Graphi-Q Contact Closure
All Graphi-Qs include a back panel mounted contact closure connector which can be used for remotely changing the stored presets. This male 8-pin Phoenix connector is labeled 1-7 with the last pin marked as C for common. The female connector comes as an accessory in every Graphi-Q.
 
Accessing the first seven presets is simply a matter of connecting the common with one of the 7 pins. Accessing the rest of the presets involves using set combinations of the pins to achieve a total of 68 possible presets.
