For further practice setting up time-of-day functions, refer to Appendix G:
Time-Of-Day Function Tutorial (Page 114).
When ready to begin final setup of time-of-day functions, use the worksheets
in Appendix H (See Page 117.) plan the exact codes to be entered for each
time-of-day function parameter. Careful planning will make this process
faster and easier. Use the same worksheets to keep a permanent written
record of time-of-day function programming.
Setting Up Mute Functions
The VRC2000 has 40 mute-function entries. Mute functions will disable all
alarms and automatic commands associated with any status channel or
metering channel. Mute functions can activated by any status channel. A
mute function will disable itself when the status channel that is programmed
to control the mute function changes back to its original state.
Mute functions can be very helpful in broadcast applications where
circumstances require changing transmitters. With the mute functions, those
alarms that do not apply to the new transmitter can be muted or disarmed.
The default setting (in braces { }) for each mute function entry is disabled.
Programming mute functions is similar to setting up time-of-day functions.
Please read this section and experiment with setting up several mute
functions before deciding on final VRC2000 programming.
First, access a particular mute-function entry’s set-up information. The
VRC2000 will list the options and functions available for each parameter,
giving a preprogrammed message, followed by the default parameter,
followed by a [BEEP]. Any default parameters can be changesd when setting
up the VRC2000.
You enter
☎ “4 0 1 *”
The VRC2000 will respond:
• STATUS CHANNEL NUMBER FOR DISARM ONE IS ... {DISABLED}
DEFAULT MUTE FUNCTION NOTE:
As shipped from the factory, all VRC2000 mut functions are disabled.
Enter a “#” after the code for the selected mute function to enable that mute
function. The “#” entry also allows the selected mute function’s parameters
to be programmed. Entering a “*” symbol disables the selected mute
function.
The 40 mute-function entries are accessed with the codes listed in Table 11
(next page, top).
