set. On the subsequent hours the hourly gong is
added on accordingly.
After start up the movement synchronises itself for
the first time on passing the one o’clock position,
after which the hourly chimes are sounded in the
correct number.
Here it should be noted that initial synchronisation
following start up corresponds to the one o’clock
position.
When switching the melody from Westminster to
Bim-Bam gong or vice versa the requested signal
is sounded at the
next full hour.
If the melody is switched off during the course of a
melody being played, the melody being played is
not interrupted.
Night setback
In addition, the movement also has a night setback
function in which the melody is played at reduced
volume.
Where night setback is activated the melody is
played at reduced volume between 22.15 and 6.45.
