OPTIMOD-FM INSTALLATION

Using Clock-Based Automation
1. If you have not already done so, set the system clock.
A) Navigate to System Setup, Place/Date/Time.
B) Navigate to Screen 1 to set the time and date.
a) Set the Clock Control to Internal or Line Sync.
Line sync uses the AC line as a reference. We recommend using Internal
sync for higher accuracy. (Internal sync uses the 8400’s crystal reference,
which is backed up by a battery so it always runs even when power is turned
off.)
b)
Set the Time Zone Offset to “0 hrs.”
c) Choose Time Format as desired (either 24-hour time or AM/PM-style time).
d) Set hours, miniutes, and seconds, in that order.
Seconds will stop advancing when you set hours and minutes. So set sec-
onds last.
e)
Choose the desired date format.
f) Set today’s date.
g) If you want the clock to automatically reset itself to conform to Daylight
Savings Time (Summer Time), use the
Begins and Ends fields to specify when
Daylight Savings Time begins and ends in your area. If you do not wish to use
this feature, leave the
Begins and Ends fields set to Off.
C) (Optional): Navigate to Screen 2 to specify your station’s identifier (call sign or
call letters).
2. Navigate to System Setup/Automation.
3. If the far left button reads “Disabled,” choose it and press Enter to en-
able automation.
This button lets you enable or disable all automation events easily without hav-
ing to edit individual automation events.
4. To add an automation event:
A) Select Add.
B)
You can program an event that occurs only once or an event that occurs in a weekly
preset pattern. Highlight either
Set By Week or Set By Date and press the Enter
button.
C) For Set By Week:
