Using the Obelisk card Programmer (if supplied).
Overview :
The OBELISK top2 programmer
allows you to store, recall, back up
and easily program your bell timer
using a computer screen interface.
Many people find this easier than
using the menu driven program on
the timer itself as it displays the
complete weekly program on one
screen. This option is recommended
for schools that change their bell times regularly or need this
flexibility.
The programmer comes with an extra OBELISK card. Many
schools use this to establish a “summer” and “winter” set of
times, program one card with each and then simply load the
relevant times into the timer as the seasons change.
On the next page is an example of the Theben software
screen showing bell times programmed into Channel 1.
Using the OBELISK storage card
The OBELISK card is used to transfer programs from
the USB computer programmer to the timer (see next
page).
It is also used for back up storage of times in the event
that something goes wrong with the timer settings and
the times need to be restored to their previous settings.
When your install contractor initially programmed your timer, a copy
of the initial program was saved on the obelisk card. Even if you
don’t use or even have an Obelisk computer programmer (which is
an option some schools don’t choose) you can still use the Obelisk
card supplied with your timer to restore settings. This is especially
useful if you have attempted to make changes to the timer and made
a mistake and now don’t know where the mistake is.
The Obelisk card is stored in the lid of the timer. It only goes into the
slot one way. Be GENTLE inserting the card. Do NOT force the card
into the slot. If it refuses to plug in, gently move it around up and
down until it plugs in securely to the slot.

PERFORMING A GLOBAL RESET
A Global reset is recommended if the timer has failed or there is
an unknown faulty time or mode programmed into the timer
caused by unauthorised persons mucking about with it.
A Global reset should be performed if there have been any
reports of the timer being triggered “out of hours” (eg. At night or
on weekends or bells / music running for long periods, etc).
A Global Reset will erase ALL settings AND the current time
and date and set the timer back to it’s initial factory settings.
1.) Press down and hold ALL FOUR BUTTONS on the
front of the unit SIMULTANEOUSLY for 3 seconds.

Australia as the timer follows Northern Hemisphere daylight
savings rules which are the reverse of those used in Australia.
