Quiet Time
The iNS2 PBS has a feature to easily allow the button to become quieter at a specified time of day. This is useful, for
example, when a residential street experiences a lot of traffic during the day, but very little in the evening. In this scenario,
it may be useful to have the iNS2 PBS set loud enough to be heard over traffic during the day, but be nearly inaudible in
the evening hours, as not to disturb residents living nearby. Quiet Time allows for a reduction in volume between a
specified time interval, within a 24-hour day.
The details of the
feature’s operation is such that if the current time of day falls between the selected start and end time of
the Quiet Time period, then all Minimum and Maximum volume settings will be reduced by the specified reduction amount.
Note:
The “Minimum” volume setting can be reduced down to 0%, but the “Maximum” volume setting will only be reduced
down to 25%. This follows what is settable in the configuration parameters or settings screen.
The table shows what the effective volume settings
would be with the Quiet Time set to reduce the volume
by 30%. With the values set as shown in the
screenshots, between the hours of 9:00am and
7:59pm, the volume will be as set configured in
settings (shown in the “set value” column). At 8:00pm
to 8:59am the following morning, the volumes will be
reduced as show
n in the “reduced value” column:
From the PBS Configuration Menu, select Quiet Time.
Enter the desired settings, select the 3 dots at the top
right of the screen, then select the desired Save
option.
