INSTALLATION SETTINGS

Contact Closure Triggers

- Contact closure trigger inputs provide for two independent

chime triggers. When triggered, the selectable trigger tone, assigned delay and chime are
executed. 

3V-30V Voltage Triggers

- Voltage trigger inputs provide for two independent chime trig-

gers. When triggered, the selectable trigger tone, assigned delay and chime are executed.

Note: Voltage triggers are not polarity dependent. 

Chime and Audio Level Adjustments

- Adjustable output level for the selected chime

and the connected paging system. 

Note

: The Audio Level Adjustment does not affect an audio input signal that is being

recorded for a Custom Chime. The Custom Chime record level must be adjusted exter-
nal at the audio source.  

Important

: Lowering the chime and audio level will prevent sound distortion.

Setting the Tone/Delay

- Four DIP switches provide a selectable trigger tone and various

delays between when a chime is triggered and when the chime is actually generated.

Turning switch 1 ON enables a trigger tone that activates the audio sensing of the Paging
Input of a Niles MultiZone System. Switches 2, 3 and 4 ON enable delay times. The delay
time provided for each switch is indicated in the table below.

Delay times are summed together when multiple switches are
selected (e.g. 2 and 3 = 3 seconds). There is no delay included
if none of these DIP switches are selected. 

Notes

1

. The chime contact and voltage triggers are ignored

during a chime. 

2

. A triggered chime is delayed 8 seconds after

the completion of a chime when a trigger tone or any amount of
delay is selected.
