Default Time switch

Hey I have got a question about a time switch. I have a customer that has a omron hs5 time switch that he uses for a bell to let the workers know when it is break time and lunch. He would like to have it sound off the bell for a couple of seconds about a minute before the actual end of break bell goes off. He would like to replace it with something that is a little easier to program because the are always changing there work schedule from 8 to 12 hour days on two shifts. Has anyone done this before and do you have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.

If you want to control the bell for just a couple of seconds then you will have to stay with the logic controler time switch. I fit quite a few of these Din Rail types and programming them is simple really.

I have installed about a dozen of these. The system can control not just bells but heating/cooling systems , doors, fans, lights, etc.
It is a good up-sale product....once you install it, the customer will see how good it works and want to control more things. Good for energy conservation ideas.

What I was referring to was region specific not where it is made, it looked to be european specific, like meaning it would not work here.
