A Bell Controller has two relays that are wired to a public address (PA) or bell system. From the profile of a Bell Controller Relay, you can view its settings and historical data. You can view or change its assigned Bell Schedule, view its state and event history, and change the state of the relay.
If your school district has multiple buildings or schedules, you may have more than one Bell Controller resulting in multiple relays.
