Relay Events

Qqest time clocks come with an optional feature called "Relay Events." This feature allows you to connect an external bell, buzzer or other signal device to the time clock and program specific times of the day for the signal to go off, usually indicating scheduled start, stop or break times. Each clock can handle up to 32 relay events.

Although all Qqest time clocks can have relay events uploaded to them, the physical time clock relay itself will only be installed if you have purchased the Relay Events premium option.

Enabling Relay Events

Before you can upload Relay Events, you must first enable them in the clock profile.

1. Click on the main "Clocks" navigation tab at the top of the screen.
2. From the Existing Clocks section of the screen, click on the [EDIT/VIEW] icon. The "Clocks Settings" screen opens.
3. This screen allows you to search for existing clock profiles based on the clock group that they are assigned to. Make the desired selection from the Group drop-down menu. Leave this field blank to bring up all time clock profiles.
4. Click on the [DISPLAY] icon. The found clock profiles are displayed under the Clock List header.
5. In the Number column, click on the ID of the time clock that you would like to enable relay events for. The Clock screen appears.
6. The Upload Relay Events option is located directly below Upload Schedules. Ensure that this option is selected.
7. Click on the [UPDATE] icon located at the bottom of the screen to save the changes the changes that you have made.

Uploading Relay Events

Once the Upload Relay Events option has been enabled and the profile has been saved, you can now upload events to your clock.

1. Locate the clock that you would like to upload events to in the Clock List.
2. In the Relay Events column, click on the "View" link. The Relay Events screen opens.

3. Click on the [ADD] icon to add a relay event. The following options appear:

• In the Relay Time column, enter the time of day that this event is to be activated. The time must be entered in 24-hour format.
• In the Duration Seconds column, enter the number of seconds that you want the bell or buzzer to sound for when the event is activated.
• When the relay event occurs, it can either pulse for its duration or it can sound continuously. With Pulse selected, the bell or buzzer sounds as a series of pulses (on... off... on... off... on... off) for the duration of the event. If not selected, the bell or buzzer sounds continuously for the duration of the event.

• Put a check mark in the box for each day of the week on which you would like this event to occur.

4. Click on the [SAVE] icon to save the relay event.

The clock can handle up to 32 relay events. To remove an event from the clock profile, click on the icon.
