Default Shift timer

Where might I find a clock that will activate my shift/lunch/break buzzer? The
old time clock used to do that but I'm replacing it with a fingerprint scanner.
I need at least 10 set points. I don't even know what to call it, I tried
Google for everything I could think of.

My 1st thought is a sprinkler timer, but the affordable ones ($30 last time
for me but that was a decade ago) only have 6 zones. Buy 2 and get 12
setpoints.

Would you like to bypass all the middle men?

American Time and Signal of Dassel, MN is the manufacturer behind nearly all
commerical clocks. Give them a call 320-275-2101

If franklin doesn't have it - I don't know.
Price might be the barrier. Looks right.

Have the relay drive a power relay or an AC solid state relay that drives
the actual high current load. Then when the inductive bell kills the
cheap relay - you just replace a cheap relay not the clock.

I was thinking of the vacation clocks - house sitter - that turns on lights
so many times a day. But the on-off time is nasty for a bell.

I think the school and professional use one is the only way.

Pyramid makes them. Easy to program. We used one here.

Maybe there's a computer program somewhere?
