• Setup Parameters This mode has parameters that can be set up as shown in the following table. Setup Range Every Group Every Pattern Every Tier Setting Index Description Display Repeats When even the last set-up pattern changes and display time is exceeded, it is either selected to return to the head pattern of the group, or is considered as the last pattern. Display Time Unit Every 1 second and every 0.1 seconds are selected for the display time in units, to be set up for each pattern.
• “Time-trigger” mode Operation Example The following are examples of the “Time-trigger” mode operation. In addition to time progress and pattern changes, the figure also shows the “Mute” input operation.

5.3. Multi-function Button Operation This product contains a multi-function button (“3. Part Names and Dimensions”) under the Head Cover in the upper section, which can be operated as follows: : Four adjustable steps. - Alarm Sound Control - LED Color Change : The luminescence color of each tier can be changed. : The current version of the product can be checked. - Version Confirmation - Product Initialization : The memory contents of the product can be cleared and returned to factory default values.
5.3.2. LED Color Change/Version Confirmation When all LED tiers flash a green color, the “LED Color Change/Version Confirmation” can be selected while it is in that status. As shown in the following figure, when the Multiple-function Button is pushed for about 0.5 seconds, 3 different selections: the “LED Color Change”; “Version Confirmation”; and returning to “Signal Tower” mode, can be selected.
To change the LED color to a different preference, by pushing the Multiple-function for about 3 seconds, the expected color status that is on (such as the 1st LED tier color) can change to the next LED tier color (such as the 2nd LED tier color) by selecting the desired lighted state. Once the last LED tier color is changed and the Multiple-function Button is pushed about another 3 seconds, all LED color changes are complete. Push Button About 3 sec. Push Button About 0.5 sec. Push Button About 0.5 sec.
For a detailed verification of the current version, the “EDITOR for LA series” software application can be used to check from the PC. If there is no personal computer, etc., available in its environment, contact your nearest Patlite Sales Representative and tell them the status of LED tiers displayed to determine the current firmware version.
