Important Safety Information
This manual has been written to help you install and use EZ Bells laser disc carillon. Every
precaution has been taken to ensure that it is correct. However, we assume no liability for errors or
omissions. All specifications and features are for reference only and are subject to change without
notice. For exact specifications contact

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment can generate, and radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Grounding
This carillon must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This carillon is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local rules and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the carillon is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the carillon - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Lightning
The EZ Bells carillon is provided with surge protection circuits. Lightning strikes near, or directly
to nearby power lines can cause an excessive surge of voltage that can damage the unit.
Lightning damage is uncommon, but it can occur to any electronic device. We suggest that you
unplug all electronic products during storms, especially if you are concerned about it or if you live
in an area with frequent and/or severe electrical storms.
As with any valuable equipment purchase, you should review your insurance policy to be sure that
your EZ Bells carillon is covered for fire, theft, vandalism or damage due to electrical storms.

Introduction to the System
The EZ BellsJ carillon system is a product of digital audio technology. This system combines
musical selections recorded on digital discs. A unique control program provides unparalleled
flexibility when used in churches, town halls, banks, cemeteries, colleges, etc. You may select any
of over 600 musical selections that can be loaded into the system for playing at any time and in any
order.
The EZ BellsJ carillon system is designed to be used in a variety of environments. To configure
the system to meet the requirements of your particular needs, we have provided an installation
menu on page 8. It allows you to make selections for automatic settings for everything from
Daylight Saving Time adjustments and time strike options, to selecting the music you wish the
carillon to play from several random selection lists (that are described in the Selections Catalog).
Bell functions, such as swinging, striking, pealing, tolling and Angelus bells; are provided with the
system. These bells can ring manually or automatically at preset times. Included with the bell
functions are time strike functions. These functions include the Westminster quarter hour and
hour strikes. Any quarter hour of the day may be programmed to use the Time Strike function.
CD’s from other sources may also be utilized in this system. (See “To Play a Standard Disc” p. 19.
Care of the Discs
When holding discs, do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the
center hole. Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or
damage the label. Discs rotate at high speed inside the unit. Do not use damaged (cracked or
warped) discs. Return any warped or damaged CMS disc to EZ BellsJ for replacement. These
discs have a lifetime warranty and will be replaced when they become unusable. Contact our
Customer Service Department for assistance.
Cleaning discs: Since the discs are stored in the unit, dust and dirt should not accumulate on
them unless the unit is installed in a very dusty area. The presence of fingerprints or smudges on
the discs, may make them unreadable by the system. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them
gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer periphery. If a disc becomes dirty:
dip a soft cloth in water, wring out excess water, wipe the dirt away gently, and remove remaining
water drops with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on the discs. Also, never clean the disc with
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvent, since damage to the disc surface may result.
General Maintenance
Clean the cabinet as you would any fine furniture with a soft cloth. The control panel is acrylic
and should be cleaned with only a soft moist cloth. A cleaning solvent or abrasive cleaner will
scratch the surface of the panel.

Please review Care of Discs on Page 6 prior to loading discs. Insert up to six discs into the magazine.
If any bell functions are desired, either disc 1121 or 1111 must be installed in tray #1. Tray #1 is
the top tray.
Loading the Disc Magazines:
1. Pull out only one disc tray at a time. (Pulling out more than one tray at a time can damage
the magazine.) Tabs on the side of the magazine help in selection of the trays.
2. Install the discs with the label side faced down in the tray.
3. Return the disc tray back to its original position.
4. Insert other discs by repeating steps (1) to (3).
Caution!
• Only pull out one disc tray at a time. (When a disc tray has been pulled out, do not
pull out other disc trays.)
• Insert discs label side downward. If discs are inserted label side upward, it will not be
possible for them to be played.
• Do not touch the playing surface of discs (the plain iridescent side) with hands or
fingers.
• The label side of the disc is actually more susceptible to damage from scratches.
Handle the discs carefully.
Once the disc magazine is replaced, the system will read each disc and fill the random play lists.
The display will show the catalog number of the disc in each tray.
One of the features of the EZ BellJ carillon is its ability to play standard music CDs. These CD’s
can be loaded into any tray location (except #1). Due to the condition of the discs and the source
of mastering/manufacturing, we cannot guarantee the playability of all CD’s.
Setting the Time Clock
The latest temperature compensated crystal clock circuitry gives the clock accuracy greater than +/one minute per year. Periodic checks and settings of the clock may be necessary to insure accurate
operation of the system. The clock is factory set to your local time before shipment and should not

A standard disc that has not been cataloged into the system may also be used by following these
codes:

of these CD’s.
View Mode/Set Program
View mode enables you to see what has been programmed to play at various times of the week.
Besides viewing the program schedule, you may modify it at specific periods. The EZ BellsJ
carillon is programmable at 15-minute intervals. We will call these intervals time slots. If you wish
to play a selection at a time not falling on an even quarter-hour time, up to three pauses from one
to five minutes in length may be programmed to precede the selection. This allows you to position
the time that a selection plays at any minute of the hour. These possibilities are explored in this
section.

Programming Random Selections
The ability to play selections at random and substituting appropriate seasonal selections, is the
hallmark of the Chime Master® carillon system. When your system was installed, it was
programmed to play from one of five random play lists. Consult page 41, Installation Notes in the
front of this manual to verify which Random Play List has been selected for your system.
There is a table in the Selections Catalog that describes the random music groupings (R numbers)
for all possible installations and seasons. The following table summarizes these groupings for
Protestant and Catholic installations during non-seasonal times.
Protestant Catholic
R1 Groups R2 to R4 below R1 All groups below
R2 Traditional Hymns R2 Traditional Hymns
R3 Meditative Hymns R3 Eucharist Hymns
R4 Evangelical Hymns R4 Marian Hymns
R5 Revival/Camp-meeting R5 Contemporary Hymns
When a random selection is programmed to play, it is shown on the View mode display with an 'R'
and a number (R1 through R5). This number represents the random category from which the
selection will be randomly chosen. Note that the selections are randomly sequenced, and that all
selections available for a category will be played equally as often.

Random Selection Block Functions
Special music functions allow the carillon to play for a predetermined length of time. The listing
below shows 10, 15 and 30-minute modes. This is not the length of play, but refers to what time
the music will stop. The next selection will not begin if there is less than one minute of play time
remaining. If a selection is still playing at the stop time, it will fade out before stopping.

Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
The next position in the selection sequence will begin to flash
when the random selection is entered.
Documenting Your Schedule
We have provided an Input Sheet that you should use to decide what you want to play each week.
The Input Sheet allows you to document the day and time that a particular selection is to play.
There is also a place to write the title of the selections. When the selection is a random selection,
write out the group type, such as Hymns in the title column.
As you enter each selection into the program schedule, make a check in the OK column.
Documenting your program this way will make things easier for the next person who needs to
make a change.

before playing the selection.
Pauses may cause unexpected results when inserted between selections. A programmed pause
merely waits for the minute that is one to five minutes ahead of the time that the pause is
encountered in the sequence. If at 8:30 a selection plays which is three and one-half minutes in

The selection repeat feature may be used to cause a tolling bell to ring a specific number of times.
The single strike (selection 1105) is typically used for funeral tolls, which is a heavier bell than the
one-minute tolling bell. The number of repeats may be set to the age of the deceased. You may
also use the single strike to strike for a specific length of time. A repeat value of 35 will ring for
five minutes, 70 for 10 minutes, etc.

Operational Tips
The remote provides a line of sight transmission of about 100 feet. Any mass of metal between the
transmitter and receiver will inhibit proper operation. You may also discover a few dead spots
where the unit may not operate, even though you are closer than 100 feet.
For best results, the transmitter antenna should be hanging vertically when transmitting. If it must
lay horizontally, it should be oriented so that it is perpendicular to the direction of the receiver.
Operation from metal cabinets or tables will probably not be satisfactory.
If the transmitter is operated next to microphones or microphone cables, it is possible that the PA
system will pick up a noise, similar to a telephone ring tone. Avoid operation in close proximity to
PA equipment and wiring.

Troubleshooting Guide
In Standby mode, the system is continuously performing diagnostics. If it detects something out of
the ordinary, it will attempt to correct itself without operator intervention. If that is not possible, it
locks up and displays a message. Although this can be an inconvenience, it is better than having to
get out of bed in the middle of the night and race to the church to shut the bell system down.
Rarely, one of the following messages may appear on your display. If this happens, follow the
procedure listed below the message.
If your system is doing any other strange things that are not described below, turn the power switch
off for about 10 seconds, then back on.
Error in Program Schedule Detected
Program is corrupted
Yes-Clear No-Salvage
If a power outage that surges on and off rapidly occurs (which often accompany high winds and
storms), program memory may be affected. The corruption is usually minor and so we have
provided a way to salvage as much of it as possible.
Should you select YES to reinitialize the program, or select NO to salvage? The answer depends on
how complex your program is to key in, or if you have an adequate record of it at all. The least
amount of time and effort will be spent if you press NO to salvage what you can. When you elect
to salvage, each time slot is checked and will be cleared if any invalid selections are found. Also
any slots programmed between 11:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. will be cleared. Be sure to check the
schedule with View mode after resetting (refer to View Mode, Checking the Schedule on page 20).
If you say YES, you must answer many questions from the installation menu. You may wish to
refer to Program Installation, Entering the Installation Menu (clear memory) on page 8.
Blank Screen
Due to rare interruptions of program process, the screen may appear blank for a period which
should not exceed 15 minutes. If it exceeds this period of time, turn off the power to the system or
unplug it from the wall receptacle for about 10 seconds, then power back on or plug the system
back into the wall receptacle. The program should resume after resetting itself to normal.

If the discs do not load properly in step 6, make sure they are installed correctly with the label side
down. If the unit still will not accept the disc magazine, call the factory for service information.
Standard Disc Does Not Play
Check disc:
1. It must be loaded label side down.
2. The disc must be in tray 2 through 6.
3. Codes must be entered correctly (02 for the second tray, 03 for the third, and so on).
4. Make certain the disc is in good condition (scratches and warping will make the disc
unreadable).
5. Some discs may not be compatible with this system. Try another disc.

This message occurs when the system has failed in an attempt to read the discs. It will not eject the
disc magazine if the system is locked. Unlock the key lock to eject and inspect the discs, then
replace the magazine.
No Sound
If no sound is heard either from the tower or from the monitor speaker when the display shows
that a selection is playing, follow this checklist.
1. Determine that the system is actually playing properly. Is the colon on the time display
flashing? If not turn the power off and then back on. Try playing a selection manually
or with a function button.
2. Are connections to the amplifier at fault? Make sure that all cables are plugged in
completely.
3. Is the amplifier at fault? Try plugging the amplifier power cord into a wall socket. Does
the red or green power light come on? While the amplifier is plugged into the wall
socket, remove the audio cable from the back of the main disc drive unit. Tap on the
tip of the connector at the end of this cable. You should hear a faint hum or thump
from the monitor speaker as you do so.
4. When the unit is playing, the green PLAY light on the front of the disc drive unit
should come on. Also, you should have a power indication on the amplifier (green or
red, depending on the position of the tower switch).
If sound can be heard from the monitor speaker, but not from the tower follow this checklist.
1. Make sure that the tower switch is in the on position and that the green light comes on
while the system is playing.
2. Check that the tower speaker cable is properly attached to the amplifier output
terminals.
3. Check the tower speaker cable for shorts between the conductors.

Installing the EZ Bells Carillon
Before you install or hookup the tower speakers, you can simply plug in the system, configure it
(see page 8), and play it through the built-in monitor speaker. Familiarity with the carillon
operation, before finishing the installation, will make the first test (below) more satisfying.
There are several options that are available concerning the hookup and operation of the EZ Bells
Carillon System. The remainder of the manual is dedicated to the RECOMMENDED installation
and connection procedures. There are other options that are addressed in the enclosed “RMX
Series Amplifier” manual. There is also information on the rear of the amplifier. As always, if you
have questions concerning installation or operation, please call our customer service line, 1-800432-3977.

RMX Amplifier Instructions
Configuration Switches – The diagram at right shows the recommended switch
settings for carillon use.
Speaker Voltage - Because of the amplifier's high power capability there is a
possibility of shock hazard at the speaker terminals. Always make connections with
the power off, observe good wiring practice and avoid stray wire strands.
Speaker Cables - A minimum of 14-gauge speaker cable should be used. 14/2
SJTO cable is available from EZ Bells Systems. If the speaker cable has to run
more than 250 feet, consider 12 gauge cable or constant-voltage speaker drivers.
Under no circumstances should either speaker wire be connected to a ground or conduit.
Constant-Voltage Systems - The amplifier can drive 70-volt lines at 200 watts. This makes it
particularly suitable for upgrading older systems that have speaker drivers with transformers.
Transformer speaker drivers must be wired in parallel, not parallel-series as shown for low
impedance drivers.
Low Impedance Systems - The best sound quality will be obtained with speakers that use low
impedance drivers. This is because the matching transformers filter high frequencies, and the
damping factor provided by low impedance reduces low frequency distortion. A typical system
consists of four 16-ohm speakers that, when wired parallel-series as shown below, paralleled present
a load impedance of 16 ohms to the amplifier.
The amplifier is capable of driving a 4-ohm load, but will run hotter. Wiring four 16-ohm speakers
in parallel will present a load impedance of 4 ohms to the amplifier. Make sure that the amplifier
has adequate ventilation.
Operation
First Test - Switch the tower switch on the front of the amplifier OFF, set the front panel Monitor
level control to its 12 o’clock position. Turn the amplifier’s Channel 1 and Channel 2 Gain
controls fully counterclockwise. Turn the system on with the power switch on the rear panel of the
system control unit. When the display shows the time and date (the Standby mode), press 1 then
Enter. A swinging bell should play through the monitor speaker only.
Now that the system function has been verified, turn the monitor level control fully
counterclockwise. Turn the amplifier’s Channel 1 Gain control to about the 8 o'clock position.
Play the swinging bell again and gradually increase the Channel 1 Gain control to a normal sound
level.
Amplifier Front Panel Controls
Tower On/Off Switch – This switch enables or disables the tower speakers by turning the
amplifier power off.
Channel 1 Gain – Controls the level to the tower speakers.
Channel 2 Gain – Should always be set fully counterclockwise.
