Scheduling these special selections simplify the operation of the bell system. Some are also available as a pull-down selection while [[Scheduler_weekly_MS|editing schedules]] and [[Settings_MS2201#Edit_Remote_Buttons|programming functions]] using the Management Suite scheduler.

== Scheduled macros ==

When programming macro codes in the weekly schedule, do not precede them with any other specific selection or pause. Multiple macros may be scheduled at the same time, including function macros containing pauses.

== Pauses and delays ==

Sometimes you will not want the bells to ring exactly on the quarter hour. To delay ringing until later in the quarter, insert a pause in the program ahead of the ringing. Older manuals instruct you to press the cursor-up button to access pauses. This is no longer recommended, you should use the following numeric codes instead.

=== Timed selection pause ===

Users of newer systems should use the following timed silent selections for pauses:

0071 - One Minute

0072 - Two Minutes

0073 - Three Minutes

0074 - Four Minutes

0075 - Five Minutes

0076 - Six Minutes

0077 - Seven Minutes

0078 - Eight Minutes

0079 - Nine Minutes

0080 - Ten Minutes

Silent selections may be combined for longer pauses. Silent selections can be used in Function programs (remote buttons or macros).

== Random Music ==

These codes only apply to music-capable bell systems. Current models of single bell and peal controllers can use all of the non-musical selections on this page.

One of the Chime Master's strengths is its ‘'set it/forget it'’ ease of programming. The 100-year [[SmartAlmanac]]<sup>TM</sup> makes this possible and you still have total control. Instead of scheduling specific songs or even seasonal music to play on certain dates, simply indicate at what times during the week you want music to play. The system will choose appropriate music for the current season from then on, every week, every season, every year.

=== Single random selection from music groups ===

While a four-digit selection number is blinking on the display, press the ''cursor-up'' button. The display will indicate ''Grp _'' and you can follow it with a number between ''1'' and ''9'':

While a four-digit selection number is blinking on the display, press the ''cursor-up'' button. The display will indicate ''~~Grp_~~'' and you can follow it with a number between ''1'' and ''9'':

*'''Grp1''' plays sacred hymns (unless the Easter season is disabled in [[Seasonal options setup menu|Seasonal Options]]) mixed with non-sacred music, and follows the current almanac season

*'''Grp7''' plays patriotic music independent of season

*'''Grp8''' plays Marian hymns independent of season

*'''Grp9''' plays from the User Defined Playlist – requires optional ~~Millennium~~ Suite to customize

*'''Grp9''' plays from the User Defined Playlist – requires optional Management Suite to customize

=== ~~Multiple~~ random music selections ===

=== Timed random music selections ===

In the schedulers, you can continue to enter more musical selections as you did above. When programming a music function button, you can also indicate how many selections to play (up to 199). You can also enter the following timed music blocks in the schedule (these codes must be the ''last'' selection for the quarter hour).

Line 53:

*'''7023''' plays sacred Group 3 music until the end of the current quarter hour

== Programmable ~~Functions~~ ==

== Programmable functions ==

You can [[Edit remote button setup menu|customize]] up to eight programmable functions. These are immediately accessible from the front panel when the carillon is in standby mode (not playing and the current time is displayed) by pressing button 1 through 8. You can also program the function in a schedule by entering codes '''7901''' - '''7908'''.

Line 59:

*'''7901''' Single swinging bell for call to worship

*'''7902''' Multiple swinging bells ringing together (a Peal) for times of celebration

*'''7903''' A tolling bell (can be configured to repeat

*'''7903''' A tolling bell (can be configured to repeat a specific number of times)

*'''7904''' Plays a number of musical selections (customize how many)

*'''7908''' Prayer bells are typically programmed on this function

Only use these 7900 codes in a schedule. One function cannot activate another.

=== Pause in a function ===

The pause/delay functions Pau_ do not work within the programmable functions. Supported systems will have blank timed selections that can be used instead. Selections '''0071''' through '''0080''' will provide silent delays from one to ten minutes.

== Pre-stored weekly schedule activation ==

The optional Premium Management Suite scheduler application can store up to ten schedules in the carillon’s FLASH memory. Then you can use the annual or one-time event scheduling features of the Suite to let the system know when to make each schedule active. You may also ‘play’ the macros manually in the Play Selections mode to activate a schedule at any time. The macro functions used to activate the schedules are '''7930''' through '''7939''' (for schedules 0 through 9). Schedules are made active by copying the schedule data from FLASH memory to editable RAM. Changes made to the active weekly schedule will be overwritten and lost when another schedule is activated by these codes.

== Audio zone switching ==

This feature only applies to carillon systems with amplifiers and speakers. Inside/Outside speaker switching can be accomplished on the schedule to override the settings made in the Setup-Seasonal Options screen. The following macros switch the speakers to play inside, outside or both for manual or automatic operation:

*'''7920''' Manual Outside/Automatic Outside

*'''7921''' Manual Outside/Automatic Inside

*'''7922''' Manual Outside/Automatic Inside and Outside

*'''7923''' Manual Inside/Automatic Outside

*'''7924''' Manual Inside/Automatic Inside

*'''7925''' Manual Inside/Automatic Inside and Outside

*'''7926''' Manual Inside and Outside/Automatic Outside (sometimes used to prevent time strikes inside)

*'''7927''' Manual Inside and Outside/Automatic Inside

*'''7928''' Manual Inside and Outside/Automatic Inside and Outside (factory default)

== Video tutorials ==

Here is a video that shows how to set up a function for a counted tolling bell, then schedule it to ring at a time appointed to commemorate a memorial event. After the memorial, the event can be removed from the weekly schedule. On our current systems with Premium Management software, the event can also be scheduled on an [[Scheduler_special_Events_MS|annual or one time]] basis.
