1. DMX - A DMX contrtoller takes priority control over both the product’s digital control panel and the HC-T.
2. Digital control panel - The control panel will only take priority control over the HC-T.
3. HC-T remote controller - The HC-T has the lowest priority control level.
Examples:
• If using the digital control panel and afterwards you connect a DMX controller to the product, then the DMX controller will take priority control.
• If using the remote controller and the digital control panel is used next, then the digital control panel will take priority control.
Indicator LEDs show the status of the fill tank, as follows:
