If reception fails after scanning all the channels initially, the second hand of the clock will double step from
the starting position of 12:00:00.
Once the clock receives the time signal from the transmitter, the clock sets its internal time and the hands
will adjust to GPS time. The channel frequency will be memorized and stored in nonvolatile ROM at that time.
The clocks receive updated GPS time data at 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, AM/PM every 24 hrs. When the clock does
not receive the signal, the second hand of the clock will double step, giving you a visual indicator of a
transmission problem at that location.
Protecting Your Transmitter
It is important that you protect the transmitter to ensure maximum life.
The following steps are recommended.
1. Place transmitter in an area that has little human traffic and a spot where it will not get damaged.
2. The room temperature should be standard room temperature, but the transmitter can handle normal
internal building temperature fluctuations.
3. It should not be stored against a metal cabinet or metal wall. The metal could prevent the transmitter
from achieving maximum output.
4. In environments that are prone to power outages, it is suggested to put transmitter on a
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system. This will protect the system from significant power spikes.
Like any other electronic device, a significant power surge could damage the circuitry.
5. Put the transmitter on a Monthly/Quarterly “maintenance” schedule. Visually inspect the transmitter
and make sure:
a. The transmitter is physically safe.
b. The unit has power.
c. The GPS LED is lit.
