5. If the Copy From command is selected, the schedule will be copied from the selected displayed day to the selected
Week Day.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. When the Weekly Tone & Bell Schedule programming screen is opened, it displays the last file that was edited by the
user. The displayed schedule may be different than the actual schedule data stored in to the VS4500 (unless the VS4500
was previously programmed with that schedule).
2. To ensure the schedule displayed is same as the schedule programmed in to the VS4500, press Download after opening
the Weekly Tone & Bell Schedule programming screen. This will download and display the active schedule from
VS4500. The schedule is downloaded and saved by default to the Default.tws file. Use the Save As to save the
schedule under a different name.
3. All changes made are applied to the current active slot that represents the current active weekly schedule. Make sure
you select the correct slot before using the Edit, Download and Upload commands.
4. Every time the Slot is changed, the appropriate schedule is downloaded from the VS4500 and displayed.
5. Unless the Work Offline check box is cleared, changes made to the schedule DO NOT
update the schedule stored in the
VS4500 until the Upload command is used. Always upload the schedule to the VS4500 after schedule changes are
completed.
6. Use the Upload command to program a schedule that was loaded using the Open command.
7. It is recommended that each schedule used will be downloaded from the VS4500 and saved to the disk with a name that
will describe it appropriately. If required, saved schedules can be loaded to the VPS using the Open command and then
programmed in to the VS4500 using the Upload command.
8. The execution of the schedule programmed in to the VS4500 is dependent on the date and time stored in its internal
clock. This clock MUST
be kept accurate by receiving time updates from a GPS receiver or from a PC connected to it via
a serial port.
4.1.6 Calendar Tone & Bell Schedule
The calendar tone & bell schedule allows the VS4500 to activate tones, bells or audible alerts stored in the memory of a
wireless audio/visual controller such as the VNS2200 according to a pre-programmed annual schedule. Some of the events
are designated to special devices activation and functions.
The schedule calendar consists of 8 to 100 daily events (depending on the VS4500 version) that can activate a respective
tone, bell or audible alert on the wireless receiver. Days with active events are marked with an Orange indicators to the left
of the date on the calendar.
Unlike the weekly schedule, events have be programmed for each day of the calendar year and there is only one active
schedule. When required, events can be copied from one period the other periods for easy programming.
Follow these steps to program a schedule calendar (see IMPORTANT NOTES at the end of this section):
1. Make sure the VS4500 is powered on and connected to the serial port on the PC.
2. Click on VS4500, Calendar Tone & Bell Schedule.
3. The Calendar Tone & Bell Schedule dialog box will be displayed. The last schedule file edited by the user will be
retrieved from the disk and displayed. If this file does not exist, a new file will be created by the VPS software.
4. If you prefer to have a schedule that starts with a month other than January, use the Rotate command to change the
first month of the schedule before creating any daily events. Select Rotate 1 Month Forward on the Schedule Rotation
drop down list and click on Rotate until the desired first month is displayed.
