Physically Installing the Clock

Before you mount the WB2000 Series Clock, you must find an appropriate physical location. To ensure the clock functions properly, mount the clock in these conditions:

  • Indoors, away from harsh environment conditions.
  • On a flat surface wall.
  • In ambient temperature in the 32° to 110° F (0°C to 43°C) range.
  • In an area with less than 95% non-condensing humidity.
  • With an electrical outlet within four feet.
  • Not more than 328 wire feet (100 meters) away from the Ethernet hub/switch, if using the Ethernet connection.

To mount the WB2000 clock reader:

  1. Select and remove one or more of the knockouts on the clock reader case to accommodate the data and power cables.
  2. Drill holes in the wall using the template in the appendix as a guide. The top of the clock reader should be positioned approximately 48 inches from the floor.
  3. Attach the clock reader base to the wall using screws or other fasteners in the mounting holes marked on the template.
  4. Attach the clock reader to the base.
  5. Insert the data cable through the knockouts in the clock reader case. Attach the data cable to the appropriate communication port on the clock reader.
  6. Use a busing or cable clamp to secure and protect the cable where the cable passes through the case.
  7. Attach the other end of the data cable to the Ethernet jack on the network hub or switch.
  8. Connect the output cable from the 12VDC power pack to the power jack on the clock reader.
  9. Plug the power pack into the wall outlet.
  10. Attach the clock reader's face plate, if necessary.
  11. The clock reader is now mounted and ready for setup and configuration.
