6.2 Secondary Remotes
A Secondary Remote is a secondary user input device, for example an attendant
joystick. A Secondary Remote

Secondary Remote) to speed and direction signals, and
• sends the speed and direction signals as DX BUS messages to the Master
Remote via the DX BUS.
To use a Secondary Remote, select it as the
