Chime Service
The EMIC is equipped with hardware and software to provide chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. Upon receiving the proper chime inputs, the EMIC activates an integral chime tone generator to provide the audible chime tone to the vehicle operator. The chime tone generator in the EMIC is capable of producing single chime tones or repeated chime tones at 2 different rates. A slow rate of about 50 chime tones per minute, and a fast rate of about 180 chime tones per minute. The internal programming of the EMIC determines the priority of each chime tone request input that is received, as well as the rate and duration of each chime tome that is to be generated.
