Installation & Operation Manual
1 Introduction
TimeMachines Precision Clocks (TMPCs) provide an accurate synchronized time source. TMPCs use Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to make installation and setup as clean and simple as
possible. Connecting the clock to a PoE enabled Local Area Network (LAN) Ethernet drop is all that needs to be done.
2 Installation
2.1 PoE Connection
TMPCs require connection to a PoE enabled LAN. There are two ways of going about this, one is to have a PoE switch
and the other is to have a PoE injector. PoE injectors are offered through TimeMachines as an accessory.
2.2 Network
Beyond connecting to a PoE enabled LAN, nothing else is required to get TMPCs up and running. IP, Netmask, Gateway,
and DNS addresses are all setup using Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by default. Static addresses may
be assigned by accessing a configuration web page. The default time server is set to nist1-chi.ustiming.org but can be
changed using the configuration web page. These processes are described with further detail in the Configuration section.
2.3 Mounting
TMPCs may be surface mounted, rack mounted, or in a dual mount bracket (using two clocks).
Required tools: hammer, drill, 1/4” drill bit, screwdriver and pencil. Mounting options are optional.
2.3.1 Surface Mounting to Drywall
1. Mark the holes to be drilled based on the spacing of your specific clock. 12.5 inch centers for the 2.5 inch digit
clocks as well as the 4 inch by 4 clocks, and 16 inches for the 4 inch 6 digit clock.
2. With a 1/4” drill bit, drill through the two marks.
3. Insert an anchor into each of the 2 holes using a hammer.
4. Insert a screw into each anchor leaving a 1/16-1/8 inch gap between the head of the screw and the mounting
surface.
5. Connect the network cable to the back of the clock.
6. Place the keyhole slots on the back of the clock over the screws and secure it into place.
2.3.2 Rack Mounting
1. Attach an ear to each side of the clock.
2. Attach clock to rack.

2.3.3 Dual Clock Mount Bracket
Materials Needed:
1. Two TimeMachines clocks of the same size
2. One Dual Mounting Bracket (760-265-000, 760-445-000 or 760-465-000)
3. 3/4” pipe, elbows, flange. Depending upon how you want to mount the clock determines what pipe lengths and
fittings you will need. The Dual Mounting Bracket accepts any 3/4” tubing with NPT (National Pipe Threads)
threads on the ends. This product is available through local hardware stores or large national chain stores.
4. Ethernet cables long enough to run from the PoE injector or PoE router/switch to the clock through the 3/4” pipe.
When threading the cables through the pipe it is recommended that you run both cables at the same time – one in
front of the other.
How to mount two clocks in the dual mount bracket:
1. Take two TimeMachines clocks and match where the notch is on the display cover – this is where the Ethernet
cables will enter into the clock displays. The Dual Mount Bracket can be placed on the bottom or on the top of the
clocks. If needed, the display can be inverted so that the cables can run through the bracket and down into the
backside of each clock.
2. At the ends of the clocks, leave the screws out about ¼” so that they can be inserted into the key holes on the
Dual Mount Bracket.
3. BEFORE you mount the clocks into the bracket, run two Ethernet cables through all pipes and fittings that will be
used to hang the clocks. Connect the cables to the clocks and then mount the clocks into the bracket.
4. Secure the bracket to the clocks by tightening the screws on the ends of the bracket into the clock.
5. Begin to tighten the pipe into the bracket. Start from the pipe/Dual Clock Bracket connection out to the
connections for the wall or ceiling.
6. Secure the entire fixture to the wall or ceiling.
7. Connect the Ethernet cables.
8. Power up the PoE injector.
