    The MEC 310 has a built-in buzzer. The buzzer is configured in M-logic. This means that if the buzzer is going to be used as a horn annunciator, the input must be set to ‘Horn’ and the output must be set to ‘Buzzer’. The buzzer will act concurrently to the horn output timer. If the delay timer in M-logic is used, the buzzer will be active after this time delay.
