Manually initiate a signal search
You can verify that a clock is receiving a signal at its install location. This is completed by initiating a manual signal
search locally at the clock, which resets the clock.
1.
Before you begin, verify the main Transmitter is transmitting (broadcasting) and is not in an error state. This allows
the clock to receive a signal, either directly from the main or a repeater Transmitter.
2.
From the back of the clock, press and release the red button. You can also remove and reinsert its batteries.
When clocks are being installed or signal tested, it's very important not to hold the button down too long or the
hands will proceed to the 12 o'clock position and remain there indefinitely. If this should happen, remove its
batteries and wait 10 seconds, and then re-insert the batteries. The clock will self initialize and set to the correct
time.
The clock emits a double-beep and the clock begins to search for a signal from the Transmitter. The clock emits
subsequent beeps to indicate its signal strength as described below. Also, when a signal is received the clock will
reset its time.
Clock signal strength indicator:
• If a signal is received: clock emits a beep once per second, for one minute, every time a valid packet is decoded.
The clock hands automatically adjust to the correct time.
• If the clock is in a marginal signal area: the clock emits a beep once every few seconds. Battery operated
models will work in marginal signal areas, but may result in reduced battery life.
• No beeping: indicates a signal is not received from the Transmitter
Manually initiate hand alignment check
You can also initiate a manual hand alignment check by completing the following steps.
1.
Press and hold the button on the back of the clock for 3 seconds until it beeps.
2.
The hands begin to move at an accelerated speed until all three hands align at the 12 o'clock position. The hands
stop in this position to confirm the hands are all properly aligned.
3.
The hands remain in this position until the button is again held down for 3 seconds. Press and hold the button for 3
seconds for a second time; the clock enters the self initialization procedure.
4.
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds for a second time; the clock enters the self initialization procedure.
