The VRC2000 will respond with a double [BEEP].
Both switches for command channel 1 are now programmed to close for one
second and then release. The active-delay function applies in this example
because this command channel as momentary. The active-delay function
causes the switches to energize for a programmed length of time when
activated either manually or by automatic command.
When ready to begin final setup of command channels, use the worksheets in
Appendix H (See Page 117.) to plan the exact set-up information to be
entered for each parameter. Planning will make this process faster and
easier. Also, use the same worksheets to keep a permanent written record of
command-channel programming.
Give some thought to exactly how the command channels should interface
with site equipment. Experiment before settling on final programming and
interface scheme. At the same time, it is easy to change VRC2000
programming — setting parameters will not lock your site into a particular
configuration.
Setting Time-Of-Day Functions
Up to 64 time-of-day functions can be programmed into the VRC2000.
Time-of-day functions are based on a 24-hour clock, and can be used to
automatically activate any of the command channels’ 32 switches.
Time-of-day functions may be set to occur
• daily, at a specific time of day
• on a specific day of the year, at a specific time of day
• weekly, at a specific time of day
• every day, at a specific time of day for a particular month.
Typical uses for time-of-day functions in broadcast applications include
automatic power-level changes at dusk and dawn, and antenna pattern
changes.
All time-of-day functions are disabled when the VRC2000 is shipped from
the factory.
The programming steps for the time-of-day functions are simple; however,
read this section and experiment with setting up several time-of-day
functions before deciding on the final VRC2000 programming.
First, access set-up information about a particular time-of-day function for a
listing of the options and functions available for each time-of-day function.
For each parameter, the VRC2000 will respond with a preprogrammed
message, followed by the default parameter (in braces { }), followed by a
[BEEP]. Any default parameters can be changed when setting up the
VRC2000.
