XL8 Control Centre
Operator Manual
Chapter 10:Advanced Operation
This chapter details the advanced operating procedures for the XL8 Control Centre.
Please note that this chapter does not describe every operation, as some are very
simple and can be completed, for example, just by the press of a button. In such cases
the information you are looking for will probably be found in the bay description
chapters, that is, Chapter 4 “Input Bays”, Chapter 5 “Mix Bay” and Chapter 6 “Output
Bay”.
