Overview
The timing events can be programmed via the unit’s front buttons, or they can be programmed with the supplied PC software (also available as a download from www.altronics.com.au).
The timing events can also be programmed to only trigger the Bell 24V out (and in turn the common 24V Out), with no audio output. This is activated by setting the output to the “relay” option in the programming setup.
The Evacuation controller is designed around industry standard building emergency alert/evacuate requirements. When connected to a paging system amplifier, building occupants can be alerted and/or evacuated in the event of an emergency e.g. fire, gas leak, bomb scare, earthquake. Alert & Evac switches on the front of the unit are fitted with safety covers to prevent accidental operation.
The Alert, Evacuation and Bell tones and the cancel function are triggered by the front switches, or by the rear terminal contacts for remote activation. Switched 24V DC Out connections are provided for Bell, Alert, Evac or a Common out. These contacts are for connection of override relays in remote volume controls, warning strobes, bells etc.
The alert and evacuation tones are stored on the SD card (Emergency Tones which conform to AS1670.4 are supplied) to allow the user to provide any tones they require (Note: The audio files must be in MP3 format).
The Evacuation mode has a voice over option for the playback of an evacuation message every third cycle of the evac tone. The voice over message is also stored on the SD card and is DIP switch enabled.

Programming the Timing Events
The timing events can be programmed via the unit’s front buttons which is a bit cumbersome, or they can be programmed with the supplied PC software (Screen shots shown below).
Programming the A 4500 with the software is very simple.
Open the program by double clicking the “Redback A 4500 Timer Programmer.exe” file. The program will appear as shown below.
If the program doesn't run then the .NET Framework might need to be updated on your PC. This must be updated to the .NET Framework 4, available on the microsoft website.
Double click on any line to bring up the Event Details window as shown below.
At this stage the Event description, start time, finish time, output and days of the week can be selected. The output can be set to Bell, Prebell or Music output which are all MP3 audio outputs. The other output option is the relay only option, which triggers the Bell 24V DC output relay (with no audio output).
Press OK to save this event which will now appear in the event listing as shown below.
Double click on another line to bring up the Event Details window again and then enter the next event.
Press OK to save this event which will now appear in the event listing as shown below.
Once complete the events are saved as a configuration file which is stored on the supplied SD card. The SD card is inserted into the A 4500 and the timer is now up and running. If any changes are required simply remove the SD card, connect to a PC and add or remove events.
