4. Operating the Footswitch

Once connected and configured, operate the NMP-2 as follows:

• LATCH režimas: When the Mode Switch is set to LATCH, pressing Foot Switch A or B will toggle its state (on/off). The corresponding indicator light will alternately light or go out with each press. This mode is suitable for functions that require a persistent on/off state.
• MOMENTARY (OPEN) Mode: When the Mode Switch is set to OPEN, the Tip and Sleeve of the connected mono cable are opened only while the footswitch is held down. The indicator light will remain lit only while the switch is pressed. This mode is useful for functions that activate only for the duration of the press.
• MOMENTARY (CLOSE) Mode: When the Mode Switch is set to CLOSE, the Tip and Sleeve of the connected mono cable are closed only while the footswitch is held down. The indicator light will remain lit only while the switch is pressed. This mode is also for functions that activate only for the duration of the press, but with an inverse electrical behavior compared to OPEN mode.

Always refer to the manual of your connected device to determine the correct footswitch mode (Latch, Open, or Close) required for its specific functions.
