SIGNAL ON/OFF

Pressing the SIGNAL ON/OFF key when the keypad is unlocked changes the On/Off status of the programmed schedule. When the status is ON, bells or controls will operate based on the schedule. When the status is OFF, the schedule is ignored and only the manual key will operate the bells or controls. The current On/Off status of controls will remain active until MANUAL is pressed or the schedule reactivated. Press RUN to return to the normal display. When the schedule is inactive, SCHEDULE OFF will be shown below the time on the display.

MANUAL OPERATION

Pressing the MANUAL key when the unit is being used as a Bell Ringer will cause the bells to signal for the length of time the key is pressed. This provides a means of operating the bells at unscheduled times. Pressing MANUAL while lunch or break is counting down will operate the bells and cause the remaining lunch or break time to be canceled.

Pressing the MANUAL key when the unit is operating as on On/Off Controller will toggle the current On/Off status of the controls.

The MANUAL key will not ring bells if the unit is operating on standby power.

STANDBY POWER

During AC power failures, the DWA-S switches to a quartz crystal time base to maintain the time keeping ability of the unit. A 6 volt battery allows the unit to continue operation and retain the programmed schedule for 10 days. An * on the lower line of the display indicates operation on Standby Power. Programming, schedule review, and manual toggling of the On/Off control status are available when operating on battery back up. If operating as a Bell Ringer, the MANUAL, START LUNCH, and START BREAK keys, and the remote START LUNCH and START BREAK switches are inactive during AC power failures. Schedule operation is also inactive when operating as a Bell Ringer.
