Time Signal Option Installation
The following describes a step-by-step procedure for the installation of the
Time Signal Option in a PIX-200. Make sure the power to the PIX-200 clock is
unplugged while you install the PCB Time Signal Option. When the installation
is complete, put the back plate and clock cover on and plug in the power to
verify the regular LCD display is functioning properly.
Materials Required
1. Time Signal PCB with flat cable.
2. Time Signal Option Installation and Operation Manual.
3. Small flathead screwdriver for inserting wires into the time signal terminal
block.
4. Signal sticker for the front panel (B Seal) and program sticker for the top
label (A Seal).
5. Cable tie.
6. The PIX-200 Operation Manual.
Installing the Time Signal PCB
1. Unplug power to the PIX-200 at the outlet.
2. Disconnect the full power reserve battery pack (if installed).
3. Unlock the PIX-200 top cover using the key and remove the cover.
4. Remove the back plate. In case of a wall mount type, remove the back
plate and detach the unit from the wall. See PIX-200 Operation Manual.
5. Disconnect the power plug from the back of the PIX-200 unit.
6. Unscrew the two (2) screws, which are holding the cover in place for the
PCB option cavity and remove the cover (see the following figure – bottom
view).

slot as illustrated in the following figure - bottom view.
8. Insert the Time Signal PCB (PXR-1) into the cavity in the bottom of the
PIX-200 as illustrated in the following figure – bottom view (the PCB
assembly is notched so the assembly can only be inserted into the cavity
in one direction). Please hold the edge of the PCB to avoid damaging the
PCB.

power cable through one of the holes on the lower portion of the back
plate and attach the back plate until the tab is fully inserted. (Refer to PIX-
200 Operation Manual if the PIX-200 is wall mounted).
15. Reattach the full power battery reserve if that option was installed. (Refer
to PIX-200 Full Power Battery Reserve Instructions).
16. Do not put the PIX-200 cover back on until the configuring time signal
procedure in Chapter 2 is complete. Plug the PIX-200 into a 110/120 AC
power source, and the LCD display window will show the date and time.
Installing The Signal Wires
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure to disconnect the unit
from its power supply. (Both AC power cord and full power reserve
batteries)

2. Disconnect the full power reserve battery pack (if installed). See Amano
Full Power Reserve System Manual.
3. Unlock the PIX-200 top cover using the key and remove the cover.
4. Remove the back plate. In case of a wall mount type, remove the back
plate and detach the unit from the wall. See PIX-200 Operation Manual.
5. Disconnect the power plug from the back of the PIX-200 unit.
6. Connect the Signal wires into the terminal block and use the cable tie to
secure the wires in place (see the following figures).
！
In order to feed the wires through
the hole of the back plate, secure
the wires using the cable tie as
shown above.
Press the orange protrusion of the
terminal block downwards using a
small flathead screwdriver when
inserting the wires

7. Plug the power back in (disconnected in Step 5). Feed the AC power
cable through one of the back plate holes, and the time signal wire
through the other hole (see the following figure). Reattach the back plate,
ensuring the tab is fully inserted. Refer to PIX-200 Operation Manual "Wall
Mounting" if the PIX-200 is wall mounted.
8. Attach the signal sticker for the front panel (B Seal) and the program
sticker for the top label (A Seal).
9. Put the cover back on and plug the AC power cord into the outlet to
confirm that the regular display on the LCD display panel appears.
10. If applicable, reattach the full power reserve battery pack.

External Signal Connections
The PIX-200 time signal option provides a single external signal relay circuit
that enables you to activate an audible device such as a bell or buzzer. The
relay contacts of the circuit are normally open and should not exceed Class 2
circuit requirements (30 VAC RMS at 3A, or 30 VDC at 3A). It is
recommended that a Surge Absorber (Amano P/N ESA-100010) be connected
as shown in the following figure to eliminate and prevent power line noise or
electromagnetic interference that might enter the PIX-200 via the relay circuit.
The duration (in seconds) that the relay contacts will be activated or closed is
set in the Signal Duration item, and the time of the day and day(s) of the
week that this will occur on is set in the Weekly Programming.

Description of Controls For PIX-200 (function buttons)
Normally, the Display Window shows the date and time. When you use the
Program Mode to change the settings of the PIX-200, the instructions to
change the clock are shown in this window.
The 5 function buttons underneath the cover are used to navigate through the
Quick Set and Program Mode to change the clock’s settings.
• The (-) button is used to change the information on the display by
decrementing the set value or moving the “▲” to the left.
• The (+) button is used to change the information on the display by
incrementing the set value or moving the “▲” to the right.
• The E button is used to accept the information shown on the display and
save it in memory.
• The +1 HOUR button advances the hour in the display by increments of 1.
• The +1MIN. button advances minutes in the display by increments of 1.

Chapter 2: Configuring The Time Signal
Make sure the AC power is plugged in while changes are made to the PIX-200
settings. Replace the cover, once all setting changes are performed, to exit
from the setup program mode and return to normal operation.
How To Set the Weekly Program (20 steps)
The illustrations on the right show samples of the displays. The shaded area
