Time Dly (sec): For an Aux Relay On or Off event, this box sets the length of delay time (0.5 to 59.5 sec) before the auxiliary relay will
be turned on or off.
Start Date/Stop Date: The easiest way to program start and stop dates is to program them in the "Change Schedule" screen. The start
and stop times cannot be programmed and are fixed to 12:00am. Start and stop dates can also be programmed in the event programming
screen. Double click in the event row to open the "Edit Event" screen. The Start and Stop pull down menus allow you to program Start and
Stop dates for that specific event. Example: You would like to let your employees off work an hour early during the week before Christmas.
Simply program an even to play your normal 5:00 end of shift tone at 4:00 with start and stop dates for the week before Christmas.
Notes: This field in the "Edit Event" screen is useful for entering notes explaining what the event is signaling such as "Period 2 Start",
"Lunch End", "Shift 3 Start", etc. The "Notes" field is only used for the convenience of the user and is stored in the PC dat file. The CTG-
2 does not make use of this information.
System Disable: This task allows you to program a specific date and/or time to disable all timed events. This is useful in schools for dis-
abling all events during spring break, holidays, etc. Triggered inputs 1-4 will remain functional during "System Disable" times.
System Enable: If "System Disable" has been programmed via the "Edit Event" screen, a "System Enable" event can be programmed to
re-enable the CTG-2 to activate timed events.
Upload: Uploads all data from the current open PC screen to the CTG-2.
Download: Downloads internal programming data from the CTG-2 to the PC screen you have open.
Calendar Mode: If more than one schedule is programmed you can run the unit in the calendar mode. In the Calendar mode the CTG-
2 will automatically switch on/off and to different schedules per the dates programmed in the "Change Schedule Calendar". Schedule
changes will take place at 12:00 AM.
Calendar: Clicking the "Calendar" button in the "Event Programming" screen will open the "Change Schedule Calendar" programming screen where
you can select which schedule you would like the CTG-2 to run on which days during the year. This is programmable out to the year 2098 allowing
you to program multiple years in advance if required. Simply select a preprogrammed schedule and click on the dates you would like that schedule
to run. By clicking and highlighting, multiple dates can be changed at once. When utilizing the "Change Schedule Calendar" schedule changes will
take place at 12:00 AM.
Manual Schedule Changes (versus Calendar mode): You are allowed to program your own schedule changes instead of using the calendar mode
that automatically creates schedule changes for you. You then program the schedule changes as events, specify the schedule you are changing to
and the start and stop dates for this schedule change. Additional information about manual schedule changes:
1. Multiple schedule changes on a particular day are not supported.
2. The start and stop times for all manual schedule changes is fixed at midnight and cannot be changed. The "Start Time" field on the "Edit Event"
screen is grayed out (not available) when programming a schedule change event.
3. When all programming is completed (and uploaded to the CTG-2) and you are ready to start the unit running, run the CTG-2 in the calendar mode.
The CTG-2 will only follow schedule change events when running in the calendar mode.
