LTRx-512 Installer’s Guide
Welcome
This Installer’s Guide covers three different Master Clocks. The LTR4-512, the LTR8-512
and the LTR8-512M. All three units are installed and programmed in similar fashions. The main
difference between the three units is the LTR4-512 has 4 circuits that can be programmed to ring
bells or activate circuits for up to 99 seconds and/or synchronize the time on two types of clock
systems (any clock systems types listed in Appendix B, plus RS-485 time sync devices). The
LTR8-512 and LTR8-512M have 8 circuits that can be programmed to ring bells or activate
circuits for up to 99 seconds and/or synchronize the time on three types of clock systems (any two
clock system types listed in Appendix B, plus RS-485 time sync devices). You can program up to
512 events to activate a single or multiple circuits on a given day and time. The LTR8-512 and
LTR8-512M can also connect to a PC running Microsoft Windows using the optional LTR
MasterLink software. The LTR8-512M has a built in Modem capable of communicating with the
PC or for synchronizing with the NIST Atomic Clock.
Unless otherwise specified, LTRx-512 refers to all units. Information that applies to specific
units will be noted.

Mounting the Master
The Master comes ready to surface mount on the wall. However, you can also install the Master
in a standard 19" rack, recess the power supply into the wall or hide the power supply in the floor
or ceiling and hang only the display unit on the wall with optional hardware.
A qualified electrician who understands the electrical code in your area should install your Master.
The installation should not require any special tools, but may require extra hardware, wire, etc. as
required by your local electrical code.

Wiring the Master
•
Wire the display panel and power relay units for bell control and clock synchronization. Refer
to the diagrams in Appendix D for more details. Until you complete this part of the wiring,
do not turn on the AC power to P4, and keep the power/relay unit’s toggle switch
turned “OFF” (Note: The LTR4-512 does not contain Terminal Block P3)

LTRx-512 Installer’s Guide
•
Your Master is already setup for 120VAC operation. If you need to wire it for 220/240VAC,
change the jumper settings as shown in the drawings above
•
We recommend using stranded wire inside the Power
Supply Box. Stranded wire allows for a firm connection to
the Quick Connect terminals. Stranded wires are also less
likely to interfere with the relay board components. If you
must use solid wire, join the stranded wire to the solid wire
in another box
•
Note that applying 220/240 VAC power to a system not
setup for that voltage level can severely damage its
electronic parts
•
Attach the supplied quick-connects to the wires as needed
•
Plug the quick-connects into the terminal block, as shown in the drawings above. Failure to
properly connect the ground wire can increase interference and cause unsafe operating
conditions
•
While the Master is fused internally to protect its electronics, you must also fuse the incoming
AC line as required by your local electrical code. You should connect the unit to a dedicated
10 Amp circuit. You may need to add external MOV’s or diodes to sync a specific clock type
– see Appendix D for the wiring diagram of your type clock. Appendix C shows wiring
diagrams for bell circuits and communications
•
Complete any mounting steps in the previous chapter before turning on the power supply
•
Turn the toggle switch in the power supply to the “ON” position. The display may show the
message SYSTEM RECOVERY IN PROGRESS" for about 2 minutes, then you will see the
date and time
•
Fasten the cover to the power supply
EXTERNAL PULSE-SYNC
Your Master can synchronize to other systems if needed. For example, you have a
non-compatible time clock that the Master cannot synchronize, but it has a built-in bell ringer.
By shorting terminals 7 & 8 on terminal block P1, or terminals 6 & 7 of the communications
terminal on the back of the display unit, the Master will immediately reset to 00:00 (midnight).
If you can program the other device to close its circuit at 00:00 (Midnight) then the two
systems will remain reasonably in sync. WARNING: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THESE
CONNECTIONS – only close the circuit for a short time (Duration must be at least 1, but not
more than 2 seconds)

LTRx-512 Installer’s Guide
Setting up the Master
If you will use the Master to sync clocks, you must first use relays #7 & #8 (terminal block
P1) for synching. If you have an LTR8-512 or LTR8-512M and will use a second clock
type, you must use relays #5 & #6 (terminal block P2) for those clocks
Bell
Zone #1
Relay #1 Relay #2 Relay #3 Relay #4 Relay #5 Relay #6 Relay #7 Relay #8
---Clock Sync #2--- ---Clock Sync #1---
Here are some suggested ways to program your Master’s relays:
1. Eight (8) bell zones that can last from 1 second to 99 seconds. Use this setup if your
Master will not synchronize secondary clocks.
2. Six (6) bell zones and one electro-mechanical wall clock sync control. Use this setup if
your Master will sync only one type of clock in one string.
3. Four (4) bell zones and two electro-mechanical wall clock sync controls. Use this setup if
you will synchronize two clock types, or if you have two strings of clocks (typically 20 to
35 clocks to a string).
The steps below lead you through getting the Master up and running.
