Page 14 SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Elapsed timer/Code Blue timer states An elapsed timer/code blue timer can be in one of three states: • Normal state • Set state • Power failure state (Code Blue timers only) Normal state controls the operation of the timer and is the text labeled on the top of the buttons in the illustration shown here. Set state controls setting up the timer and is the text labeled on the bottom of the buttons in the illustration shown here.
SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Page 15 Normal state In normal state, the clock/timer can be in one of four modes: • Clock mode • Count up mode • Count down mode • Code blue mode In Normal state, the text labeled on the top of the buttons is applicable (DISPLAY, STOP/START, RESET). The table below summarizes the results when each button is pushed while in a specified mode.
Page 16 SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Set state The set state is used for setting the count up default start time and the count down default start time. It is entered by holding the Reset button while in count up or count down modes. In this state, the text labeled on the bottom of the buttons is applicable (SET/CHANGE, INCREMENT, EXIT).

Page 22 SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide SNS digital clock/timer installation These clock/timers require either a standard CAT-5 network cable with an RJ-45 connector or access to an 802.11 b/g wireless local area network (WLAN). Primex Wireless SNS digital clock/timers and timers are shipped from the factory with either a three-prong grounded plug or pigtail for permanent installation. Pigtail installations require a 120V~ power line in a 4” x 4” junction box installed by a licensed electrician.
SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Page 23 Tilt-bracket clock/timer installation Hard-wired installations require a 120V~ power line in a 4” x 4” junction box installed by a licensed electrician. The tilt bracket has a center pass-through hole for the 120V~ pigtail. Note: The RJ-45 jack for the network cable is on the bottom of the clock/timer. Most building codes prohibit running network cables through the same junction box as line voltage.
Page 24 SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Direct wall-mount clock/timer installation Mount the clock/timer directly to the wall with two #10 screws and anchors (provided). See dimension D in the SNS digital clock/timer dimensions table for the spacing of the screws. Direct wall mounting Hook on screw head features 1/8" recommended spacing Note: Most building codes prohibit the use of hard-wired power connections for devices that can be removed without tools.
SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Page 25 Flush-mount clock/timer installation Follow these steps to install a flush-mount clock/timer: Step 3 Step 1 Step 3 Step 4 Step 7 Step 5 Faceplate Step 6 1. Prepare an opening using the following dimensions: 5.5”H x 14.25”W. 2. Inside the opening install an expandable fan brace bar between the wall studs.
Page 26 SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide 4. Connect the wires to the electrical box with the appropriate fittings. Then use a “U” clamp to attach the electrical box to the brace bar. Note: Leave enough extra wire length (armored cable) so that the electrical box can be wired in the 5.5”H x 14.25”W opening. 5. Connect the appropriate fitting to the clock/timer cord and then attach the fitting to the electrical box.
SNS™ Digital Clock/Timer User Guide Page 27 Timer control switch installation SNS elapsed timers and Code Blue timers include a control switch that must be mounted in a singlegang junction box (not included). These boxes are typically 2¼” x 2¾” x 4” (5.72cm x 6.99cm x 10.16cm). The switch’s wall plate cover is stainless steel. The switch’s buttons and wall plate cover may be cleaned with water and/or most common disinfectant.
