INSTALL CLASSIC SERIES DIGITAL CLOCK/TIMER

Installation Requirements

l Refer to the Important Safety Instructions before installing, operating or performing maintenance of clocks.

l Before installing a clock, verify the system transmitter is operating properly and sending a signal with adequate

building coverage (refer to the guide accompanying the transmitter). A transmitter with an internal antenna
broadcasts continuously and a transmitter with an external antenna broadcasts hourly from 39 minutes past the
hour to 6 minutes after each hour. Cycling the transmitter power off/on initiates an 8 hour continuous
broadcast.

l Clocks must be installed at a location within adequate transmission range of the transmitter.

l Verify the clock's settings have been configured before the clock is installed.

l Any damage to the clock due to improper wiring voids the warranty. It is at Primex Wireless discretion as to

whether damage to the clock was caused by improper wiring.

NOTE: When clocks are being installed or the signal is tested at the final installation location to verify the presence of

the transmitter signal in that area, push and IMMEDIATELY release the button and hang the clock in place. It
is very important not to hold the button down too long or the hands will proceed to the 12 o'clock position
and remain there indefinitely. To make the hands move again, wait until they have stopped, then press and
hold the button again. The clock will enter its normal set up procedure and set itself.

120VAC Wiring

Primex Classic and Levo Series Digital Clocks/Timers are shipped from the factory with either a plug or pigtail for
permanent installation. Pigtail installations require a 120V~ power line in a junction box installed by a licensed electrician.

NOTE: Leave a minimum of 6" (15 cm) of cord inside the junction box.

24VAC Wiring Guidelines- Digital Clocks/Timers

Primex Wireless Digital Clocks/Timers operate at a maximum current draw of 700mA (24VAC) and operate over a range of
20 - 26VAC.

For installations where 24VAC wiring exists, the gauge/length of the wire and rating for the supply transformer should be
verified to ensure adequate current supply and voltage for all connected devices.

For new installations, the supply wire gauge should be determined to ensure acceptable voltage drop based on installed
length from the supply transformer to most distant clock to ensure minimum voltage (20VAC) is assured.

24VAC Wiring

Follow all National and Local Building Codes when installing clocks.

1. Be sure the 24VAC wiring is routed through the cable hole in the rear of the clock.

2. If a back plate is used, feed the 24VAC wiring harness through the back plate and attach it to the clock.

PrimexWireless

3. Hang the clock/timer vertically on one of the mounting screws.

4. Connect the 24VAC wiring harness. Use two wire nuts, sized appropriately for the gauge of wire, to secure the
wires.

5. Finish hanging the clock/timer horizontally.

230 VAC Wiring Specifications

All 230 VAC clocks include a 9ʼ cord with a three pin earthed plug. If pigtail/hard wiring is required for the application
please refer to 230VAC Digital Clock Wiring.

l Receiver Sensitivity (Decode) > 110dBm

Surface-mount Installation

Complete the instructions below to install a digital clock/timer directly to the surface of a wall.

Installation

Mount the clock/timer directly to the wall with the two #10 screws and anchors (supplied). To determine the spacing of
the screws, see "Surface-mount Tilt Bracket Mounting Dimensions" on page 19.

NOTE: Most building codes prohibit the use of hard-wired power connections for devices that can be removed

without tools. Clock/timers mounted directly to a wall must have standard power plugs.

Surface-mount Wall Bracket Installation

Complete the instructions illustrated below to mount a digital clock/timer using the supplied tilt mount bracket.

l You may mount the tilt bracket directly to the wall with the four #10 screws and anchors (supplied). To

determine the spacing of the screws, see "Surface-mount Tilt Bracket Mounting Dimensions" on page 19.

l Hard-wired installation requires a 120V~ power line in a junction box installed by a licensed electrician. The tilt

bracket has a center pass-through hole for the 120V~ pigtail. If a junction box is present, the tilt bracket also has
mounting holes spaced to allow direct attachment of the tilt bracket to the cover plate screw holes on the

Antenna BNC Cable

The clocks/timers with a remote antenna are shipped from the factory with the 4.5 meters (15 foot) BNC cable attached to
the clock/timer assembly.

l The length of the 4.5 meters (15 feet) cable can be increased by adding cables and adaptors up to a maximum

recommended length of 13.7 meters (45 feet). The cable can be placed in any position, but the antenna must be
mounted vertically and away from metal objects. Unless it is very close to the transmitter, the powered clock will
not set to the correct time without the remote antenna connected.

l If the remote antenna is to be mounted several centimeters above the clock, and if the antenna cable is to be

concealed behind the wall, use a single gang electrical box to be mounted horizontally behind the clock. For a
straight vertical cable run, a minimum 1.27cm (.5“) electrical conduit should be used, coupled with the top side
of the electrical box.

l If 5m (16.5’) cable extension(s) is to be used, and the intent is to keep as much cable concealed as possible,

connect the extension(s) to the standard 4.5 meters (15’) antenna cable prior to running the cable into the
conduit.

l For a concealed cable run, a half-inch hole in the wall will need to be made close to where the remote antenna

bracket will be mounted. The antenna cable BNC plug has a straight vertical mate with the remote antenna
bracket.

Dual-mount Digital Clock/Timer Installation

A Dual-mount Digital Clock consists of two single-sided digital clocks and a bracket kit. The kit contains a flange (piece
that mounts to ceiling or wall), a bracket (piece that bolts to flange and to which two clocks are mounted), and the
hardware necessary to complete the installation. Using the kit, you combine the two single-sided digital clocks to create a
dual clock.

NOTE: The two clocks function independently of each other, requiring each clock’s settings to be configured

separately.

assembly.

17. Secure the clock using the four mounting holes located on the front of the clock and fasten to the wall mounting
surface (supplied).

Timer Control Switch Installation

l Mounting: The timer control switch must be mounted in a single-gang junction box (not supplied). The junction

box is typically 2¼” x 2¾” x 4” (5.7 cm x 7 cm x 10.2 cm).

l Timer Control Switch Connection: A RJ45cable (supplied) is required to be connected from the timer to the

timer control switch. The cable length can be extended up to 100' (30 m).

l Timer Wiring to Code Blue System: Wiring is determined by the code blue system as specified below.

l Code blue systems that apply a voltage to start a code blue event: wire the timer 4 pin connectors

RED (Positive Code Blue Input) and BLACK (Negative Code Blue Input) wires to the code blue
system. An input voltage of 5-120V (AC or DC) can be used. When using DC, be sure to use the
correct polarity; RED wire is positive and the BLACK wire is ground. Code Blue start/stop events are
triggered by the application of voltage across the code blue input wires.

DIGITAL CODE BLUE TIMER AND EL APSED TIMER OPERATION

The Code Blue Timer is a multifunction digital clock and timer that integrates with an existing facility Code Blue system to
effectively time each event. When a Code Blue event is invoked, a relay/pulse is sent from the Code Blue system to the
timer, which triggers it to begin counting up. If a Code Blue status is in effect, it will take priority and the timer’s previous
task will run in the background until the Code Blue function is stopped. A switch control allows the user to operate the
timer in multiple modes. In the event of a power outage the timer’s memory is backed up for up to eight hours.

A Digital Elapsed Timer accurately counts up or counts down to a maximum of 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, and
then capture and store event data for report generation. A switch control allows the user to run, hold, or reset the timer
when in elapsed or count down timer mode. When not in the elapsed timer mode, synchronized time is displayed.

Code Blue Timer Operation

l Upon receiving a code blue system input, the clock immediately enters code blue mode and starts counting up

from 00:00:00. Upon reaching 99:59:59, the code blue timer will beep for 3 seconds.

l Code blue mode is indicated by the colon, dash and decimal points not being lit (in both viewing and counting

modes).

l Any other counting events remain operational in the background.

l Time duration of the last code blue event is stored in memory, and can be viewed until a new code blue event is

triggered.

l A code blue count can be halted by pressing the STOP/START button. Pressing either DISPLAY or RESET is

ignored while in code blue mode.

l Triggering of the code blue input while a current code blue is counting will be ignored.

Elapsed Timer Operation

The timer has two states:

l Normal State: Controls the operation of the timer and is the text labeled on the top of the switch control

buttons. For additional information, see "Normal State - Timer Mode" located on page 32.

l Set State: Controls the setup of the timer and is the text labeled on the bottom of the switch control buttons.

For additional information, see "Set State - Timer Mode" located on page 33.

Normal State - Timer Mode

The Normal State consists of three modes: clock, count-up, and count-down. In this state, the text labeled on the top of
the switch control buttons are applicable (DISPLAY, STOP/START, RESET).

DIGITAL PROGRAMABLE TIMER OPERATION

The Programmable Countdown Timer counts down in minutes and seconds at a predefined schedule of timed events from
1 minute to 99 minutes 59 seconds. The countdown schedule and events are configured and managed using the Primex
Wireless Event Scheduler Pro Software and the schedule is downloaded to the system transmitter. For details on using the
software, please see the Event Scheduler Pro User Guide.

PrimexWireless

The timer will begin counting down at each preset time on schedule. When each countdown function is complete the
timer automatically displays the correct time, synchronized to every other clock on your Primex Wireless XR 72MHz/GPS
system. The Programmable Countdown Timer functions in much the same way as a standard digital clock.
