2 Installation

the connection to the 110/230 V AC power network can only be done by authorized personnel with appropriate qualification and training; connect the cables always in unpowered state – otherwise the risk of electric shock exist; producer is not responsible for breakdowns caused by unsuitable clock mounting on the bearing surface;

2.1 Single-sided clock up to DSC.320

 assemble the wall mounting console if delivered disassembled;  drill at least four anchoring holes into the wall, of a diameter adequate to

appropriate screws, use the mounting console as a template;

 mount the console on the wall and put it into a fully tilted out position;  shift the clock body into the flipped out console arms and fix it by tightening the

screws;

 dismantle the back cover of connectors on the clock body; the cover incorporates

gap with sealings for passage of cables in the inside of he clock;

 arrange all cables to appropriate length and connect them to the appropriate

terminals on the PCB; see the description of the connectors and observe the correct polarity where necessary;

 fix the cables with the holder in correct positions in order to maintain regular

spacing between the cables in the area of passing through sealing; use appropriate force to not to damage the cables insulation;

 configure the Line type jumper according to used synchronisation signal (applies

only for DCF, MOBALine, Serial MOBATIME code, polarized impulse line or IRIG-B);

 mount back the connector cover;  tilt the clock into vertical position and fix the position of the console;

2.2 Single-sided clock DSC.500

 drill at least four anchoring holes into the wall, of a diameter adequate to

appropriate screws. As a template for marking the position of the holes use the wall console (mounting frame);

 mount the console to the wall using appropriate screws and dowels with respect

to the wall material;

 loosen the hanging M10 allen screws on console in order to be cca 6mm of

thread visible;

 prepare the cables and fix them on the wall in order to be placed behind the small

rectangular cover equipped with the sealed slot;

 hang the display body onto the console in order to fit four hanging screws into the

pear-shaped holes;

 using special key unlock (turn by 90° clockwise) the two locks on the bottom of

the frame and open the front window. Use the support to keep the front window opened;

 tighten four hanging screws using the allen key, the display is then fixed on the

wall;

 dismount the small rectangular cover on the bottom part of backpanel, pull all

cables through the opening and fix them by the metal bar. Mount the cover back.

Make sure the cables are evenly distributed in the fixing bar and in the sealed slot;

 arrange and cut the cables to the appropriate length. Strip the wires and connect

them to corresponding board terminals. Observe the right polarity where necessary;

 configure the Line type jumper according to used synchronisation signal (applies

only for DCF, MOBALine, Serial MOBATIME code, polarized impulse line or IRIG-B);

 apply the power and check if the display works correctly;  close the front window and secure it using two locks (turn by 90° anti-clockwise)

on the bottom of the display body frame;

 dismount the mounting eyes and screw-in the delivered covering allen screws;

2.3 Double-sided clock up to DSC.320

 the double-sided clock consists of the displaying (SLAVE) part, control

(MASTER) part and the wall side mounting console, both parts are linked via one cable;

 the clock is delivered as a one unit (both parts mounted on the console);  if the console has the bottom cover, remove it (5x screw M4) first, bottom cover is

attached to the console by steel wire (captive cover);

 unscrew locking screws and put clock parts into fully tilted out positions;  dismantle the back connector cover on the MASTER part; the cover incorporates

gap with sealings for passage of cables into the clock;

 disconnect the MASTER-SLAVE connecting cable;  release four allen screws on back side of the clocks and take out the both clock

parts from the console;

 drill appropriate number of anchoring holes in the wall for 10-12 mm dia. wood

screws, use the mounting console as a template;

 push all incoming cables (power, temperature, synchronization) through the

upper tube of the console and through he oval hole, then mount the console on the wall;

 put both sides into a fully tilted out positions;  hang the SLAVE part on one side of the console and tighten the four screws on

the back side of the clock part;

 hang the MASTER part on second side of the console and tighten the four

screws on the back side of the clock part;

 connect the MASTER-SLAVE cable;  arrange all incoming cables to appropriate length and connect them to the

appropriate terminals on the PCB; see the description of the connectors and observe the correct polarity where necessary;

 fix the cables with the holder in correct positions in order to maintain regular

spacing between the cables in the area of passing through sealing; use appropriate force to not to damage the cables insulation;

 configure the Line type jumper according to used synchronisation signal (applies

only for DCF, MOBALine, Serial MOBATIME code, polarized impulse line or IRIG-B);

 mount back the connector cover;  tilt the clock parts into vertical position and fix them by locking screws;  mount back the bottom cover if delivered;
