Overview

The BRG wireless clock system is specifically designed for applications where precision and reliability are of great importance. Time updates using the standard Network Time Protocol

(NTP) and/or optional Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) provides the master clock(s) with constant time updates. All clocks in the system will not only display the same time, but the true legal time. Any combination of clock shapes, style or size may be synchronized. BRG clocks are designed for organizations that require reliable and accurate synchronized time.

The BRG multi-path wireless clock system is highly reliable. The system operates on the license-free 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical band. Spread Spectrum radios are used to enhance signal coverage, along with AES 128 bit encryption to enhance security and reliability. Multi-path wireless communications are used to propagate the time signal throughout any size facility. The failure of any single clock will not affect the remaining clocks in the system. Supervision is available to automatically check the operation of all wireless devices on the system.

The system can be configured to use multiple, simultaneous time sources. For example, NTP and GPS time sources can be used at the same time. Multiple master clocks may be used so that if one master clock is down or loses sync, the system automatically continues to function normally from the secondary master clock. BRG digital clocks include an internal Lithium battery that will maintain the time for up to 10 years. BRG battery powered clocks utilize a redundant parallel battery configuration that allows the clock to function even if a battery fails.

No other system on the markets offers this level of reliability and ease of operation.

Each master clock may be configured for a variety of time zone and Daylight Saving Rules, including UTC (Zulu) Time, Any World Time Zone, Half-hour time zones, Enable or Disable

Daylight Saving Time, and selectable 12 or 24 hour display formats with digital intensity control on digital clocks.

Installation

Master Clock Installation

The master clock must be installed and synchronized with a local or public time server before installing slave clocks. For best results, locate the master clock within 150 feet from the time zone clocks.

1. Connect the network cable into the back of the master clock.

2. Plug the low voltage cable from the AC adapter into the back of the master clock.

3. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.

The master clock will attempt to automatically register with the computer network using DHCP.

If a network connection is successful, it will then attempt to acquire network time from public time servers using NTP (Network Time Protocol).

If DHCP is not available, the master clock’s network interface must be configured with fixed IP address information. If an internal or other time server is to be used in place of public time servers, then this too will need to be changed in the network interface. See the Ethernet

Communications section later in the manual for more information about configuring the Ethernet interface.

When the master clock receives a time update from the time server, an asterisk (*) will appear in the lower right corner of the LCD display. A “T” will appear on the lower left side of the master clock’s display when it is actively broadcasting time packets.

The master clock incorporates a high precision temperature compensated quartz oscillator, so the clock will maintain the time for an extended period without external time updates.

An optional GPS receiver is available for the master clock. This receiver sends the time received from the GPS satellites wirelessly to the master clock. The GPS receiver can be used in addition to NTP time for a redundant time source.

Connections on the back of the master clock.

The RC100 master clock includes connections for power, alarm relay and Ethernet. The alarm relay includes 10 Amp contacts. Larger loads should make use of a slaved relay.

Analog Clock Installation

The clocks should be brought within 150 feet of the operating master clock. Insert batteries into the clock’s battery holder. The clock will receive a time update from the master clock and move the hands to the configured time zone.

Digital Clock Installation

If the clock system is comprised entirely of digital clocks, the digital clock will receive and move to the correct time (if it isn’t already there) as soon as power is applied.

Wireless Relay / Audio Player / Tone Generator Installation

While the master clock includes alarm relay connections, the location of the alarm devices may be some distance from the master clock. In this case, wireless alarm relays are available.

Wireless relays should be located within 150 feet of continuously active network transmissions.

The wireless relay / tone generator includes a configuration dip switch.

Switch position 1 sets the audio output, up=high (1 volt P-P), down=low (0.5 volt P-P).

Switch position 2 sets the device function (up=audio player w/ relay following, down=timed relay).

Switch positions 3-6 sets the alarm zone number (binary 1-12).

Switch positions 7-10 sets the radio channel number (binary 0-15). Setting the channel to 15 will cause the device to transmit and receive on all channels.

When switch position 2 is in the up position, the relay will activate as long as audio is playing.

When the switch is down position, the relay will use the timed values indicated in the drop down box of the Windows alarm configuration program. In addition to the time relay values, the relay can be configured to remain on or off indefinitely.

DIP switch setting (default) for high volume, audio player active, alarm zone 1, radio channel 0

DIP switch setting for audio disabled with timed relay active, alarm zone 1, radio channel 0

Binary value DIP switch settings – use the following table to configure the switches for the zone and channel numbers. Disregard the numbers on the switches in the following table. For example, the zone number switches on a wireless relay are numbered 3-6 and the channel switches are numbered 7-10.

= 7

= 4

= 5

= 8

= 9

= 10

= 11

= 13

= 14

= 15

The relay output of the master clock is always a timed or steady state, and does not follow any audio play, or zones.

An internal speaker is available when the device is in audio player mode.

The Wireless Relay / Audio Player includes over 70 pre-recorded tones, chimes, buzzers and bells. Also included are various Westminster clock chimes. These chimes can be configured as a campus wide clock chime system. For best results, use only SanDisk brand memory cards.

The wireless alarm relay includes 10 Amp contacts. Larger loads should make use of a slaved relay.

Wireless Relay modules receive and repeat all radio transmissions to propagate the signal throughout the facility.

The wireless control program for Windows is available to configure and control alarm settings.

Setting the channel to 15 will cause the device to transmit and receive on all channels. Repeaters and analog clocks always transmit and receive on all channels.

Operation

The RC100 master clock obtains time updates from local or public time servers, and/or from the optional GPS receiver. The time received is used to update the master clock’s internal temperature compensated quartz oscillator. The internal clock is backed up using a 10 year

Lithium battery to prevent time disruptions due to power outages. All master clock configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and are unaffected by power outages.

The master clock transmits time updates using a 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence, Spread Spectrum digital radio. All data transmitted is encrypted using AES-128 bit data encryption for security and reliability. The RC100 master clock broadcasts time updates every second (86,400 times per day).

The analog clock movement periodically turns on the internal radio transceiver for 5 seconds in preparation for a time update. After which, it places the radio transceiver in sleep mode. In this mode, the transceiver is no longer operational and uses very little power to remain in sleep mode.

If the batteries are removed while the transceiver is in sleep mode and immediately inserted, the hands will move to 12:00, but the movement will not receive a time update. This is because the capacitors within the movement keep the transceiver powered enough to remain in sleep mode for several minutes after the batteries have been removed. To reset the transceiver, remove the batteries for at least five minutes. Then insert the batteries. The hands will move to 12:00 and wait for reception. Then the hands will move to the correct time. If the radio transceiver is not reset, it will still receive a time update and move the hands to the correct time; however, it will be some time later. If a battery clock is in low power mode, removing and reinserting the batteries or pressing the receive button will enable reception.

Changing batteries in battery powered analog clocks

Batteries should be changed as soon as the clock second hand begins double stepping. If all clocks are double stepping, then first check that the transmitter is operational. Remove all

batteries, then insert new batteries. All replacement batteries must be new and of the same

type.

If the clock is displaying the correct time after changing the batteries, but is double stepping the second hand, go ahead and hang it back on the wall. Normal operation of the second hand should start by the next day.

Pressing the REC ore Reset buttons should cause the clock to receive a time update.

When the master clock receives a time update from a network or GPS time server, a time source indicator with an asterisk (E* or G*) will appear in the lower right corner of the LCD display.

E* indicates the last time update received was from a computer network time server. This includes the MCR1000GPS receiver/time server. G* indicates the last update received was from a wireless GPS receiver. Multiple time sources may be used simultaneously.

Analog clocks will step the second hand every two seconds if sync is lost for more than a day.

On 2.4 GHz devices, channels 0-15 correspond to 802.15.4 channel 11-26.

Master Clock Configuration Menu

General Menu Navigation:

Master Clock configuration is accomplished by editing parameters using a simple menu system.

Only four buttons are used to navigate the menu. The Mode button enters the Menu. The Up and Down buttons move up and down through the menu items, and are used to change parameter values. The Timer Control (TC) button is used to save any changes and exit the menu system.

Operation – Press and hold the Mode button to access the menu system. The hours and minutes will blink for about ten seconds. When the hours and minutes stop blinking, release the Mode button. A one (1) will appear on the display. This is menu position 1. Using the Up and Down buttons, select the desired menu item. Press the Mode button again to display the parameter. For menu items above 19, press Mode again to access the menu’s second level. When a 1 appears, indicating the second level menu, press the Up or Down buttons to select the desired menu item, then press Mode to display the parameter value. Press the Up or Down buttons to change the parameter value. Once the parameter value is changed, press Mode to back out of the item and move to another item, or press the Timer Control (TC) button to save and exit the menu system.

Pressing the Timer Control button at any time will save your changes and exit the menu system.

Pressing the Mode button while a parameter value is displayed will back up one level. Press Up or Down to move to the next mode item. Pressing the Down button until mode 0 is reached will exit the menu system. Pressing the Timer Control (TC) button also exits the menu system.

Alarm Configuration

Each master clock has 999 total alarm settings that can be configured to activate a wireless audio alert / relay device at various times and days. For example a start lunch break alert horn could sound a constant tone for three seconds beginning at 12:00 noon, Monday through Friday. The end of lunch tone could be pulsed twice per second, for three seconds of duration. Wireless alarms will only be sent if the “T” is visible on the RC100 display. The relay output of the RC100 always operates. For greater reliability, the relay outputs of dual master clocks may be wired in parallel, with the same alarm schedule loaded in both master clocks, forming a redundant alarm system.

The PC Control program for Windows is available for configuring the alarm functions.

To enter the Alarm Schedule editor, click on Alarm Schedule menu above.

Click on the Create New Alarm Record button to add a new record to the alarm schedule.

Enter the description of the alarm item into the box next to the Create New Alarm Record button. Be sure to press the Enter key after entering the description to confirm the entry.

Next, select the day-of-the-week for the alarm to activate. Then select the time of day. Be sure to select AM or PM.

Now click on the Alarm Function drop down box to view the available alarm options. This drop down box is used to select either audio player recordings or relay contact closure using the wireless relay. The master clock also incorporates an alarm relay. The wireless relay must be configured to either play an audio recording with relay closure following the audio play, or a timed relay closure with the period determined by the drop down box selection in the alarm scheduler.

Note that there is a button to preview pre-recorded audio prior to scheduling them for play. A Stop Sound button is provided to interrupt lengthy audio selections.

Each wireless alarm receiver may be configured to one of twelve zones, with zone 1 the default. The alarm schedule program may be used to select any combination of the twelve zones. For example, zone 1 could be used for one area of a building and zone 2 for another area. Each alarm entry could activate alarms in either zone or both zones simultaneously. The Clock address is used to select one of 99 master clocks. The default is 0 to select all master clocks. The IP address of the master clock to control must be entered.

Each set of alarms can be assigned to a group before sending to the master clock. Multiple alarm groups can be stored in the master clock and activated either manually or automatically by date range. For example, group 1 could be configured for every day except holidays, while group 2 could be configured for the holiday schedule.

When the Active Alarm Schedule number is set to 0, a date range may be used to automatically switch from one alarm schedule to another. Select a date range to use (1-20) and the alarm schedule number to activate. Then enter the desired date range. Once these items are selected, click on the Send Date Ranges button to send the activation schedule to the master clock. Change the Active Alarm Schedule number back to a number other than 0 to return to the alarm scheduler.

The above screen shot is an example of a simple alarm schedule that includes two zones. The Send Manual Alarm button at the bottom of the screen allows alarms to be sent immediately without being scheduled. To send a manual alarm, either select one of the existing scheduled alarms, or select the alarm type and zone, then click on the Send

Manual Alarm button.

Ethernet Communications

Overview

Once the clock is connected to the network and power is applied, DHCP is used to automatically assign each clock an IP address on the network. The clock will then search the Internet or local area network for NTP time servers. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a uniform method of sending time over a computer network. By default, the clock will automatically connect to the local network and attempt to act as a client to public or local SNTP time servers. SNTP is a subset of the NTP protocol. SNTP provides Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to the clock.

The clock then implements local time zone offsets and daylight saving rules to display the correct local time. The correct time will display within a few minutes of obtaining a time server lock. The clock includes a list of 10 Internet SNTP time servers. Local SNTP time servers may also be used. The clock includes a network web server which is used to configure various network communication parameters.

Ethernet Interface

The Ethernet interface includes an easy to use web interface. Automatic address configuration

(DHCP) is enabled by default. However, if a fixed network address will be used instead of

DHCP, then the interface configuration will need to be changed.

To configure the Ethernet interface, it must first be located on the network. The BRG Wireless

Control program is used to discover clock(s) located on the same subnet as the PC.

Alternatively, a program is available (finder.exe) that will locate the clock most anywhere on the local network if DHCP successfully configured it.

The finder.exe program is a software tool that can be used to locate the Ethernet interface just about anywhere on the local network. However, it cannot be used to configure the interface.

Compare the MAC address on the product label with those listed on the finder.exe program. If there is a match, then the IP address will be listed next to it.

Once the IP address is discovered, click on the desired address to configure. Then, click on the

"Browse" button to access the configuration menu where the IP address, net mask, and gateway address can be entered.

Another method of configuring the Ethernet interface is to connect the PC directly to the

Ethernet interface using a special cross over cable. Later model computers will automatically detect the need to cross over the signal pairs. All network connections must be disabled on the computer except "Local Area Connection". Right click on the network icon at the bottom of the screen. Click on “Open Network Connections”, or go to, Start > Control Panel > Network

Connections. If "Local Area Connection" is not the only enabled connection, right click on the other connections and click on disable.

Network Interface Configuration Web Interface

The main page displays a variety of general information about the configuration and activity of the Ethernet interface.

User Name and Password

The menu in the left column allows selecting several sections of the interface. A user name and password is required to enter any section other than the main page.

The default user name is: user

The default password is: password

The user name and password should be changed after installation. Store the user name and password in a safe location for later reference.

Clock Configuration

Clock Name - is the user defined name used to identify the device during a network search.

SNTP Sample Interval - is the time in minutes between SNTP time updates. The default is one minute.

Operating Mode - defaults to SNTP and should not be changed unless directed by factory technical support staff.

UDP Destination Address – is the IP address for the clock to send responses to, typically the control PC.

UDP Time Port – default 16000, for UDP time broadcasting, not usually used for SNTP time acquisition.

UDP Discovery Port - default 16001, for UDP commands and discovery by the Windows control program.

RS422 Serial Capture – is used by factory support staff only.

Click on the Apply button to save changes.

TCP/IP Configuration

Enable DHCP – check to enable automatic IP address configuration using DHCP. Uncheck to use manual address configuration. The address fields will be grayed out when checked.

IP v4 Address – enter the IP address using version 4 protocol

Subnet Mask – enter the subnet mask

Default Gateway – enter the gateway IP address

Primary DNS – Domain Naming Service address - required if one or more alphabetic named

SNTP servers will be used. Not required if all SNTP server addresses are numeric.

Secondary DNS - Domain Naming Service address - optional

The factory default addressing mode is DHCP. If your network has a DHCP server, simply connect the clock to your network and the clock will acquire a leased IP address. The lease acquisition can be almost immediate or may take several minutes. You can use the wireless

Digital Control program to determine the leased IP address by going to Setup/Clock IP

Discovery. You may not see your clock listed in the discovery panel until it has acquired a lease.

You cannot access the Ethernet interface until it’s acquired an IP address. Once the clock has acquired an IP address, you then select the clock from the discovery listing by clicking on it.

Then click the browse button to open a session to the Ethernet interface.

SNTP Time Servers

Server Name – enter the numeric IP addresses or alphanumeric named addresses of the desired network time servers. The default configuration includes ten government time server addresses.

Once the clock has an IP address it will attempt to contact the first SNTP time server in the list.

If the network firewall prevents the clock from reaching the Internet, change the SNTP addresses listed to only local network SNTP time servers. Remove any server addresses outside the local network.

Security

Change the password as needed. Be sure to store in a safe location for future reference. Click on the Apply button to invoke the change.

Reboot

Click on the Reboot button to restart the network interface.

Time Synchronization Problems

If your clock is not synchronizing with an Internet SNTP time server, check the following items:



The NIC must have a valid DHCP or fixed IP address.



The NIC must be in the SNTP operating mode.

If you are using fixed IP addressing, the clock must have the correct gateway address to access the Internet. The gateway is the first router that the clock must go through to access other networks or the Internet.

Your network firewall must allow the clock to access the Internet through port 123.



The clock must have the default NTP timer server IP address loaded into the NIC.

If using named SNTP servers, be sure a valid DNS address is provided, or use only numeric SNTP server addresses.

If your clock is not synchronizing with a local network NTP time server, check the following items:



The NIC must have a valid DHCP or fixed IP address.



The NIC must be in the SNTP operating mode.



If you are using fixed IP addressing, the NIC must have the correct gateway if the server is



 on another network. The gateway is the first router that the clock must go through to access other networks.

The correct NTP timer server IP address must be loaded into the NIC.

If using named SNTP servers, be sure a valid DNS address is provided, or use only numeric SNTP server addresses.

Wireless GPS and Ethernet GPS Time Receivers

The GPS satellites obtain their time from the U.S. Atomic time standard, providing legally traceable time to the wireless clock system. Two GPS models are available. The RC161 receives GPS time and sends it wirelessly to all master clocks within radio range. The

MCR100GPS receives GPS time and sends it over the computer network to any number of master clocks.

The RC161 wireless GPS receiver assembly consists of two modules: GPS receiver and wireless transceiver. The GPS receiver mounts in a location that has a view of the sky, while the wireless transceiver is normally located indoors. The GPS receiver acquires time data from the GPS satellites and sends it to the indoor wireless transceiver over a cable. The wireless transceiver converts the time data to secure time packets and broadcasts the data to the wireless network once per minute. The wireless transceiver must be located with 150 feet of at least one RC100 master clock (330 feet in open space construction). Repeaters may be used to extend this range.

As soon as the GPS receiver obtains a time lock, the transceiver will begin broadcasting time to the master clocks.

The MCR100GPS consists of two modules, the GPS receiver and Ethernet NTP time server.

The receiver acquires time data from the GPS satellites and sends it to the Ethernet NTP time server. The time server decodes the raw GPS time broadcasts and sends the data to one ore more master clocks over the computer network. A status LED will blink when the interface receives valid time packets from the GPS receiver.

The RC100 master clock includes an indicator on the right side of the display to indicate when the clock has received time updates from either a wireless GPS receiver (G*) or an NTP/GPS network time update(E*). Once the clock locks onto the time signal, the sync indicator will remain on. If sync reception is lost for more than two hours, the sync indicator will turn off.

There are normally several satellites overhead at any point in time. The GPS antenna may be mounted indoors on a windowsill. This mounting method allows a partial view of the sky, which is enough to receive 2 to 3 satellites. The antenna may also be placed below a skylight. The

GPS antenna is water tight and may be mounted outdoors, on a roof or exterior wall. The following diagrams illustrate antenna positioning:
