The TEF 4900 Commander Navigation system consists of a custom-
built, backlit control panel, featuring application-specific buttons

for various navigation- and signal lights, plus standard buttons for
system on/standby, backlight intensity adjustment, and alarm silence/
acknowledge. In addition to the panel, the system consists of a main
processor with the application-specific functionality, and several REMOTE CONTROL CAPABILITIES
output modules.
The TEF 4900 Commander Navigation offers the following functions The TEF 4900 Commander Navigation interfaces with external
