IMPORTANT NOTES
1. When the Weekly Tone & Bell Schedule programming screen is opened, it displays the last file that was edited by the user.
The displayed schedule may be different than the actual schedule data stored in to the VNS2200 (unless the VNS2200 was
previously programmed with that schedule).
2. To ensure the schedule displayed is same as the schedule programmed in to the VNS2200, press Download after opening the
Weekly Tone & Bell Schedule programming screen. This will download and display the active schedule from VNS2200. The
schedule is downloaded and saved by default to the Default.tws file. Use the Save As to save the schedule under a different
name.
3. All changes made are applied to the current active slot that represents the current active weekly schedule. Make sure you select
the correct slot before using the Edit, Download and Upload commands.
4. Every time the Slot is changed, the appropriate schedule is downloaded from the VNS2200 and displayed.
5. Unless the Work Offline check box is cleared, changes made to the schedule DO NOT
update the schedule stored in the VNS2200
until the Upload command is used. Always upload the schedule to the VNS2200 after schedule changes are completed.
6. Use the Upload command to program a schedule that was loaded using the Open command.
7. It is recommended that each schedule used will be downloaded from the VNS2200 and saved to the disk with a name that will
describe it appropriately. If required, saved schedules can be loaded to the VPS using the Open command and then programmed
in to the VNS2200 using the Upload command.
8. The execution of the schedule programmed in to the VNS2200 is dependent on the date and time stored in its internal clock. This
internal clock has to be kept accurate by receiving time updates from a PC connected to it via the USB port.
