Once the data for all TC - 3 000 time clocks for Group 1 has been entered, click SAVE and then click SEND to LANG to transmit data (Figure 3.4.6). When the LANG receives the data it stores the configuration for GROUP 1 and updates the configuration of each clock in the group.
3.5 CREATING WEEkLY SCHEDULES From the GROUP window, access the weekly schedule by clicking on the SCHEDULE button (Figure 3.5.1). The weekly schedule is the default schedule and runs for the period specified, typically this schedule is Monday through Friday. (Figure 3.5.2) Figure 3.5.1 Figure 3.5.2...
Page 32
The default start and end dates are not defined. Select the period to run this weekly schedule using the fly-out calendar that appears when the arrow in the box to the left of the start and end date is selected. The start and end dates may be a period greater than 1 year and a date that has already passed may be selected as a start date.
3.6 COPYING SCHEDULES DLPRO 3000 offers the capability to copy a schedule from one group to another group. Open fly-out window on the copy box by clicking the arrow button and select the group to which the schedule is to be copied. Click on the COPY button and the system automatically copies to the group selected (Figure 3.6.1).

The option of selecting ‘Another LANG’ also appears in the fly-out window. A list of available LANGs appears. The list of LANGs can be expanded to show the available groups with each LANG. Select the LANG and GROUP to copy the schedule (Figure 3.6.2). Select COPY and a message appears that confirms the schedule has been copied (Figure 3.6.3).
3.7 HOLIDAY / NO SCHOOL DAYS Holiday / N o School Days are days when there is no school and the beacons should not operate. Holiday / N o School days are inclusive meaning that the start date is the first day that the beacons do not flash and the end date is the last day the beacons do not flash.
Page 39
Since most schools in a school district will have the same holidays, the program provides an easy method to copy the Holiday / N o School Days to another group. Open the fly-out window on the copy box by clicking the arrow button and select the group to which the Holiday ...
3.8 EXCEPTIONS Exceptions are exactly what the name implies, exceptions to the weekly schedule or the Holiday / N o School schedule. Typically, exceptions are used for early dismissals, late starts, or after hours events such as football games, or other times the flashers are needed. Since the clock will run an exception for the entire day, all ON/ OFF events must be included in the schedule.
Page 41
A feature called NAMED EXCEPTIONS is available for the benefit of the user. A named exception can be used repeatedly throughout the year — e.g. two-hour late starts, one-hour early dismissals. To create a named exception, click on the NAMED EXCEPTIONS button. A window called New Exception will open. Enter a meaningful name such as Early Dismissal shown in Figure 3.8.2 and click OK.
Page 43
Figure 3.8.5 COPY – copies the exception for the date shown (above the Intervals column) to the date selected in the fly-out box. SAVE – saves the exception just created. DELETE – deletes the exception shown in the Intervals column. A prompt appears to verify the action. Selecting YES deletes the exception, selecting NO cancels the deleting.

Using the ELTEC Demo 1 LANG - 3 000 example, if the gateway can successfully communicate with all clocks in its defined group, the clocks battery voltages are above 11.6 V DC, and the clocks are not in an override state, two green check marks should display for each clock.
Page 52
Referring to the graphic display above, observe that the cell with the TC - 3 000 clock name is shaded green when everything is OK. If a TC - 3 000 clock parameter is not OK, the cell will be shaded pink. In the System monitor mode, the name of the LANG will also be shaded whenever it has been interrogated.
5.2 E-MAIL NOTIFICATION While running in System Monitor mode DLPRO continuously tracks operational parameters. Those conditions and parameters that are repeatedly abnormal are reported via E-mail. For example, should a solar powered clock’s battery voltage dip below the specified threshold and remain low for several minutes, the system will issue an E-mail to all recipients.
