When I am using a Valcom MultiPath or V-2924A s a master clock, what correction scheme do I use? In both cases type 1 correction should be used.
Can I mix analog and digital clocks on the same cable pull?
Yes. As long as you observe the wiring guidelines provided in the
wire gauge guide.
Can I use a single cable pull into a classroom for clocks,
speakers and call switch?
Yes, assuming that you are using a Valcom intercom.
Can I use the Valcom clocks without a Valcom intercom?
Valcom clocks are compatible with many 3-wire synch corrected systems
and may be used to add on to an existing clock system or may be used
for new clock systems. In the case of new clock systems, we
recommend using Valcom 2-wire digital correction. This correction
scheme provides for a great degree of clock accuracy and for
immediate clock correction following power failures and time
changes. Our V-D110xx clocks, V-GPS GPS master clock and V-WMC
Wireless Master Clock Transceiver all feature the capability to
serve as master clocks and when used in conjunction with our V-VCU
provide for a complete Valcom 2-wire digital head end. Refer to the
product selection guides for equipment selection.
If I am using synch wired correction, what clocks should I
choose?
For 110V clock systems, use the V-A11012, V-A11016, V-D11025A or
V-D11040A. For 24VDC or 24vac clock systems, use the V-A2412,
V-A2416, V-D11025A or V-D11040A.
If I am using Valcom 2-wire digital correction, what clocks
should I choose?
Use the V-A2412, V-A2416, V-D2425, V-D2440, V-D11025A or V-D11040A.
What is the difference between the V-D110xx and V-D24xx digital
clocks?
The V-D24xx clocks can only be used as slave clocks in a Valcom 2-wire
digital system. The V-D110xx clocks can be used with Valcom 2-wire
digital, 3-wire synch systems and can act as a master clock in a
Valcom 2-wire system.
What 3-wire synch protocols are compatible with the Valcom
Clocks?
Synch-wire 59TH minute correction protocol
Synch-wire 58th minute correction protocol
Synch-wire National Time and Rauland protocol
How do I set the clocks to recognize the synch-wire protocol
that I am using?
The analog clocks automatically discover the correct protocol. The
V-D110xx clocks have jumper settings. If you change the protocol in
an existing system, the clocks may take up to 3 days to discover the
new one.
What mounting provisions are necessary for the analog clocks?
The analog clocks, and digital clock surface mount enclosures are
designed to mount to a single gang electrical box.
Do I have to reset the clocks following a power failure?
No, the clocks will automatically reset to the correct time. Depending
upon the correction protocol that you are utilizing, this may take
up to 24 hours. Valcom 2-wire protocol provides for immediate
correction following a power failure.
What is the V-CDT Chronograph Timer Control Box?
The Chronograph Timer Control Box allows the V-D11040A to be used as a
timer for sporting events, operating rooms, etc. The chronograph
functions of the digital clock includes count up or count down modes
in Hour:Minute (HH:MM) or Minute:Second (MM:SS) modes. Counter can
be interrupted and resumed. The V-CDT allows the clock
to resume time of day display when the chronograph function is not
in use.
I know that the V-D110xx
clocks can be used as master clocks in a Valcom 2-wire digital system,
what happens when there is a power failure?
The V-D110xx clocks feature an integral 10-year backup battery and
continue to maintain current time during power failures.
How many Valcom power units are consumed by the clocks?
The 24V analog clocks require 1 Valcom power unit each, the 24V 2.5"
digital clocks require 3 Valcom power units each and the 24V 4.0"
digital clocks require 4 Valcom power units each. When using 3-wire
synch correction, any Valcom 24VDC power supply may be used to power
the clocks. When using Valcom 2-wire digital correction, the V-VCU
must be used to power the clocks. The 110V clocks are not rated in
power units.
Can I use multiple V-VCUs for
systems requiring more than 120 Valcom power units?
Absolutely. The clock driver output of a V-VCU may be connected to the
data input(s) of other V-VCUs in order to facilitate large
distributed clock systems.
Can I connect the clocks using
UTP wiring?
You can use UTP to connect the 24VDC clocks. Follow the
wire length guidelines found on
www.valcomclocks.com. When using 110V clocks, follow the
guidelines of your local electrical code - do not wire 110V clocks
with UTP type wiring.
