In the LOCAL operations Mode, the controller responds to the Knob Velocity 
Adjustment commands. Using the Knob the Actuator may be jogged in Forward 
or Reverse directions. As the Knob position turns in one direction the jog 
velocity will increase in that direction. There are seven jog speed settings for 
either direction of the Knob. The Knob is spring loaded and the resting position 
corresponds to zero speed. 
Also, the Knob is equipped with a push button that is used for changing the 
Operations Mode. By pressing this switch, the mode of operation changes 
between REMOTE (power up default) and LOCAL mode. This switch is also 
used for “Homing” the actuator. When this push button is pressed for longer than 
5 seconds the Controller will initiate the Homing process, in which the actuator 
will move toward the Hard limit (Negative direction) and home (Zero Position) 
before the Negative Hard Limit. 
On the back, the Parameter Reset Button is used for restoring factory default 
Controller Address. The Controller Address is the number that the Computer 
software will use to communicate with a particular Controller on the RS485 bus. 
The factory default Controller Address is 0. 
Below the Knob there are two side-by-side push buttons that are disabled for this 
version of the product.
