INTRODUCTION

The VIP-D425DS 4 Digit, 2.5 inch, VIP-D440DS
4 Digit, 4.0 inch, VIP-D625DS 6 Digit, 2.5 inch, and
VIP-D640DS 6 Digit, 4.0 inch Clock Displays enable
time indication, synchronization, and correction over
an IP-based LAN/WAN. This allows locating a clock
display anywhere on the network. Clock
synchronization is initiated via connection to any
NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. The enclosure
is made of steel with a durable powder coated
finish. The color of the enclosure can easily be
changed to match any décor. Power is provided to
the digital clocks via a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
switch meeting the 802.3af specification. Only one
network connection is required, supplying power
and data to both clock displays.

MOUNTING

The Digital Clocks have mounting holes predrilled in
the end and top of the housing, for use with the
included mounting bracket. Additionally, an
optional bridge adapter (model V-9914M-5) is
available for use with tile ceilings.

For ease of installation, the digital clock displays
should be removed from the housing before
mounting. Using Figure 1 as a guide, remove the
four screws holding the clock display to the
housing. Carefully pull the clock display away from
the housing, then remove the two wire connectors
from the back of the display. Using the same
process, remove the second cloc k display.

For end mounting, securely attach the mounting
bracket to the end of the clock housing using the
four screws and nuts provided. Refer to Figure 2
for details.

For top mounting with the included bracket, refer to
Figure 3. First, remove two screws holding the
blanking plate from the top mounting holes, and
reinstall the blanking plate to cover the end
mounting holes. Securely attach the mounting
bracket to the top of the clock housing using the
four screws and nuts provided.

For top mounting using the optional V-9914M-5
ceiling bridge, use the mounting instructions
provided with the bridge but do not cut the 8.5”
speaker hole in the ceiling tile. Instead, cut a 1”
hole centered within the bridge opening for the
network and seismic cables. Using appropriate
screws and nuts (not provided), attach the clock
housing to the V-9914M-5 bridge with the ceiling tile
between the bridge and the clock housing. Refer to
Figure 4.

Feed the network cable and seismic cable (if used)
through the cutout in the clock housing before
attaching to the wall or ceiling. Position the clock
housing in the final mounting location and securely
attach to the wall or ceiling with appropriate
fasteners through the four mounting holes in the
bracket.

Reinstall the clock displays into the clock hou sing,
using Figure 1 as a guide. Insert the RJ-45
connector into the network connection on the clock
display board as shown in Figure 5, then slide the
display onto the housing and secure with the four
screws removed previously. Pull the signal wires
through the housing and reattach to the second
clock display. The connectors are color marked,
and must be reattached to the matching connector
on the clock display. Make sure all wires are inside
the housing, then slide the second clock display
onto the housing. Secure with the four screws
previously removed.

Setup
