15. Insert and tighten the two (2) top plate side retaining screws (one on each
side).
16. Replace the upper cover of the Auto-Sync Time Clock (see Figure 2-2).
17. Connect the clock Ethernet cable to a network connection (AC power no longer
required when equipped with the PoE option).
NOTE: After installing the PoE with FPR and connecting the unit to a network
connection for the first time, the PoE may require up to 24 hours to fully
charge the battery pack, but the unit can be immediately used. You must
keep the clock plugged into the network during normal operation to
maintain a continuous charge. The power reserve battery is designed to
provide additional power for printing during normal operation.
NOTE: For units with the PoE/FPR option, disconnect the FPR battery pack cable
connector if the Auto-Sync Time Clock will not be plugged into a PoE
terminal for an extended amount of time. Leaving the battery pack
connected without charging for a long time could promote battery harm and
damage to the clock.
NOTE: For units with the PoE/FPR option, leaving the Auto-Sync Time Clock
unplugged from a PoE terminal or without power for more than 24 hours
may create a problem with the clock starting up (you will see “low bat”
briefly appear in the display). In this instance, the clock should be started
with the battery pack cable disconnected and the clock plugged into a PoE
terminal. Wait until the clock starts up, or displays the time, then the
battery pack cable can be reconnected and it will charge. During this time,
it is recommended to wait for 24 hours before printing.
2.7. Normal Startup Sequence
During power up, the clock will flash “boot”, then sequentially display the IP
address twice, and complete the startup sequence with a display of the time
(Hours:Minutes:Seconds) with a flashing colon. IMPORTANT - if the clock cannot
make a network connection it will flash 0.0.0.0 for the IP Address. If this happens
please verify that the clock is connected to the network!
Normally, within a minute or two after the clock has been connected to a network
and plugged in, the clock will connect to a time server and perform a Startup Time
Sync. The correct time will appear in the display after a successful time sync. If the
clock CANNOT perform a successful STARTUP SYNC, six day indicators (cursors) will
flash, while the day indicator associated with the current day of the week will not
flash.
