Synchronization System Setup (ctd.)
System Option 1
No clocks are being used for transmission. This option should only be taken if the user already has a main
high-powered transceiver and as many repeaters as needed to cover the premises. There are two methods
for setting up a system that uses this option:
Method A: Transceivers or repeaters are synchronized wirelessly to the main transceiver.
1. Place the main transceiver in a central location, like a hallway, where the signal will not be blocked.
2. Pick the location for a secondary transceiver or repeater.
3. Place the secondary transceiver or repeater in a location where it can receive the signal from the
main transceiver.
4. Power up the main and secondary transceivers. Within five minutes, the secondary transceiver
should be showing the time of the main transceiver. If the secondary transceiver is failing to
synchronize, install it closer to the main transceiver.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with all additional transceivers or repeaters. Note that other transceivers or
repeaters can receive signals from a properly synchronized secondary transceiver/repeater, not just
the main transceiver/repeater.
System Option 2
Battery powered clocks are used as transceivers/repeaters. This option assumes that there is at least one
high powered transceiver in range of enough of the clocks and that the clocks can repeat the signal to all
other clocks in the system.
Either follow the previous instructions listed under “Manually setting a connection between two or more
Valcom Wireless clocks”, or perform the following steps:
1. Install the batteries in the clocks while close to the main transceiver.
2. After each clock has received a signal from the transceiver and adjusted to the main transceiver
time, place the battery cover back on.
3. Take each clock, while the clock is running, to the planned point of installation and mount the
clock on the wall.
(
NOTE:
This method does not confirm that the clocks are in range of each other)
System Option 3
Locally powered clocks are used as transceivers/repeaters. This option assumes that there is at least one
high powered transceiver in range of enough of the clocks that the clocks can repeat the signal to all other
clocks in the system.
In this state, locally powered Wireless clocks will enable their receivers at all times, and will transmit time
data once each minute.
