MANUAL LUNCH AND BREAKS
(Bell Ringer)
This function provides a means of programming set lunch and
break lengths which can be initiated at various times during the
day. It is only available when the unit is used as a Bell Ringer
and operating on AC power. Pressing the START LUNCH or
START BREAK key at the keypad (or a remote momentary
switch connected to the unit) causes the bells to signal and a
displayed timer to begin counting down the programmed lunch or
break time. When the timer counts to zero, the bells
automatically signal again to indicate the end of lunch or break.
This feature is especially convenient for facilities which are
serviced by a lunch truck. When the truck arrives on site, simply
press the remote lunch switch to begin the lunch break. This
function also allows a warning bell to ring before the final lunch
or break bell.
To program a lunch, unlock the keypad then press the PRGM
LUNCH key. Use the forward keys to program the desired lunch
length, 00 to 99 minutes. Press the PRGM LUNCH key a
second time to display the length of time (0 to 9 minutes) a
warning bell will ring before the ending bell rings. The default is
0. Use the forward keys to change this value. Press the RUN
key to return to the normal display. Program breaks in the same
method.
Scheduled bells are inhibited during lunch and break periods. If
the schedule is turned off or the MANUAL key pressed while a
lunch or break period is in progress, the remaining lunch or
break time will be canceled. If the wrong key was pressed,
LUNCH instead of BREAK or BREAK instead of LUNCH, simply
press the correct key before the programmed time has expired.
The bells will not ring again and the time already elapsed will be
applied towards the programmed time for the break or lunch. To
review the programmed times without unlocking the keypad,
simply press the PRGM LUNCH or PRGM BREAK key. The
normal display will return after 5 seconds or when the RUN key
is pressed.
