The box next to “run/alarm” lights up in the colour corresponding to the status of each platform.

The green “retract” LEDs light up when the sections of the corresponding platforms are retracted.

The green “extend” LEDs light up when the sections of the corresponding platforms are extended.

The green “locked” LEDs light up when the corresponding extensions are locked.

The green “inserted” LEDs light up when the corresponding extensions are inserted.

Softkey “BOTH”: Selects both platforms.

Softkeys “X-” and “X+”: Selects the corresponding platform.

Softkey “ON”: Only turns on the system if no interlocks are active.

Softkey “OFF”: Turns off the system.

Softkey “RESET ALARM”: Resets the system from its current alarm state or resets the interlock if one exists.

Softkey “EXTEND”: Extends the previously selected platform.

Softkey “RETRACT”: Retracts the previously selected platform.

Softkey “STOP”: Stops the movement.
