PYRAMID WIRELESS ANALOG CLOCKS USER GUIDE Table of Contents Overview . 1 Installation . 1 Specifications . 2-3 Regulatory . 4 Accessories . 5 Technical Support . 6 Warranty . 6 2008 Pyramid Technologies, LLC All Rights Reserved PYRAMID WIRELESS ANALOG CLOCKS USER GUIDE OVERVIEW INSTALLATION This Product is part of a centrally controlled messaging system. 1. Choose a location for the Clock (always indoors in a dry location). A typical system consists of one or more servers that transmit time and other informa-
tion in wired or wireless format. The servers can synchronize to various time standards. The servers can get their time from other Pyramid servers, NTP via the Internet, your Intranet, and GPS. The servers transmit data wired or wirelessly to various devices including, but not limited to:
DEVICE Analog Clocks Digital Clocks Message Boards Time Recorders Bell Systems RECEIVES DATA WIRED OR WIRELESSLY Time Time, Date, FirE, Code Blue Time, Date, Informational and Emergency Messages Time, Date, Setup Information Bell Signaling
(NOTE: In some installations, receivers with a transmitter option may be enabled to become low power repeaters.) 2. If line is powered, it should be hardwired into a standard 1 or 2 gang electrical back box by a qualified electrician. 3. The optional mounting brackets have holes that align with the back box to facilitate direct attachment. There are several mounting bracket options:
- Tamperproof Surface Wall Mount Part #42326 Bracket
- Tamperproof Back-to-Back Ceiling Part #42319 Mount Bracket
- Tamperproof Back-to-Back Wall Mount Bracket Part #42318
- Simplex compatible Surface Mount Kit Part #42323
(NOTE: Instructions for these brackets are included in the bracket kit. See the printed mounting template for details. If no bracket is used, the clock can be surface mounted with 2 #8 screws inserted into the keyhole slots in back.) 1 PYRAMID WIRELESS ANALOG CLOCKS USER GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS RECEIVER:
