Section 1: Introduction to Inova OnTimeTM Digital Clocks

The Inova OnTime technology to the marketplace in a real-time synchronized system of clocks.

PoE is an exciting and relatively new technology that allows devices to get both power and data over standard network cabling. It’s the same technology that powers Voice over IP phones. Delivering both data and power over one set of wires simplifies installation, saves space, and eliminates the need for electrical outlets at the clock mounting locations. Additionally, the option of centralized UPS backup allows PoE devices to continue running even in the event of a power failure.

Note: The local area network must support IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet in order for the PoE clocks to operate.

Section 4: Unpacking and Installation

The OnTime Digital Clock arrives fully assembled in a single package. Inspect the clock and report any damage to Inova Solutions, Inc.

Once you have removed and inspected the clock, you have several mounting options to consider. The procedures for surface mounting, pendant mounting, and cantilever mounting are included on the following pages.

Surface Mounting

The following is a recommended procedure for surface mounting. No mounting kit is required.

1. Determine the clock mounting location.

2. Mark two points 10” (25.4 cm) apart, level, and centered on the data cable outlet.

3. Insert two flat-head fasteners suitable for the wall surface at the marked points and tighten.

4. Withdraw the fasteners until there is a 1/16” (.16cm) gap between the mounting surface and

the back of the fastener head.

5. Insert the data cable into the jack located at the back of the OnTime Digital Clock.

6. Position the keyhole slots located on the rear of the clock over the fastener heads.

7. Pull the clock slightly downward until the unit is seated.

Pendant Mounting – Single or Double

The following is a recommended procedure for pendant mounting. This procedure requires a mounting kit – Model ONTKIT - and some additional hardware.

Figure 1: Pendant Mounting

1. Determine the clock mounting location.

The illustration above suggests a recommended mounting means for a pendant mount of one or more OnTime Digital Clock. Supplement the ONTKIT with two suitable locknuts and a length of ¾ “ 1.905 cm) pipe or conduit.

2. Mark the location where the clock assembly is to be mounted, making sure that the

mounting means is located beneath the data cable outlet.

3. Assemble and tighten the locknuts and pipe length as shown above.

4. Insert about 10 to 12 inches (30 cm) of data cable through the center hole of the mounting

kit. Securely attach the mounting means using fasteners suitable for the surface.

5. Lift an OnTime Digital Clock into position and insert the data cable into the jack located on

the back of the clock.

6. Position the keyhole slots located on the rear of the clock over the mounting tabs.

7. Pull the clock slightly downwards until the unit is seated.

8. Repeat for the second clock if two clocks are being installed back-to-back.

Cantilever Mounting – Single or Double

The following is a recommended procedure for cantilever mounting. This procedure requires a mounting kit, Model ONTKIT.

Figure 2: Cantilever Mounting

1. Determine the clock mounting location.

2. Using the template provided, mark the location where the clock is to be mounted, making

sure the center is located over the data cable outlet.

3. Join the Ethernet Clock Mount (Inova p/n 714755) and the Ethernet Clock Cantilever Wall

Mount (Inova p/n 714756) using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a 3/8” (.952 cm) wrench. Make sure that the 2 washers are fitted between the Clock Mount and the Cantilever Wall Mount. Refer to the illustration below.

Figure 3 - Mounting Kits

4. Insert 10 to 12 inches (30 cm) of data cable through the center hole of the mounting unit.
