The Terminal Relay Sched form is used to schedule one or more terminals to activate a relay signal which can perform an action such as sounding an alarm or opening a door. The type of relay that your terminal can activate will depend on the type of terminal you are using.
A terminal relay schedule can be defined for a particular day of the week and time of day. For example, a terminal may be configured to ring a bell for 10 seconds during the start of a shift (9:00 a.m.) and the end of a shift (5:00 p.m.) every week day (Monday – Friday).
Once you create your terminal relay schedule, you can assign it to terminals using the Terminal Profile Setting or Terminal Setting form.
See Terminal Relay Schedule Feature for more information.
