AllSync Plus clock is designed to work with multiple master clocks and correction signals. This unit is programmed to identify the signal it receives from the master and operate as that style of clock. Changing clock operation from one style to another is as easy as unplugging the clock from one system and plugging it into another. If needed, changing the placement of 2 small jumpers on the circuit board can change the voltage required to run this clock from

120vac to 24vac or 24vac to 120vac. This clock provides 15 minutes of backup run power without the use of batteries. If a power outage should last longer than 15 minutes, the clock will synchronize to the master clock at the hourly and 12 hour correction cycles.

Correction Signals

Works on:

• Hourly correction: 7-9 seconds starting at the 57th minute and 54th second. 12 hour correction: 13-18 seconds starting at

5:57:54 (am and pm).

• Hourly correction: 24-28.5 seconds starting at the 0 minute and 0 second. 12 hour correction: 24-32 minutes starting at

6:00:00 (am and pm).

• *Hourly correction: 54-56 seconds starting at the 58th minute and 5th second. 12 hour correction: 10 pulses of 94-96 seconds starting at 5:05:00 (am and pm) and repeating every 2 minutes.

• Hourly correction: 24-26 seconds starting at 0 minute and 0 second. 12 hour correction: 25 pulses of 24-26 seconds starting at 6:00:00 (am and pm) and repeating every 60 seconds.

• Hourly correction: 63-67 seconds starting at the 58th minute and 0 second. 12 hour correction: 14 pulses of 63-67 seconds starting at 5:06:00 (am and pm) and repeating every 2 minutes.

• *Hourly correction: 54-56 seconds starting at the 58th minute and 5th second. 12 hour correction: 12 pulses of 63-67 seconds starting at 5:05:00 (am and pm) repeating every 90 seconds.

*Note:

When switching between these correction protocols, you must use a different correction protocol to complete the transition.

The AllSync Plus clock needs to distinguish between hourly corrections before it can change correction protocols internally.

Appendix B - LED Indication

AllSync Plus Clock Installation

& Operation Manual

Note: LED indicator can be found on the back of the AllSync Plus clock on the side of the dust cover as indicated by the decal, or refer to picture on page 19.

Normal Operation:

Flashing Green (0.5 sec. ON – 0.5 sec OFF) = Microprocessor is sending an update to the movement.

Note: The movement requests the time from the circuit board after startup and at 2am, 8am, 2pm and 8pm as seen on the clock. During this request the circuit board will send the time to the movement. Each request will last approximately 3 minutes.

Flashing Red (0.5 sec. ON – 0.5 sec OFF) = Incorrect DIP switch settings or clock error.

General Operation

Note: If the LED is flashing red settings in the clock may be incorrect. Contact American Time Technical support for assistance at

800-328-8996.

Alternating Red and Green (0.5 sec Red – 0.5 sec. Green) = AllSync Plus circuit board receiving correction signal from master.

Both colors OFF 1 sec. = At the top of each minute the AllSync Plus clock LED will turn off at the 00 sec. and continue with normal operation at 01 sec.

Note: After the clock has had sufficient time to synchronize (the LED will remain green and the movement has crossed 8:00 or 2:00 on its face) this LED flashing off should match the second hand on the clock passing the top of the minute.

Continuous Red = Power is on and the AllSync Plus circuit board has not received a 12 hour correction in last 15 hours.

Note: If the AllSync Plus clock is installed in a clock system running a correction protocol different than 01

(factory) or its previously recognized protocol, it may require more than one 12 hour correction to adjust its internal clock. In this case the LED will remain red after one 12 hour correction.

Continuous Green = Power is on and the AllSync Plus circuit board has received at least one 12 hour correction in the last 15 hours.

Glossary

AllSync Plus Clock Installation

& Operation Manual

General Operation

Clock Protocol - A specific time and duration of a set of correction pulses sent from a master clock to synchronize a clock system. Through the development of clock systems many different clock system manufacturers designed their own clock protocols. For this reason clocks cannot generally move from one system to another unless the system has the same clock protocol. The AllSync Plus clock is designed to recognize many different clock protocols.

Cold Start - AllSync Plus operational state in which power is applied for the first time or after the clock has not had power for a sufficient amount of time to drain it to the point it resets its internal processor.

LED - Light Emitting Diode - Indicator light on the back of the AllSync Plus clock.

Master Clock - In a clock system, a device that acts as the source of time. The master clock transmits the time to any number of secondary (or slave) clocks.

Movement - The inner mechanism of an analog clock that moves the clock’s hands.

Secondary Clock - Also known as a slave clock, this is a clock that synchronizes its timekeeping to that of a connected master clock.

Synchronization - The process of bringing two clocks or time sources into phase so their difference is zero. In the case of a timekeeping system, time synchronization takes place between the master clock and all secondary clocks.
