Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Remote Switch Operation

Holding AUX while pressing ENR causes INFOnnation on the facility picked in the
SELect mode to be displayed in text form. Holding both keys for one second exits
INFO and returns to the map.
Holding AUX while pressing ARR places the Argus in the EMERgency mode. (Or
if in EMERgency, back in normal operation.)
Pressing AUX quickly three times or holding it for five seconds places the Argus in
the AMEND/FP menu. AMEND is exited by an AUX stroke.
Remote Switch Operation
In addition to the Argus front panel controls, there is provision for external switches
to be connected. They individually perform the same functions as AUX/DEP and,
AUX/ENR. They can also be used to enter alphanumeric data in waypoint and flight
planning operations. These switches may be installed on the aircraft panel or on the
control yoke. A major advantage of having them is that only one switch each need
be activated to SELect a facility for on-screen bearing or radial and distance data or
for tabular INFOnnation. On a crowded screen this can take a while, and can be even
more tricky in turbulence. Having individual switches to toggle, or a yoke-mounted
two-position switch, makes the job a lot easier.
If you do not have remote switches for the SELect and INFOnnation functions, they
can probably be installed fairly easily. See your avionics shop or installation agency
for details.
The "PUSH ON" knob is the
Argus' ON-OFF switch. Pushing
this control IN applies power to the
Argus. Rotating it adjusts the
brightness of the Argus CRT and
Argus 7000 Control Layout
backlit buttons. Brightness is
increased with clockwise rotation.
