Overview of the Primex ClassicSync Solution Learn how the solution works and how the system devices provide synchronized time. Architecture The Primex ClassicSync solution provides synchronized time using our 72-73 MHz unique broadcast frequency to transmit a wireless signal to all system devices. The frequency allows the system wireless signal to broadcast through common building materials and across longer distances with less potential for signal interference.
5. If the RTC clock is off significantly, the Transceiver it enters a critical error state, its front panel LED Error status indicator is illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in. Only occurs after the first 30 minutes of operation if the RTC continues to be significantly off. Transceiver power failure During a power failure, the Transceiver continues to track time with the last valid time signal that it received.
Specifications Primex OneVue Transmitters use a 72-73 MHz broadcast frequency to transmit a wireless radio frequency to seamlessly synchronize every clock and independently to display the exact same time. Leveraging the precision of GPS satellite or Network Time Protocol (NTP) time, the Transmitters wirelessly synchronize time with Primex 72-73 MHz analog and digital clocks, timers and other receivers throughout a facility.
Parameter User-defined Specification Legacy Clock Time Zone, Alarm Delay, Firmware, Unresponsive Timeout, and Check-in Interval. settings (OneVue Sync software) Front Panel Four LED status indicators (Power, Transmit, Caution, Error) and Bluetooth labeled push-button to pair Transceiver with the Primex OneVue Device Configurator (ODC) app. Rear Panel Network LAN port (RJ-45 Ethernet, 100/10 Mbps, 802.
Specifications: GPS Receiver A GPS Receiver draws time information from the U.S. Government Satellites, providing the system with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). l Mounted to rooftop, pole, or window (not a Low-E glass window). l GPS Receiver sends UTC time to the Transceiver via the NMEA 0183 standard protocol. Optional GPS extension cable. A specially designed low-resistance cable to extend the distance between GPS Receiver and Transceiver. The maximum total length of the cable cannot exceed 200 ft.
Specifications: Ground plane omnidirectional antenna A Primex Transceiver's external antenna is a heavy duty, light weight ground plane antenna designed to be mounted outdoors. l Designed for mounting to a 1.25 in. (3.17 cm) rigged galvanized conduit. l Best operation is obtained when the ground plane rods are above all objects. Parameter Specification 68–80 MHz Gain 0 dBd Impedance 50 ohms VSWR <1.
Install OneVue Transceiver with External Antenna Leveraging the precision of GPS satellite or Network Time Protocol (NTP) time, OneVue Transmitters wirelessly synchronize time for analog and digital clocks, timers and other Repeater Transmitters throughout a facility. Before you begin l l l Review the Installation Guidelines and identify the installation location of the Transceiver and system components.
l External antenna must be located at least 10 ft. (3 m) from normal traffic area. l External antenna mast must be located within 10 ft. (3 m) from earth ground. l External antenna cannot be placed on or directly adjacent to walls or metal structures. l External antenna cannot be located near television receiving antennas. l External antenna cannot be mounted indoors or in enclosed areas. l External antenna cannot be mounted to pre-existing antenna towers.
Step 3: Secure antenna to mast 1. Attach and fasten the antenna channel side base to the top of the 1 inch rigid galvanized conduit section. 2. Use a 1/2 inch wrench to tighten the nuts on both of the U-bolts, both evenly and securely. To ensure it's secure, tighten the second nut to the first nut. Step 4: Route antenna LMR 400 coaxial cable 1. Drill a 1 in. (2.54 cm) hole through an exterior wall of the building that is in close proximity to the antenna installation location. 2.
Description Qty Frame rail (short): 28 ¼ in. (71.75 cm) 4 Grounding Clamp 1 Long carriage bolt 1 Short carriage bolt 11 Flat washers 12 Lock nuts 12 Assemble non-penetrating antenna roof mount 1. Verify the kit contents. AF T 2. Assemble the outer frame by laying the two long frame rails parallel to each - approximately 30 in. (76.2 cm) apart. 3. Insert a short carriage bolt from the bottom at each frame rail end, pointing skyward (4 total). 4.
Penetrating antenna kit The penetrating antenna kit contains the materials required to mount the antenna to a wooden pole or masonry wall. A 5/8 in. (1.58 cm) diameter mounting hole is required and the maximum diameter of the pole or wall thickness is 14 in. (35.56 cm). Description AF T The kit is supplied with the following parts. If any items are missing, contact Primex. Qty 1 Rigid galvanized conduit insert: 5 ft. x 1 in. 1 Antenna mounting clamp 2 Hex head bolt: 1/2 in. D Bolt washer: 1/2 in.
3. Remove the nut and washer from the 14 inch threaded rod. 4. Drill a 5/8 in. hole through the top of an exterior wall. 5. Insert the 14 in. threaded rod through the hole in the wall. If the thickness of the wall is greater than 10 in. a longer rod may be required. Different lengths of rod are available at hardware stores. If a longer threaded rod is needed, use a 5/8”-11 threads per inch rod. 6. Place the nut and metal plate over the rod. 7.
The kit is supplied with the following parts. If any of these items are missing, please contact Primex. Description Qty 1 Rigid galvanized conduit section: 5 ft. x 1 in. 1 X style clamp 2 U-clamp 4 1/2 inch all thread bolt 4 1/2 inch lock washer 16 1/2 inch hex nut 16 AF T Rigid galvanized conduit section: 5 ft. x 1.25 in.

10. Select a Time Zone (main Transceiver only). The time source detected is displayed (GPS or NTP). This setting does not apply to a Repeater Transceiver, which receives the main Transceiver time zone and synchronized time over its configured Channel (receive) number. 11. Power-on Transmit Schedule: Sets the duration of time the Transceiver transmits (broadcasts) a signal when first powered on. Default to 8 hours. When power-on time period ends, the Transceiver reverts to its Normal Transmit Schedule. 12.
16. Select Exit or if you have multiple Transmitters, select Configure Another. Step 12: Verify Transceiver is operational The final step is to verify the Transceiver is operating and is not in a warning or error state. During initial power on, it may enter a warning or error state until establishes connection to its time source and receives time. LED LED Indicator Color Power Transmit Green Green AF T 1.
