Add Master Clock Controlled CD Quality Tones or
Messages and Emergency Tones to Your Paging System
Viking's model CTG-2A is a networked clock controlled tone/message
generator designed to provide accurately timed tones and/or messages
over your existing paging system. This provides a cost effective way of
signaling school period changes, factory shifts, breaks, lunch periods,
etc. The CTG-2A has four programmable trigger inputs which are ideal
for triggering emergency alert tones/messages to indicate fire
evacuation, severe weather, lock down, all clear or can be used in store
caster applications for "customer service required" announcements, etc.
The CTG-2A can also be used as a master clock to synchronize Viking
CL Series wireless clocks (see DOD# 466).
The CTG-2A comes equipped with up to 6 minutes of CD quality WAV
file audio storage for up to 14 different tone/messages. The unit is
factory loaded with common school, business and factory tones but can
be programmed with your custom tones/messages or updated from the
list of WAV files from the Viking web site.
The CTG-2A can be programmed with up to 14 schedules and up to
1,000 events allowing you to program an entire year or multiple years
of schedules in advance. The CTG-2A's extremely accurate time base
can be manually synchronized, synchronized with 50 or 60 Hz power
or can be programmed to periodically synchronize to network or
internet time.

    The system is comprised of a CTG-2A master clock, a CL-RFT clock RF transmitter and Analog or Digital wireless slave clocks. Working on Viking’s 915-928MHz frequency hopping technology eliminates interference with other wireless...
  • Page 4 Tone Wave Files” application note, DOD# 898. Audacity can generate the required touch tones. Notes: 1. The CTG-2A can only play one tone/message at a time at the top of a minute. If multiple tones or messages must play at the same time, multiple CTG-2A’s must be used.
  • Page 5 The CTG-2A’s connection to the ZPI-4 depends on the source of the voice paging. If the source of voice paging is a paging port, the CTG-2A is wired as shown in Diagram 1. If paging from an unused trunk port, the CTG-2A is wired as shown in Diagram 2.
  • Page 6 (not included) Notes: 1. The CTG-2A can only play one tone/message at a time at the top of a minute. If multiple tones or messages must play at the same time, multiple CTG-2A’s must be used. 2. The CTG-2A is limited to 14 wave file memory locations. Playing tones/messages to many different zones or zone combinations will reduce the overall number of tones/messages that can be used.
  • Page 7 It resides in the device’s memory and is used by routers to send network traffic to the correct IP address. You can find the MAC address of your CTG-2A printed on a white label on the top surface of the network port.
  • Page 8 Note: The data in the “Notes” field is not used by the CTG-2A and is only stored in the dat file for the convenience of the user. If the dat file is lost and a download is performed, all “Notes” will be blank.
  • Page 9: System Requirements

    Before using the CTG-2A, the CTG-2A application must be installed. A DVD is included with each CTG-2A. The DVD contains the CTG-2A application used to program the unit using a PC running Windows XP or newer OS (see System Requirements above).
  • Page 10 Missing Wave Files: If the CTG-2A does not have a wave file in its internal memory that is required by the PC dat file you have open, “Missing Wave Files” will be highlighted in red. To upload the missing wave file to the CTG-2A, open the drop...
  • Page 11 Load All: In the “Tools” drop down menu, selecting “Load All” will upload all the wave files from the currently open “Audio” screen into the correct memory locations in the CTG-2A. Note: To load all the wave files from the currently open dat file, click “Open”...
  • Page 12 “Period 2 Start”, “Lunch End”, “Shift 3 Start”, etc. The “Notes” field is only used for the convenience of the user and is stored in the PC dat file. The CTG-2A does not make use of this information. Note: The first character in the “Note” field should NOT start with a number as it will right justify the text.
  • Page 13 Calendar: Clicking the “Calendar” button in the “Event Programming” screen will open the “Calendar” programming screen where you can select which schedule you would like the CTG-2A to run on which days during the year. This is programmable out to the year 2098 allowing you to program multiple years in advance if required. Simply select a preprogrammed schedule and click on the dates you would like that schedule to run.
  • Page 14 Run: Click this button to exit PC programming and place the CTG-2A in run mode. Simply press the “Run” button, select the desired fixed schedule or Automatically Switch Schedules and press “Start”. Note: If you are starting the CTG-2A during a preprogrammed time for “System Disable” or “Aux Relay On”, check the appropriate boxes then click “Start”.
  • Page 15 +/- 63 seconds per year without NTP clock sync. Note: This accuracy can be greatly increased with periodic NTP Synchronization or periodic manual clock corrections. With AC Line 50 or 60 Hz selected the CTG-2A will base its time off the AC voltage powering the unit. The clock accuracy will then follow the power company fluctuations. This can be...
  • Page 16 “Clock” screen. Note: Clicking “Upload” will send clock time and all other parameters in the “Clock” screen. PC Time: Clicking this will use the current time and date from your PC to set the time and date in the CTG-2A’s internal memory.
  • Page 17 1. If you open the PC software with a CTG-2A connected, occasionally a communications error will occur between the PC and the CTG-2A and a message will pop up saying the CTG-2A is missing some of its wave files, when they are not missing. If you get this type of error message, close the software and re-open it.
  • Page 18: Push Button Programming

    Push Button Programming The push buttons on the front of the CTG-2A are limited to allow you to program only the following functions: Set time, Set Schedule, Force a NTP Clock sync, Turn the unit ON (RUN) or OFF. See PC programming for all other functions.
  • Page 19: Operation

    CTG-2A will only run that schedule and will not change schedules until reprogrammed. The CTG-2A will now display the current time with a flashing colon and light the “RUN” LED. When placed in the “RUN” mode the CTG-2A is now ready to play and/or activate the next scheduled event.
