=== Module Address Switch ===

~~Typical chime and carillon Striker Modules~~ are numbered left to right ~~as 1 through 5~~. Set module 4 as 3+1, module 5 as 3+2~~. Only large carillons will have a module 0 (all off) to the left of 1~~.

Module addresses are human readable (not binary). The switches are numbered 1 to 3 left to right at the top of each module. Set module 4 as 3+1, module 5 as 3+2.

For ~~non-musical controls there will typically be up~~ to ~~two DC Striker modules~~ and ~~up to two Relay modules. The Striker modules are numbered 0~~ (all ~~off~~) ~~and 1~~, ~~and the relay~~ modules ~~are numbered 2 and 3~~.

For single panels needing 25 to 32 note outputs, module number 7 (switches 1+2 ON) and 8 (all switches ON) will be specified, but these addresses are generally reserved for Combo modules.

~~Combination~~ Modules do not have address switches.

==== Non-musical controls ====

Combo Modules do not have address switches. If two are used, the second one will have its address jumper soldered.

Quad output modules are set as follows:

* First striker module 0 - All switches OFF

* Second striker module 1 - Switch 1 ON

* First motor relay module 2 - Switch 2 ON

* Second motor relay module 3 - Switch 3 ON

==== Chimes ====

Single panel of up to four modules numbered left to right.

* Interface configuration Map switch 5 is ON.

Modules addressed from 0 up to 3

* Up to 13 diatonic notes plus the leading tone, sharp 4th and flat 7th semitones

Modules addressed from 1 up to 4

* Up to 15 diatonic notes plus the flat 7th semitone

If other semitones are needed, use a carillon configuration skipping outputs as not needed.

==== Carillon panels ====

Carillon panels come in three sizes. Notes given are for a non-transposed instrument. Transposition is set up in the controller if needed.

* Interface configuration Map switch 6 is ON.

===== Five output modules =====

Up to three 20 output panels support five octaves minus one semitone. Address the modules from 1 to 5:

* Panel 1 skips first semitone for notes C to G#

* Panel 2 outputs notes A to E

* Panel 3 outputs notes F to C

===== Six output modules =====

Three 24 output panels support six octaves fully chromatic. Address the modules from 0 to 5:

* Panel 1 outputs notes C to B (first two octaves)

* Panel 2 outputs notes C to B (third and fourth octaves)

* Panel 3 outputs notes C to B (fifth and sixth octaves)

Custom mapping available for sub-bourdons and missing semitones.

===== Seven or eight output modules =====

From 25 to 32 fully chromatic outputs on a single panel. Address the modules from 0 to 7:

* Module 6: 1 and 2 ON

* Module 7: 1, 2 and 3 ON

==== AX Fiber optic cable ====

Use Multi-mode Duplex cable with two ST connectors at each end. Use care when installing the cable to prevent kinks and damage to the ends. The ends should be marked by color, number or with specification text on one channel of the 'zip' cord. Whichever channel is plugged into the left STATUS of the tower panel, also connects to the left STATUS connector on the rear of the AX touch screen controller. The opposite color should be plugged into the right DATA connectors at both ends.

Use [[Optical_fiber_interface|Multi-mode Duplex cable]] with two ST connectors at each end. Use care when installing the cable to prevent kinks and damage to the ends. The ends should be marked by color, number or with specification text on one channel of the 'zip' cord. Whichever channel is plugged into the left STATUS of the tower panel, also connects to the left STATUS connector on the rear of the AX touch screen controller. The opposite color should be plugged into the right DATA connectors at both ends.

For multipanel carillon installations, only Panel 1 will have the optical interface. Parallel the 485 terminals of Panel 1 and the additional panel(s).

Line 240:

Does not affect motor enable outputs to intelliSwing panels, but will affect Relay modules if used to trigger striker outputs.

~~Initial~~ pulse times ~~available~~ (milliseconds - Input LED ~~blinks~~):

Available striker pulse times (milliseconds - setting is indicated by blinking Input LED):

:75 - one blink - only for very small bells in chimes and carillons for faster repeat

:100 - two blinks - (Carillon panel 3 default)

Line 214:

Line 252:

Click the Step button to get to desired bell output, then long press Step or Repeat until Input LED indicates new pulse width.

* Long Press Step - (up) lengthen output pulse

* Long Press Repeat - (down) shorten pulse

* Click Repeat - re-test using new pulse

* Double click Test - revert to last saved pulse times (losing any recent changes)

* Long Press Test - saves newly selected timing for all bells before exiting self test

** During save, Input LED blinks four times

* Double click Test - revert to last saved pulse times (losing any recent changes)

If you want to reset to default pulse times

If you want to reset to default pulse times to factory defaults:

* Change the module configuration ~~(unplug a module temporarily)~~ and ~~cycle~~ power

* Change the module configuration as follows

** Power off the panel

** Unplug ribbon bus from one of the modules

** Power on, wait for two seconds and power back off

** Plug the ribbon bus back into the module

** Power on the panel

== Other applications ==

=== Minute impulse clocks ===

This application requires a ~~3740 quad relay~~ module with dry contacts to switch the voltage to the clock movements~~. Standard firmware supports minute impulse~~.

This application requires a 3721 combo module with dry contacts to switch the voltage to the minute impulse clock movements.

* set all three Panel address switches ON

* set high baud ON ~~for AX, OFF for LX~~

* set map switch 4 ON

* output 3 is odd minutes

* set high baud ON if system plays music (speakers or bell clappers)

* output 4 is even minutes

* output 2 N.O. is odd minutes

* ~~future firmware (> 0.6.6) may enable outputs 1 (odd) and 2 (even) as spares or for additional movements~~

* output 3 N.O. is even minutes

* a single DC tolling hammer output is provided to ring the hour

=== Deagan Damper relay ===

Line 242:

Line 285:

This application requires '''DAMPER''' firmware installed on the interface module.

* set ~~panel address switches~~ the ~~same as the striker module~~

* set the Panel Configuration switches the same as the striker output panel

* set map switches the same as the striker ~~module~~

* set high baud ON (only available with AX controller)

Refer to the [[Bell_Control_Technical_Data_3700#Adjust_output_pulse_time|pulse setting instructions]] above to adjust the transition time between notes while in the self test mode. This is a single setting for all notes in the chime (unlike striker pulse timing). Exiting self test mode will save the adjustment permanently to non-volatile memory.

Line 266:

Line 307:

** The voltage drop should be around 0.5 Volts - shorted outputs will be near 0 Volts (and fuse will be blown - do not replace)

** Return the module to Chime Master for replacement/rework if any measurement is less than 0.35 Volts

=== Combo Module ===

To test the striker output of the Combo module, use the steps above as for the DC Striker Module.

* Hold the red meter probe to the bottom of the striker fuse

* Touch the black meter probe to the middle lead of Q1

** The voltage drop should be around 0.5 Volts - shorted outputs will be near 0 Volts (and fuse will be blown - do not replace)
