Weems and Plath Endurance User Manual

Instructions

Congratulations! You have purchased a
revolutionary new instrument that will provide many
years of enjoyment. Please read these instructions
carefully so that you will receive maximum
performance from this fine marine instrument.

ADDENDUM TO MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Note the rear diameter of your instrument. If mounting 2 or more
instruments side by side ensure the center points are;
A) apart by at least 1/2” more than the instrument rear diameter;
B) at least half the diameter (radius) plus 1” (25mm) below any

ceiling, shelf or other overhead obstruction; and

C) half the diameter (radius) plus 1/4” (6mm) above any lower shelf,

floor or table fixture.
Otherwise Slide ‘n Lock dovetail engagement cannot be made. If mixing
units of different sizes calculate horizontal center distance based on
the largest unit you intend to use.

2. Also ensure the center points are at least half the diameter (radius)
plus 1/4” (6mm) away from any side obstruction or corner.

3. If mounting 2 or more units vertically above one another, review items
1 & 2 (this section) regarding clearances to top, side and bottom.
Multiple center points must be at least one diameter plus 1/4”(6mm)
apart. If mixing units of different sizes calculate vertical center
distance based on the largest unit you intend to use.

Installation Instructions

1. With the instrument face downward on a clean soft surface or lap,
and with the 12 o'clock position of the instrument towards you, push
the rear molded black mounting plate of the Weems Slide 'n Lock
mounting system in a sliding motion away from you. This may require
some force to overcome the locking dimples.

2. Select the center point where you want to mount the instrument's
mounting plate on the wall or bulkhead. It is important that the mounting
surface be flat for at least a diameter of 8".

3. Lightly draw 2 lines, one horizontal and one vertical through the center
point you have selected. Each line should be about 5" to 6" long,
centered on the center point of the mounting plate.

IMPORT ANT: Please read Additional tip s section below
before continuing.

4. Place the mounting plate firmly on the center point ensuring that the
Weems & Plath logo and part number are upright. Align the 4 existing
recessed lines on the front face of the mounting plate with the pencil
lines previously marked on the wall or bulkhead.

5. Using a pointed tool or pencil, mark through 4 holes to position the
mounting screws on the wall surface.

6. Remove the mounting plate and drill the wall marks with a 3/32" or

2.00mm drill bit.

7. The mounting plate is designed with stepped mounting holes. The
smaller diameter facilitates accurate hole marking and avoids the
errors inherent in measuring or the use of a separate printed template.
The larger diameter is to receive the diameter of the screw thread.

8. As the screws are driven tight, the thin plastic forming the smaller
diameter hole will give way around the screw thread and form a tight
assembly.

9. Weems & Plath advises that on some wall materials such as
fiberglass, it is possible that the material around the drilled hole can
swell and displace forwards causing a volcano ridge around the
screw. This ridge will prevent the mounting plate from being screwed
tight to the wall. It is recommended after drilling the 4 holes that they be
countersunk creating a space to absorb any material displacement.

10. Secure the mounting plate in place with four No.8 round head stainless
steel Phillips screws supplied. These screws will displace the thin
plastic in the holes as they are driven home. Ensure the screws are
tight and the plate is firmly flat against the wall.

11. Place the instrument's back side above the mounting plate and position
on the vertical center line about ¾" (20.00mm) above the horizontal
center line and slide downwards to engage the dovetails.

12. When resistance is felt press firmly downwards to cause the Slide 'n
Lock dimples to clip into place. (This is the reverse of step 1 above.)
This will hold the instrument firmly in place to prevent it from moving or
dislodging.

13. To remove the instrument for safe storage, calibration, adjustment or
battery change, reverse steps 8 & 9 of the installation procedure.

Additional tips if mounting more than one instrument.

1. The rear diameter of each instrument is 6" (150mm). If mounting 2 or
more instruments side by side ensure the center points are; A) at least
6-1/2" (165mm) apart; B) at least 4" (100mm) below any ceiling, shelf
or other overhead obstructing coving; and C) 3-1/4" (82mm) above
any lower shelf, floor or table fixture, otherwise Slide 'n Lock dovetail
engagement cannot be made.

2. Also ensure center points are at least 3-1/4" (82mm) away from any
side obstruction or corner.

3. If mounting 2 or more units vertically above one another review items 1
& 2 (this section) regarding clearances to top, side and bottom. Multiple
center points must be at least 6-1/4" (170mm) apart vertically.

4. When mounting instruments to vertically oriented mounting plates,
install lower ones first and progress vertically.

5. When removing instruments on vertically oriented mounting plates,
demount top one first and progress downwards.

Quartz Clock Operating Instructions

1) Lift clock to disengage Slide 'n Lock system from wall.

2) Insert an alkaline battery in back of clock. Follow diagram on battery
housing to make certain battery is not put in backwards. Use only
alkaline batteries as they have longer life and are less prone to leak.*

3) To set the time, advance hour and minute hands by turning the knob on
the back of the movement counter-clockwise. To reverse, turn
clockwise.

4) If clock stops, it is most likely due to a dead battery. Remove the
battery immediately as it might leak acid causing damage to the
movement.*

5) If clock is to be left unattended for long periods of time, the battery
should be removed. Otherwise it could become dead and leak acid
causing damage to the movement.*

* Movement damage caused by battery leakage will void
warranty.

Quartz Clock Trouble Shooting

Clock will not A . Install fresh alkaline battery.
run properly B. Inspect battery contact points, remove

corrosion if present.

C. Call Customer Service at 1-800-638-0428.

Quartz DayClock® Operating Instructions

1) Lift clock to disengage Slide ‘n Lock system from wall.

2) Insert a “AA” alkaline battery in back of movement. Follow diagram on
battery housing to make certain battery is not put in backwards. Use
only alkaline batteries as they have longer life and are less prone to
leak.*

3) On movement at the back of the DayClock pull out small knob and
rotate day hand to either line of desired day, for AM setting select line
next to previous day, for PM setting select line next to following day.
Do not push knob in.

4) On movement at the back of the DayClock rotate large wheel to get the
hour and minute hand to 12. When both the hour and minute hands
are at 12, push in small knob for day hand.

5) Rotate large wheel clockwise for AM setting, counter clock wise for
PM settings.
