Exploded view diagram of a green industrial device showing internal components and assembly (no text or symbols)

Plastic Surface (Wall) Mount Installation

Mount Housing to Wall and/or Gang Box - To mount the housing to the wall, drive two (2) plastic anchors into the wall (not supplied in kit) and take two pan head screws (also not supplied in kit) and drive them into the plastic inserts leaving an 1/8th inch gap between the head of the screw and the wall. Mount the housing to the wall by lining up the two holes in the back of the top of the housing with the two screws with the 1/8 inch gap from the wall and slide the housing onto the heads of the screws. To mount the housing to the gang box, take the four (4) 6-32 x 1" screws (supplied in kit) and screw them through the four holes in the center of the inside of the housing and the four holes in the gang box.

Note: If using a metal gang box, a ground must be provided to the gang box.

2 Feed Wiring Into the Housing - Take the wire coming from the inside of the gang box and feed it through the hole in the middle of the housing.
3 Plug and Secure Wiring - Loosen the provided wire clamp (comes attached to the inside of the housing) and slip excess wiring through and tighten the clamp. After securing excess wiring, plug the jack at the end of the wiring into the appropriate jack on the back of the display board.
4 Mount Display Board to Housing - Using the four (4) self tapping, 6-19 x 1/2" flat head screws supplied in the assembly kit, take the display board and screw it to the front side of the clock housing (4 screws per clock).
5 Snap on Filter - Take the red filter bezel and snap it on to the front side of the housing.
6 Snap on Frame - Take the gray frame and snap it on to the front side of the housing.

Installation Instructions

Plastic Double Mount Installation

Exploded view diagram of a device's internal components with numbered parts, showing green and gray parts with labeled parts.

\*For metal mounting bracket: Use a wall anchor that can support 50 lbs or more with a maximum screw size of 10/1.5"

1 Install metal mounting bracket - First, remove the metal mounting bracket from the inside of the double mount base by unscrewing the two (2) 6-32 x 1/2" screws located on the underside of the base (save these screws for step #5). Next, screw the metal mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling in which the clocks are being installed. To mount to the switch box, screw the four (4) 6-32 x 1" screws supplied in the assembly kit through the inner four holes of the metal mounting bracket. Use the outer four holes to mount anchors to the wall (both anchors and screws for anchors not supplied in kit). For IP clocks, if using an Ethernet bracket (*as shown in the diagram) use the two (2) 6-32 x 1/4" included in the assembly kit to mount the Ethernet bracket to the metal mounting bracket at this point(Ethernet bracket not supplied in assembly kit).

Note: if using a plastic switch box, a ground wire must be routed through the switch box and into one (1) of the four (4) metal mounting bracket screws in order to provide ground to the metal mounting bracket.

Note: the metal mounting bracket MUST be secured by both the screws going to the switch box AND the anchors going into the wall.

2 Mount clock housings to pole - Align the hole in the center each housing with one of the three holes on the mounting pole where the wiring will be routed (the installer will chose which hole at the end of the pole to use based on how far they want the clock to sit from the wall). Screw from the inside of the housing into the four holes surrounding the hole in the center of the housing using the four (4) 8-32 x 7/16" screws supplied in the assembly kit (4 screws per clock), securing both housings to the mounting pole.

Note: end caps from one side of each clock must be removed to mount both clocks to the mounting pole. Remove one end cap from each clock from the side in which the mounting pole enters the clock.

3 Screw both housings together - Using the two (2) self tapping, 6-19 x 7/16" screws supplied in the assembly kit, screw both back sides of the clock housings together (2 screws per clock).
4 Feed wiring through base and pole - Take the wiring coming from the switch box and begin to feed it through the center of the base of the mounting assembly until it emerges from the hole in the center of the clock housing. Make sure there is roughly 1.5' - 2' of wiring coming from the switch box. Perform this task for both clocks. If installing IP clocks, run bare Ethernet wire without an RJ45 connector and install the connector after it has been routed through the clock if possible (this will be much easier than running the wire with the connector on). If not possible, make sure that there is no boot present in order for the connector to fit through the assembly. If you are using an Ethernet bracket with the installation of IP clocks, the assembly of the clocks in steps 6 and 7 can be accomplished before mounting the assembly to the wall in step 5 - making the overall installation more simple.

5 Snap and screw base to metal mounting bracket - Snap the base to the metal mounting bracket by first making contact with the lip in the upper side of the base and the metal mounting bracket. When the base has been snapped onto the bracket, take the two (2) 6-32 x 1/2" pan head screws that originally came installed on the base and screw them back into the two holes on the underside of the base to secure the base to the metal mounting bracket.
6 Connect switch box wires to clock harness - Take the wiring harness supplied with the clock and make all necessary connections between the wiring harness and the switch box wires using wire nuts. Perform this task for both clocks. If using IP clocks, wiring will not be supplied with the clocks - the installer will be responsible for supplying all Ethernet wiring.
7 Plug and secure wiring - Loosen and slip excess wiring through provided wire clamp (comes attached to each housing) and tighten the clamp. After securing excess wiring, plug the jack at the end of the wiring harness into the appropriate jack on the back of the display board. Perform this task for both clocks.
8 Mount display board to housing - Using the four (4) self tapping, 6-19 x 1/2" flat head screws supplied in the assembly kit, take the display board and screw it to the front side of the clock housing (4 screws per clock).
9 Snap on filter - Take the red filter bezel and snap it on to the front side of each clock housing.
10 Snap on frame - Take the gray frame and snap it on to the front side of each clock housing.

Troubleshooting

The clock is not running. What do I do?

a) Measure the input voltage to the clock. The voltage should measure 85-135 volts in the 110 volt model or 10-28 volts in the 2.5"/24 volt model and 16-28 volt in the 4.0"/24 volt model.
b) Make sure the transformer is an isolated transformer if using a 24 volt model.
c) Make sure the ground wire is not touching other wires.

NOTE: If you fail to follow instructions a and b listed above, the fuses can be blown.

Clock is only displaying dashes. What do I do?

This means that the clock is receiving power but not receiving a time correction signal.

a) Confirm that the head end is sending data to the clock power supply
b) Confirm that clock power supply is wired correctly

The clock is displaying a time, but the colons are flashing. What does this mean?

This means that the clock, at one point has received a time update, but since then the correction has been lost.

a) Confirm that the head end is sending data to the clock power supply
b) Check to see that all wiring is correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the digital clock be used as an independent clock?

No, the V-D2425 and V-D2440 digital clock requires a communication input and must be used with either a master clock or a V-D11025A or V-D11040A digital clock.

Some clocks require a 9 volt battery backup for timekeeping. What happens to the V-D2524 or V-D2540 if a power failure occurs?

Upon restoration of power, the clock immediately receives a correction signal from the master clock and resets itself to display the correct time. This occurs within seconds of "power-up", so no battery backup is required for a timekeeping base within the individual clocks. Since the clock does not require a battery backup, the clock never needs to be opened.

How can I interface the V-D2524 or V-D2540 with Rauland, Dukane and other systems?

The V-WMCA Master Clock or the V-D11025A or V-D11040A digital clock can be used as an interface between other systems and V-D2524 or V-D2540 clocks.

What happens if voltage on the power line drops from 24 VAC to lower voltage?

The clock will still function, and will maintain the same level of brightness. However, the current consumption will increase proportionally to the decrease in voltage.
