=== Module Address Switch ===
=== Module Address Switch ===
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.
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 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.

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.

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

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

=== 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 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

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