UNIT TO UNIT COPY COMPLETION
During the UNIT to UNIT COPY, the Control Unit will BLINK the “COPY” digits one at a
time to indicate that the COPY is in progress.
After the COPY has been completed, the Control Unit will display “FINISHED” on the
alphanumeric display of both SEND and RECEIVE units. The “FUNCTION LED” will be lit,
allowing the user to select any of the ten PLS-601 functions.
NOTE: The SEND unit may display “FINISHED” even though a successful COPY has not
occurred. The true indicator of a successful COPY is when the RECEIVE UNIT displays
“FINISHED”.
ERROR CONDITIONS

‘RECEIVE LINE ERR’, and lighting the FUNCTION LED.
