1. Introduction
DTS 2440.audio-clock has 2 different applications. The device works as time announcer
(„speaking clock“) or as broadcast time signal generator.
DTS 2440.audio-clock is redundant and includes two identical systems. In case of alarm the
monitor switches automatically from system 1 to system 2. Using the device in a real
redundant application it is necessary to connect two independent time sources (IF 482
telegram) and two independent power supplies.
„Speaking clock“: Audio output of the time in hours, minutes and seconds followed by a
beep. The language of the announced time is British English. Interval and volume is
selectable.
Broadcast time signal generator: Beep output. Length an frequency adjustable.

2440.audio-clock automatically switches to master clock 2 (The state of system
2 is irrelevant)

5. Device mode
5.1 General
The device mode is initialised by the manufacturer and cannot be modified by the customer.
To ensure a proper monitoring of the output signal the DIP-Switch 8 has to be set on the po-
sition according to the device mode.
5.2 Time announcer („speaking clock“)
Audible announcement of the time in hours, minutes and seconds followed by a beep. The
beep indicates the time when the announced time is valid. The time announcement lan-
guage is British English and has following format: „2 hours – 1 minute – 0 seconds“
Set DIP-Switch 8 to position OFF. The beep starts exactly to the beginning of the second.
The length is 500ms and the frequency is 1kHz.
With DIP-Switches 5..7 the intervals 60s, 30s, 20s or 10s are selectable. Additional it’s pos-
sible to switch off the time announcement with these switches.
For intervals bigger than 1 minute the inhibit function is available.
5.3 Broadcast time signal generator
Set DIP-Switch 8 to position ON. It’s possible to output a beep on every beginning of a se-
cond. So a maximum of 60 beeps per minute are audible. The interval selection with DIP-
Switches 5..7 is disabled. Frequency and length of every beep is adjustable:
Frequency range: 500Hz .. 10kHz 5% in steps of 1Hz
Length: 10ms..500ms in steps of 10ms
For intervals bigger than 1 minute the inhibit function is available.
5.4 Inhibit function
A connection between the two inhibit inputs inhibits the audio output. Thereby it is possible
to achieve intervals bigger than one minute by connecting a relay switch.
6. Switch over function
The operation mode selector on position “auto” means that if on system 1 an alarm appears
the DTS 2440 switches automatically to system 2. It is irrelevant if system 2 also displays an
alarm. There are 4 different alarm cases:
1. Power supply not available (additional displayed by the extinguished green power
LED)
2. Time signal not readable/available (additional displayed by the extinguished green
signal LED)
3. Output monitor: The level of the output signal is lower than expected (no beep), or is
permanently on the same value (continuous beep).
4. Internal error of the MP3 players

7. Supervision of DTS 2440.audio-clock
Every system has got an own I2C communication interface to a supervision DTS device. This
function is a future intention and not yet implemented.

9. Maintenance
For a function control of the internal relay switch it is recommended to switch the operation
mode selector from position “auto” to position “system 2” and back to “auto” for one time per
year.
