MODEL 1073A QUICK SETUP GUIDE

Introduction

This document covers the basics of getting the Model 1073A unpacked, installed and running.
For complete details covering the Model 1073A, please consult the operation manual available for
download from www.arbiter.com, or purchase a printed copy through Arbiter Sales.

Unpacking

Several accessories included with the clock are located inside the packing material. A rack-mount
kit (AS0028200) accompanies every Model 1073A, and versions with Option 07 power inlet have
a power cord for the specific country. Inlet Option 08 and 10 do not come with a power cord and
must be wired directly.

Attaching Mounting Hardware

Each rack-mount ear is attached with two M5x10 mm pan head screws; one rack-mount ear on each
side of the clock. To mount them, first remove the two pan head screws securing the clock cover on
one side of the clock. Place a rack-mount ear against that side of the clock, as show below. Insert
the two screws on that side of the clock and tighten. Repeat with the other rack-mount ear on the
opposite side.
