Square Double Mount Installation
q
Separate the front of each clock from each back case -
Locate the four (4) tabs on both sides of either clock (left and right sides
each have two (2) tabs) and disengage those tabs by pressing down on them with a flathead screw driver. This will allow the front of
each clock to separate from the back case section of each clock. The back cases are the pieces that will be mounted to the mounting
pole before attaching the front of each clock and each back case back together.
w
Install metal mounting bracket -
First, remove the metal mounting bracket from the inside of the double mount base by unscrewing
the two (2) 6-32 x 1/2” screws located on the underside of the base (save these screws for step #5). Next, screw the metal mounting
bracket to the wall or ceiling in which the clocks are being installed. To mount to the switch box, screw the four (4) 6-32 x 1” screws
supplied in the assembly kit through the inner four holes of the metal mounting bracket. Use the outer four holes to mount anchors
to the wall (both anchors and screws for anchors not supplied in kit). For IP clocks, if using an Ethernet bracket (*as shown in the
diagram) use the two (2) 6-32 x 1/4” included in the assembly kit to mount the Ethernet bracket to the metal mounting bracket at this
point(Ethernet bracket not supplied in assembly kit).
Note: if using a plastic switch box, a ground wire must be routed through the switch box and into one (1) of
the four (4) metal mounting bracket screws in order to provide ground to the metal mounting bracket.
Note: the metal mounting bracket
MUST
be secured by both the screws going to the switch box
AND
the
anchors going into the wall.
e
Mount clock back cases to pole -
Align one of the two square holes inside each back case with one of the three holes on the
mounting pole where the wiring will be routed (the installer will chose which hole at the end of the pole to use based on how far they
want the clock to sit from the wall). Locate the four (4) screw holes surrounding the chosen wiring hole and screw the four (4) 8-32 x
7/16” screws supplied in the assembly kit (4 screws per clock) through each back case and into the mounting pole, securing both back
cases to the mounting pole.
r
Screw both back cases together -
Using the two (2) self tapping, 6-19 x 7/16” screws supplied in the assembly kit, screw both back
sides of the clock housings together (2 screws per clock). *See the diagram on the previous page for screw locations inside the backcase.
t
Feed wiring through base and pole -
Take the wiring coming from the switch box and begin to feed it through the center of the
base of the mounting assembly until it emerges from the hole in the back case. Make sure there is roughly 1.5’ - 2’ of wiring coming from
the switch box. Perform this task for both clocks. If installing IP clocks, run bare Ethernet wire without an RJ45 connector and install the
connector after it has been routed through the clock if possible (this will be much easier than running the wire with the connector on). If
not possible, make sure that there is no boot present in order for the connector to fit through the assembly. If you are using an Ethernet
bracket with the installation of IP clocks, the assembly of the clocks in steps 6 and 7 can be accomplished before mounting the assembly
to the wall in step 5 - making the overall installation more simple.
