General Information

The new generation clocks can store and operate up to 50 individual bell schedules.  Each scheduled bell will have a specific time of day, and can be triggered to occur on any day(s) of the week.  Individual Bells can be temporarily disabled without removing them by setting their "Status" to "Off".


When using an External (Relay Controlled) bell, you will connect the relay two trigger wires to the relay port of the clock.  Specifically, COM and either NC or NO, depending on the needs of your particular relay controller.  COM is the Common Connection, NC is the Normally Closed connection and NO is the Normally Open connection.  


When the External relay port is NOT activated, NC will have a CLOSED (Connected) circuit with COM, and NO will have an OPEN (Disconnected) circuit with COM.


When the External relay is is activated by the bell schedule, the circuit states will reverse for the duration of the bell - This means that the NC will have an OPEN (Disconnected) circuit with COM and NO will have a CLOSED (connected) circuit with COM.


Inactive:

NC<->COM / NO

Active:

NC / COM<->NO



If you are using the Menu to configure for Bells, navigate to Personalize, then select Bell Schedules.


Use New Bell Schedule to create a new Bell Schedule - It's number will be the first available from 1 to 50


Use All Bell Schedules, then select a specific bell schedule to edit or delete it. 


Bell parameters: (When creating or editing a Bell)

  • Bell Status: On / Off
    When "Off", this bell will not occur at it's scheduled time
  • Bell Time: <Time Selector>
    Specify a Time of Day for this Bell to occur
  • Repeat: <weekdays>
    Select which days of the week this bell will be active
  • Bell Type:
    Select between Internal (Wave File), External (Relay) or Both
  • Ring Tone: <wave file>
    ** Option is missing when Bell Type = "External"
    Select the Wave File to play if Bell Type is Internal or Both
  • Internal Bell Delay(s): <number>
    ** Option is missing when Bell Type = "External"
    How long, in seconds, the Wave File will play
  • External Bell Delay(s): <number>
    ** Option is missing when Bell Type = "Internal"
    How long, in seconds, the Relay contact will be activated

Options: (Specify external relay)

Use this area to specify which, if any, External Relay is enabled for Bells.  For Series 15, there is only one relay connection, which is NC2.  Series 800 has 2 relay connection options, NC1 and NC2

PUSH Parameters - Remote Manage of Bell Schedules


Add Bell Schedules

Set Clock Option:

Name:

CMD DATA

Value:

UPDATE BELL BellID=%d\tTime=%s\tMusicID=%d\tVolume=%d\tTimes=%d\tstate=%d\tSUN=%d\tMON=%d\tTUE=%d\tWED=%d\tTHU=%d\tFRI=%d\tSAT=%dBellType=%d\tBellLifeTime=%d

Parameters:

  • BellID:  Id of Bell to be added (Numeric Value, I.E. 14). 
  • Time:  What time of day bell should ring is decided from this value. Time should be sent in 24 hour format. (I.E. 21:15).
  • MusicID: Value of this parameter can be 0-9. Each value represents unique wav file which is played from
    device when bell triggers.
  • Volume:   Value of this parameter can be 0-99. Higher number, intensity of volume is increased. Default value of
    this parameter is 67.
  • Times:  Number of times to play the bell (Applies to the MusicID Wav File) 
  • State:   Value of this parameter can be 0 or 1. Value 0 disables the Bell while Value 1 enables the Bell.
  • Day:  Value of SUN, MON….SAT can be either 0 or 1. 0 does not play specific Bell on Specific day while 1
    activates the bell on the particular day.
    BellType: Value of BellType can be 0, 1 or 2. 0: Internal bell(DEFAULT), 1:external bell, 2 :internal and
    external bell.
  • BellLifeTime:  The life time of the effectiveness of the bell. The parameter ranges from 0-255
    (?? Perhaps the number of seconds for the bell ??)

Example:

Name:

CMD DATA

Value:

UPDATE BELL BellID=1\tTime=06:55\tMusicID=0\tVolume=67\tTimes=1\tstate=1\tSUN=0\tMON=1\tTUE=1\tWED=1\tTHU=1\tFRI=1\tSAT=0\tBellType=2\tBellLifeTime=5


This example sets a bell to occur at 6:55, Monday through Friday. The clock will perform a single chirp and the relay port will activate for 5 seconds.
