CP 3810 Expansion Panel Operation
The CP 3810 panel can be associated with a CP 3832, CP 3864, CP 3808, or CP 3830 Main panel, providing control of up
to 80 outputs. The CP 3810 can be configured as a “CP 3810L,” allowing it to be assigned to one output; this provides break-
away (split) switching and/or multi−level status. Alternatively, it can be configured as a “CP 3810S,” meaning that the se-
lected outputs will remain selected until explicitly changed by the operator.
The CP 3810 can also be used as a limited−function machine control panel, providing Play and Stop commands for VTRs.
Figure 6−156 illustrates a CP 3810 with a CP 3832 panel.
Note: Even when associated with a CP 3810, the Main panel is still configured independently and can be operated
independently.
