/ Overview

ィの自動演奏や外部への接点出力を行うことが出来ます。これらのプログラムは、各曜日単位に設定 可能な週間プログラム方式となっており、操作が容易になっています。

SEIKO bell timer Model QBT-30 serves as an analog clock. In addition, QBT-30 is capable of being programmed to play melodies automatically at preset times and/or deliver contact signal output to external circuits. A weekly programming system is used to specify the sequence of these operations on a day-of-the-week basis.

If SEIKO TimeLink(R) transmitter-receiver or LF radio receiver available as optional feature is used, it is possible to receive the standard radio wave automatically at regular intervals to keep accurate time for QBT-30 at all times. (Japan Only)

/ Features of QBT-30

■±

・ニカド電池の不採用 ・消費電力の低減

■Equipped with a high-precision quartz oscillator, the internal clock operates at a monthly average rate of ± 3 seconds.

■An automatic hand-correction movement is employed, eliminating the need for analog clock hand setting at the time of time setting.

■Up to 60 programs can be set to cover a wide range of applications.

■Two independent channels are available for dry contact signal outputs for control of various devices.

■10 melodies are available for programming.

■(Japan Only) Optional TimeLink(R) function eliminates the need for time setting. QBT-30 automatically responds to the implementation of summer time system. (For the implementation of the daylight-saving system, these options are required: ZA303N or SLR-201, and SW-302)

■Featured by the following, QBT-30 is an environmentally friendly product.

/ Selection of location for installation

WARNING

The Bell Timer QBT-30 is designed for indoor use, and must not be installed outdoors. Otherwise, rainwater may infiltrate into the product to cause electric shock or fire accident.

WARNING

It must not be installed in the bathroom or washing area or other electric shockor fire accident-prone damp places.

Select an installation place least susceptible to the influence of temperature, humidity and vibration. The ambient temperature of the selected place should be held within the range of -10 to +50 .

/ Load-bearing capacity

WARNING

り付けた場合、振動などで製品が落下し、人身事故にいたることがあり ます。

Make sure that the wall or other structure onto which QBT-30 is to be mounted has a sufficient strength to bear up against the weight of QBT-30. The maximum weight of QBT-30 is about 2 kg. If the structural strength is not sufficient, it may yield to the weight of QBT-30 or external shocks, letting fall QBT-30 to cause fatal accidents.

WARNING

Use a power supply of a specified rating only. Otherwise, electric shock or fire accident may result.

90 120 200 240 50Hz 60Hz

Use an exclusive power supply as the clock system runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The power supply should provide AC90V - AC120V or AC200V - AC240V, and its frequency should be 50Hz or 60Hz.
