USAGE INFORMATION

The GUARD KEY button is use in conjunction with IO key objects, to provide a level of protection against accidental activation of a system function. This is particularly important for hydraulic functions, where accidental activation could be dangerous.

When the button is activated, guard status will remain active for the defined delay time, after which the guard status will be cleared. IO keys that are regulated by the guard function will only operate when the guard status is active.
