5. Operating Directions
This product contains a multi-function button (Refer to
”3.2. Part Names and Outer Appearance”
) under the Head Cover in the upper
section, which can be operated as follows:
- Alarm Sound Control: Adjustable up to four steps.
- LED Color Change: The luminescence color of each tier can be changed.
- Version Conrmation: The current version of the product can be checked.
- Product Initialization: The memory contents of the product can be cleared and returned to factory default values.
(Returns to the “Signal Tower” mode. The alarm sound pattern and the “Smart Mode” setup conditions have not changed.)
The operation of this product contains two modes; “Signal Tower” mode and “Smart Mode.” The explanation for each mode
shows fairly signicant dierences to them.
Changing between the “Signal Tower” mode and the “Smart Mode” is a simple ON/OFF input from the “Mode Change” signal
input wire.
Signal input “Mode Change” ON: Smart Mode
Signal input “Mode Change” OFF: “Signal Tower” mode
Although a continuous hold input controls the inputs, only a trigger input in the pulse trigger mode for the “Smart Mode”
turns into a one shot input. With the “Mode Change” in the OFF condition, the Multi-function button can be used for the
recombination of colors, changing the amount of alarm sounds, and other product functionalities.

our conventional Signal Towers. When short-circuiting each input to the “Flashing/Pulse Enable Common”, The LED will ash,
and an intermittent alarm sound will occur.
The “Signal Tower” mode set up can be done in our “EDITOR for LA series” software application (Visit our homepage at http://
