24VAC wiring guidelines
Primex Analog Clocks (24VAC) operate at a maximum current draw of 30mA (24VAC) and operate over a range of 16 -
26VAC.
• For installations where 24VAC wiring exists - the gauge/length of the wire and rating for the supply transformer
should be verified to ensure adequate current supply and voltage for all connected devices.
• For new installations - the supply wire gauge should be determined to ensure acceptable voltage drop based on
installed length from the supply transformer to most distant clock to ensure minimum voltage (16VAC) is assured.
Pluggable surface receptacle configuration
The power cord is wrapped around the two posts on the back of the clock and can be unwrapped or wrapped to the
desired length.
The power cord is to be routed through the strain relief away from the upper portion of the clock’s antenna to maintain
optimal reception and then exit through the slot located at the bottom of the clock. The excess cord can then be wound
around the two cord posts.
NOTE
When hanging the clock on the wall, be sure the power cord does not get pinched between the mounting
hardware and the back of the clock. Be careful not to damage the antenna wires when hanging or
removing the clock.
Pluggable recessed receptacle configuration
The receptacle may be behind the clock, with the excess cord wound around the two cord posts.
To ensure that the cord does not prevent the clock from resting flush against the wall, the center of the recessed
receptacle should be located about 2.0 in. (6.35 cm) to the right or left of the center of the clock and 2.75 in. (6.9 cm)
down of clock mounting nail or screw.
