Owner’s Manual | Model A704-5 Aviation Lighting System11© 2008 Carmanah Technologies CorporationLast revised: April 20084.3.2 Push Button OperationThe two types of button presses that will be accepted by the light as programming commands are:Hold: Pressing and holding the button down for several seconds cycles through the Model A704-5command levels (see Table 4-1: Overview of Command Levels and Modes). Eachcommand level is indicated by the number of flashes from the amber indicator LED; oneblink indicates the first level, two blinks indicates the second level, etc. The amber indicatorLED indicates acceptance of a command for a button hold by flashing one to five timesdepending on the command level. Once the desired command level has been reached,release the push button.Press: Pressing the button for a fraction of a second enters the command within that level. Thegreen indicator LED indicates acceptance of a button press by flashing the same number oftimes afterwards. The red indicator LED flashes three times if the command has not beenaccepted due to button lockout. You must press the push button within 10 seconds ofreleasing the hold, otherwise the light will exit the Programming Mode.Table 4-1: Overview of Command Levels and Modes illustrates the order of commands and modes forprogramming the Model A704-5. This table is followed by a description of the light’s operation in eachmode. Read this table from left to right.Table 4-1: Overview of Command Levels and ModesStep 1: Choose Command Level Step 2: Choose Command – Action (Response)Command Level1 press(1 GreenIndicator LEDFlash)2 presses(2 GreenIndicator LEDFlashes)3 presses(3 GreenIndicator LEDFlashes)4 presses(4 GreenIndicator LEDFlashes)5 presses(5 GreenIndicator LEDFlashes)(No AmberFlash) 0: Autonomous StandbyMode 2AutonomousLowAutonomousMedAutonomousHigh Flash Toggle(1 AmberFlash) 1: Temporary Temp Low Temp Med Temp High No action No action(2 AmberFlashes) 2: Ship Ship Mode Do Not Use3 Do Not Use4 No action No action(3 AmberFlashes) 3: Infrared InfraredToggle No action No action No action No action(4 AmberFlashes) 4: Diagnostics BatteryCheck UCS Status No action No action No action(5 AmberFlashes) 5: Configuration No action Button LockToggleTempTimeoutToggleNo action FactoryReset2 If the light is switched directly from Standby Mode to Autonomous mode, the light will remain off until the next time it detects a day-to-night transition. When this is done in low lighting conditions such as an office or warehouse, the light will NOT turn on becauseit considers it to be nighttime and is awaiting the next day-to-night transition before illuminating. If you would like to force the light toturn on in Autonomous mode to verify the light illuminates, place it in a Temporary mode first and then into an Autonomousmode. The light will now illuminate immediately in low lighting conditions.3 For engineering test purposes only. Use may result in unpredictable behavior of the light.4 For engineering test purposes only.
