CLOCK CIRCUIT WITH TIME SIGNALS.

Time Signal Sounders may be added to any simple Clock circuit. Suitable Contact Makers are described above or one of the Clocks in the circuit may be fitted with a Bell ringing Movement -Fig. C9 and Diagram NS 38 shows the general connections.

Diagram NS 39 is a modification of NS.38 above and in this instance the Bells and/or Syren are operated from the Service Mains through a suitable Relay. The coils of this Relay, which are connected to the Contact Maker, are at low voltage through a Transformer.

Mains voltage on the Sound Signals is to be advocated when the number of Bells is large or where the Sound Signals employ Syrens or other Instruments taking an appreciable current.

The standard period of sound with a standard Contact Maker is 1⁄2minute. Where this period is considered too long, a Duration Contact may be used to deal with shorter periods of from 5 to 20 seconds or so. The connections would then be as Diagram NS 40 and suitable Duration Contacts are illustrated above.
