The emergency stop button remains active. Compressor start/stop commands via
function Timers are still possible, if programmed and activated. It also remains possible
to call up data and to program the regulator. Consult Atlas Copco before connecting
external equipment to the regulator. Maintained-action buttons must not be used for the
remote start and stop functions.

The regulator will only react on start/stop and manual load/unload commands generated
by computer. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.
To avoid unauthorized switching over to another compressor control mode, take out the key

The regulator will only react on a new control mode if the new position of the key switch is
maintained for 3 seconds.
