Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best location for the Repeater to be mounted?

Usually, the hallway is the best location because it is mostly open space in typical applications.

How far can the Repeater transmit the wireless signal?

The Repeater can transmit up to 2000 meters in open space.

Will the Repeater have interference from cordless or cellular phones?

No, because with Valcom’s innovative frequency-hopping technology, interference will not occur.
The repeater switches frequencies automatically when the receiver and transmitter is open, thus in­terference is avoided.

How do I know if the Repeater is receiving the wireless signal?

On the small circuit board standing vertical on the larger board, there are two LEDs. When the Re­peater gets the wireless signal from the Transceiver, the LED to the left will flash one time.

Can analog wireless clocks be combined with digital wireless clocks?

The analog and digital wireless clocks are designed to work together, whether the clocks are running
on battery (analog wireless clock only), 24 volts or 110 volts.

My power source is 220 volts. Can the Repeater be powered on that voltage?

Yes, the Transceiver can work on 110 volts/60 Hz or 220 volts/50 Hz.

How do you make the Repeater a Transmitter?

With the repeater powered down, switch both jumpers from repeater to transmitter. Then connect
the Valcom digital output of any Valcom Master Clock to the Valcom Digital input on the repeater,
4 & 5.

The clocks aren’t receiving the signal. What should I do?

Make sure that the Repeater is in a place where the signal can be transmitted in open space.

What should I do if the Repeater is not powering up?

Measure the voltage between pins 1 & 3. The voltmeter should read 85 - 135 VAC between
the hot and the neutral.

FCC Wants You to Know

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de­vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a commercial installation. This equipment gener­ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip­ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter­mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter­ference by one or more of the following measures:

a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
c) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different
from which the receiver is connected.

d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

FCC WARNING

Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user authority to oper-

ate the equipment under FCC Rules.

Note: For precautionary measures, FCC recommends a distance of 10cm from the clock to con­stant human physical exposure.
