Operational - Valcom V-AW12A Installation Manual

Operational Instructions
Important: We highly recommend installing the main transceiver before the installation of the V-AW12A
and V-AW16A clocks.
In order to install the clock, simply remove the battery cover, and install two (2) D cell batteries (recommended battery type: Duracell PROCELL).
After installation of the battery, replace the battery cover and the clock should start correcting within five (5) minutes.
Normal Mode/Economy Mode
The V-AW12A and V-AW16A clocks have two different modes in which they will operate. Normal mode allows the clock to transmit/receive every
two (2) hours. This mode will allow the clock to have a 5 year battery life (provided good reception). Economical mode allows the clock to transmit/
receive every four (4) hours. This mode will allow the clock to have a 8 year battery life (provided good reception).
Normal mode is defaulted when shipped from the factory.
To toggle this mode, push and release the Diagnostic Switch and the Transmit/Receive switch simultaneously. If 5 year mode is selected, the LED will
be solid RED for one minute and the second hand will go to 5 (25 seconds). If 8 year mode is selected, the LED will be solid GREEN for one minute and
the second hand will go to 8 (40 seconds).
IMPORTANT: If a clock is being added to an existing system, it must be in normal mode.
Installation Options
There are three ways to operate V-AW12A and V-AW16A Wireless Clocks. The user can choose any of the combinations listed below, or any
combination of the three.
Option #1:
There is a main high powered transceiver in the building and repeaters as needed to cover the entire premise. In this option, the system does not
depend on the clock for transmission.
Option #2:
There is at least 1 high powered transceiver in the building and in order to cover the entire premise, the battery operated clocks are used as
transceivers/repeaters.
Option #3:
There is at least 1 high powered transceiver in the building and in order to cover the entire premise, the power (24V or 110V) operated clocks are used
as transceivers/repeaters.
Option #4:
In a campus-environment, there is either 1 high powered transceiver and the clocks and repeaters are used to send the signal from building to
building, or there is a transceiver in each building in the campus.
