The interface can be installed directly on the device to be synchronised or up to 0.5 m
displaced from said device using double-sided Velcro. The cable can be shortened or
lengthened (cable 4 x 0.25 mm2).
Ensure best possible wireless reception at the installation site. The following factors
may be decisive here.
•Alignment of the wireless receiver interface (check horizontal / vertical positioning).
•Shielding / interference from the device to be synchronised (ensure adequate
spacing).
•Excessive damping due to walls / metal object (reposition the device to be
synchronised, increase transmitter power or use a signal repeater).
•Too great a distance between wireless transmitter and wireless receiver interface
(increase transmitter power or use a signal repeater).
•Receiver frequency interference by other electric devices and/or equipment that
might interfere (operate same out of receiver range. Use a different frequency
channel or switch the equipment t off if using a wireless system).

2.2 Connections / Power Supply
The WTD 868-R is connected to its power source via a 4-wire cable (black PVC
sheathing, length 0.5 m, wires 4 x 0.25 mm2). Terminal assignment is given on the type
label of the wireless receiver interface as well (the MOBALine signal output isn't
polarity-dependent).

Clocks with MLU 190(t) (S) (230) movements and WTD 868-RM:
In this situation the WTD 868-RM interface has to be powered with external mains
power supply IMPS 24. Only seconds movements with 230 VAC mains power supply
(MLU 190(t) S 230) can be synchronized with the WTD 868-RM interface.
Digital clock series 400A with WTD 868-RD:
•Configure your Digital Clock as desired (for setting up the clock for DCF
synchronisation please refer to the additional manual).
•Connect the cable of the radio receiver interface WTD 868-RD to the screw
terminals of your Digital Clock as shown below:
Yellow: Power +
Green & Brown: Ground
White: Antenna Input
•It is important to place the radio receiver interface WTD 868-RD on one of the side
panels of the digital clock. Do not mount the interface on the rear panel. The metal
parts of the clock housing could avoid proper signal reception. For mounting the
WTD 868-RD at the desired position use the double sided adhesive tape which is
part of the delivery.

2.3 Control and Display Elements
The wireless receiver interface has a button for adjusting the operating mode and a
status LED to display same.
The status LED shows the operating mode of the wireless receiver interface for 10
minutes after connection the power source. It then goes out so as not to optically
intrude. (Should the operating mode be displayed for additional 10 minutes then press
the button briefly).
Ascertaining the operating mode using the button.
Button Effect
Depress < 5 seconds Current operating mode is displayed by the
LED for 10 minutes.
Depress > 5 seconds The wireless receiver interface toggles to
its initialisation mode.

the button's pressed
If the operating mode isn't shown after briefly depressing
the button:
WTD 868-RM
- No power
- Malfunction / Defect (check wiring)
WTD 868-RD
- No power
- Only blinks if the device to be synchronised is
correctly connected (the Current Loop must be live)
- Minute change (commencement of the DCF signal
output)
- Malfunction / Defect (check wiring)
Rapid regular blinking The wireless receiver interface awaits synchronisation by a
wireless transmitter.
WTD 868-RM:
Two blinks a second
Time code output active, power supply correct.
A MOBALine monitor (IF 484, Art. no. 36452) can be used
to check signal output.
WTD 868-RD:
One blink a second
Time code output active, power supply and end device
wiring correct.

2.4 Initialisation / Synchronisation
When first used the wireless receiver interface automatically opens in initialisation
mode. In this mode it synchronises using a random wireless time signal transmitter that
is also in initialisation mode. The WTD 868-R saves the address in the time signal
permanently and thereafter synchronises using only signals from a transmitter address
that tallies with that stored. It can thus be obliged to use a specific transmitter address.
Procedure for allocating a new wireless receiver interface a specific transmitter
•Install the WTD 868-R (see chapters 2.1 and 2.2)
•Set the wireless time signal transmitter into initialisation mode.
Caution. Where there is more than one wireless transmitter within reception range
of the interface make sure no other transmitter is in initialisation mode. Which
transmitter will be used cannot otherwise be predicted.
•Wait for the wireless receiver interface to synchronise (see notes, chapters 2.1 and
2.3).
•Once all WTD 868-R have been commissioned as desired the wireless transmitter
must be set to normal operation mode.
If a wireless receiver interface is then later to be assigned a different wireless
transmitter this can be done using the button (see chapter 2.3).
