LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide Step 1 - Mounting the Master The Master comes ready to surface mount on the wall. However, you can also install the Master in a standard 19" rack, recess the power supply into the wall or hide the power supply in the floor or ceiling and hang only the display unit on the wall with optional hardware.
LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide To surface mount the Master 1. Place the Master on its back with the display unit facing up and the keypad to the right 2. Remove the two screws from just above the display unit 3.

LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide Lowering the Display Unit during Testing With a Semi-Flush or Surface mount, you can hang the display unit below the back box when testing the Master and its circuits. To lower the display unit, remove the two screws that attach the display unit to the back box.
LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide Rack Mount The LTR8-512 and LTR8-512M come with two L-shaped brackets (optional on the LTR4-512) so you can install your Master in a standard 19-inch rack Power Supply Box Brackets Display Unit To install the Master in a 19-inch rack 1.
LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide 10. Remove the two screws from the side of the display unit 11. Using these same screws, attach an “L” bracket (or ear) 12. Repeat to attach the other ear 13. Mount the unit in the rack 14.

LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide We recommend using stranded wire inside the Power Supply Box. Stranded wire allows for a firm connection to the Quick Connect terminals. Stranded wires are also less likely to interfere with the relay board components. If you must use solid wire, join the stranded wire to the solid wire in another Note that applying 220/240 VAC power to a system not setup for that voltage level can severely damage its electronic parts Attach the supplied quick-connects to the wires as needed...

LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide Wiring Diagrams Type 14 - ELECTRONIC CODED CLOCKS Clocks run normally with 120 VAC power. For any bells or clock correction, the generator prestart relay (SK1) first turns on for the signal-generator to reach frequency. SK1 turns on at the 00 second after a programmed time or manual bell time.
Page 45
LTRx-512 Installation and User’s Guide Wiring Diagrams Clock correction and bell circuit operations are generated by sequentially applying various frequencies onto correction the 120 VAC. Each bell and clock correction circuit has its own frequency. Each bell and clock circuit has a receiver circuit that applies the associated bell or clock frequency (3510 Hz normally used clock signals).
