C.7. Controlling external Bell (Ring)

The TR40xx features a built-in Bell relay that can be used to control an external Bell (see

Bell and Lock

control relays

). The TR40xx can be programmed to automatically activate the Bell relay at pre-determine

times of day. This is done through a

Bell table

The

Bell table

may consist of up to 32 time entries. Each entry specifies one time at which the Bell relay

will be activated.

Each time the Bell relay is triggered, it remains active for a period of time specified by the

Bell duration

Setting.

Editing Bell and Default Event tables

provides complete information on table editing techniques.
