Tick tock control function
Tick tock control

Tick tone control is a function which can be used to control tick tones in a zone. In an AB system it is possible to start two different tick tones in the same zone (zone A and zone B) at the same time which allows for a quicker check of the systems.

The function can be assigned to both DAK keys and control inputs.

In this case one button is designated to the tick tone function, while multiple other buttons are used for zone select.

Case 2: Tick tone in a complete single system

In this case the tick tone button should start the tick tone test and allow it to run in all the zones for a set amount of time.
