Relay Control: Manage Relay Timers/Schedules

Relay Timers/Schedules allow the configuration of relays to trigger at set times to match your schedule. This is useful for signaling shift changes or the beginning/ending of break periods.

To use the relay triggers/timers you must purchase and install a TimeIPS® Relay Control unit from our secure website. You can install one TimeIPS® Relay Control unit per TimeIPS® Clock and activate up to three devices for a specified amount of time.

 

 

Using the left pane Main Menu » Administration, click on: Clocking » Relay Controls

 Click on the Manage Relay Timers/Schedules button or the Relay Timers icon at the top.
