Internal Calendar (standard on R829-G, optional on other systems)
The R829-G is equipped with an internal calendar that is programmed via USB to automatically activate and
deactivate school zone flashers on a user-defined schedule of up to 512 days. The calendar is programmed using
an intuitive Microsoft Windows-based graphical user interface. Once the program is established for one system,
the settings can be uploaded to other R829-G units onsite with a laptop PC. A USB cable is part of the School
Zone Programming Kit and is provided coiled up inside the R829-G cabinet.
Eight different day schedule types can be defined (including OFF all day). Each day type can be configured for up
to eight ON periods of adjustable duration. Refer to the support document “R829 School Zone Calendar
Configuration Instructions” for additional information and complete programming instructions.
