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.
