Wireless 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.
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 analog 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.
REFER TO THE ANALOG CLOCK MANUAL FOR DETAILED
INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Install the batteries in the analog 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.
4. Power the digital clocks and wait for the synchronization signal to go through the batter-powered
analog clock.
(
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.
