DAYPARTING
DB2003 allows users to create a weekly schedule to control the power of the monitored device.
Not all series of monitored devices can be managed in this way. The functionality is available for
PTX_LCD, PTX_DDS, PTX_LCDDSP, TEX_LCD, Blues, Plug-in KPS-CA and Barracuda.
Two levels are set, called Low Power and Full Power. When there is an active Daypart, a command
is sent to control the power to Low Power. When there is no active Daypart, a command is sent to
control the power to Full Power.
There are 8 Dayparts selectors with identical parameters. It is possible to set overlapping values;
it is sufficient for one Daypart to be active to set Low Power.
To set values for Low Power and Full Power, the relevant value is in percent. The value in W
is calculated against the nominal power for the selected monitored device model. The Plug-in and
Barracuda series allow you to set Target Power up to 105%, while PTX, TEX and Blues – up to
100%.
When Dayparts are enabled, the setting of Forward Power is controlled by the DB2003 and the
relevant parameters are not available for telecontrol – Target Power for PTX, TEX and Blues, and
Selected Power for Plug-in: Nominal/Lower and the Nominal and Lower values. For the PTX, TEX
and Blues models, the DB2003 monitors and controls the Target Power parameter. For the Plug-in
models, respectively Nominal or Lower Power is selected via Selected Power, while at the same time
the values of the two levels must match the ones set in Dayparts. The DB2003 sends commands to
control the power but does not change the On-Air status.
For each Daypart, users must set the day of the week when it must be active. Selecting Never
disables the respective Daypart. Selecting Every Day ensures Daypart is active for the specified time
frame, regardless of the current day.
The active time frame is defined by its
Start time
and
Duration
.
