want an appliance (such as alamp) to remain on indefinitely.English
