Customising the Control Unit
20
Choosing standard settings
The 501/501V Control Unit provides six alternative standard
settings, called Types, which configure all aspects of the control
unit into the six most commonly needed configurations.
Choosing one of the six standard settings overrides any other
configuration you may have performed, and so can be used to
reset the configuration of the control unit.
By default, the control unit is supplied set to Type 1.
If you have a system containing only Meridian 500 Series units
then you should choose one of Types 5, 1, 4, or 3. These give
progressively larger numbers of inputs, as shown in the tables
on page 21 (501) or page 22 (501V).
If your system includes any Meridian 600 or 200 Series units you
should choose Type 2 or Type 6. For more information see To
connect to Meridian 600 or 200 Series equipment, page 38.
