5.5.1 Setting the clock

5.0 Using FreeSpace® Installer™ Software

5.5.1 Setting the clock

The date and time of the hardware clock is initially set in Eastern Standard Time. After your PC is connected to the hardware, check the clock and set it as necessary for the time zone and region of your installation.

To adjust the clock settings manually, click the Set Clock button in the clock panel. The Clock Settings window opens, allowing you to make adjustments to the date and time. Click Apply or OK to set the clock in the hardware, or click Cancel to close the win- dow and leave the clock settings unchanged.

5.5.2 Adding events

When you click the On/Off, Volume, Source, or Auto Volume

event button, an event of that type is added to the event list. At this point you can change the event settings. When the event list exceeds the length of the pane, the software will add a scroll bar on the right side.

A maximum of 64 events may be added to a system. This means that the total number of events from all event lists must not exceed 64. An On-Off event consumes two events, while source change, volume change, and Auto Volume events consume one apiece. A counter is provided in the Schedule mode window to keep track of the number of remaining events.

Remaining events counter 5.5.2 Adding events

Zone events programmed to occur at the same time as a “Sys- tem ON” event will not occur. To ensure that zone events will hap- pen, they must be programmed to occur 15 minutes after the “System ON” event. For example, if a “System ON” event is pro- grammed to occur at 8:00 AM, the first zone event should be pro- grammed to occur at 8:15 AM.

Installer’s Note: Flashing the Installer software configura- tion file to the E4 unit sets the default state of the system when it is turned on. Whenever possible the default state of the system should be set to meet the requirements most likely to occur after a scheduled “System ON” event.

Adds a system Auto On/Off event

This event applies only to the whole system. You can select indi- vidual on or off times for the day(s) you choose. Or, you can select on and off times in a single statement.

Programmer’s Note: One Auto On/Off event specifies both an “On” time and an “Off” time and is counted as two events.

Adds a zone Mute event

This event allows you to mute/unmute the zone output at a specified time on selected days of the week.

Adds a zone Volume Change event

This event allows you to change the volume level at a specified time on selected days of the week.

Programmer’s Note: The maximum/minimum volume stops cannot be adjusted in this pane. To adjust these limit stops, select the Output Gain function in the Set Up Hard- ware mode.
