Display
Description
Unit is in Calendar mode but is currently in "System Disable" (example: spring break, summer break, etc.)
Unit is in Calendar mode and currently running schedule shown.
Unit is NOT in calendar mode and will only run the schedule shown.
Displayed when setting unit in the calendar mode.
Displayed when the CTG-2 is unable to synchronize with "ACTS". See Forced Time Sync Mode below.
Displayed when the CTG-2 has lost power for over 4 hours and has dates or daylight savings time programmed.
This can be corrected with a "Forced Time Sync" (see below) or enter PC programming and reprogram the clock
in the "Set Up Clock" screen (see page 12).
Displayed when the CTG-2 is in the "System Disable" mode (see "System Disable" page 11).
Displayed when the CTG-2 is in the "Off" mode. In the "Off" mode, the CTG-2 will not play or activate any pro-
grammed events.
Displayed when the CTG-2 is in "PC Programming" (USB port is connected to a PC and CTG-2 programming
software is opened). In the "Pro" mode, the CTG-2 will not play or activate any programmed events.
Displayed when the CTG-2 is in the "Time Sync" mode.
FORCE TIME SYNC Mode: Press the "+" button to initiate a "Forced Time Sync" to the Atomic Clock (ACTS). The internal
Modem in the unit will then seize the phone line, speed dial ACTS and down load the current time and date. This process
will take approximately 30 seconds in which time the unit will flash "Snc" on the clock display. The default phone number
to perform a sync is "9 (1 second pause) 13034944774". This is programmed on the "Set Up Clock" screen.
If the CTG-2 was unable to sync with ACTS the display will flash "Snc", the current time, then "Err". If this happens, check
to make sure a phone line or analog station port of a phone system is connected to J2 terminals 1&2 (CO Line Input). Test
the phone line with a standard telephone or test set to verify you can call ACTS and hear modem carrier tones. Then go
into PC programming under "Set Up Clock" and verify the correct number is programmed in the "ACTS Phone Number"
location.
