Easy Menu Display

The time clock can be easily set to match your local time zone. No matter where you are located, a simple page setup adjust the clock to suit your particular requirements. Automatic Daylight Saving is programmed to change at the correct time of day, and year so that you can keep your timed events schedule simple and uncluttered by 'clocks forward' and 'clocks backward' considerations.
Events which only happen once in a year can be easily programmed. A previous event can be simply deleted, or a new event added. Existing events can be scrolled through on the screen, and checked, or modified by deletion and replacement, as required. When editing is complete, merely press the 'Esc' button area, as with all screens, in order to return to the previous menu. Each edit activity is automatically saved into the memory system.
The Chime Controller 'Box of Tunes' can hold up to 39 tunes of different duration, allowing for simple chime sequences, or pre-programmed carillon peals, as specified to be included with the system. Total versatility of design allows you to play and record your own 'tunes' into the tune bank, whether they be old favorites or new compositions particularly written for your bells. Existing tunes can be auditioned at any time from this menu.
The Box of Tunes holds 15 tunes of 35 'event' length, and 24 of 420 'event' length. The short tunes are for strikes or preamble. The longer memory is for specific pieces of music that have more notes. Each note is two 'events', one 'on' and one 'off'. Held notes, or gaps between notes do not occupy any additional memory space, ensuring maximum efficiency of storage. The maximum allowed 'pause' in a tune is one and a half minutes.
Recording your own chime sequence is very easy. Select the tune bank to play your tune into. The system will tell you if that location already has a tune in it, giving you the option to record over it, or to return and select a different tune number location in which to record your melody. Each tune present in the tune bank is instantly accessible to all the programmed calendar events, in addition to the strike events. The same tunes can be used in multiple instances.
The timer calendar is programmed to the U.S.A. or U.K. Daylight Saving mode, effective until December 31st 2079. Clock accuracy is to a maximum of 1 second per month. Display backlight continuous use expectancy 5000 hours. Please note that all installations use a cover with an automatic backlight switch to disable the backlight when not in active use. This effects considerable life expectancy increase.
