'TP Buzzer' type

A 'TP Buzzer' can only be selected in another function. This function sends a pre set number of beep tones to a selected interface, when the other function is selected. The number of beep tones is adjustable in the target value. Following target values are available:

XX times

Application examples:

• Every time that somebody rings at the entrance, one or more touch panels in the house are beeping a predefined number of times.
• Every time when the front-door is opened the touch panels in the house are beeping once. Every time when the back door is opened the beepers are beeping twice… just to let you know.
• Every time when a message appears on a display (touch panel), the beeper of the touch panel is activated. When it concerns an alarm, you can use a timed local mood function, which is calling the beeper function to (for example) beep 5 times every 30 seconds, until the alarm is cleared by the user.
