In summary, from the time a clock or repeater device is rst powered on at its install Location and connects to the
mesh network, it receives and sets its time within 15 minutes. If a Bridge is in 8-hour deployment mode, a new device is
added to your OneVue account within 30 minutes, and when not in 8-hour deployment mode it may take up to 24 hours
to 7 days.
Battery-operated clock only: When a clock cannot establish a connection to a mesh network to receive time, its
estimated battery life is reduced to 90 days.
Post-install operation
Once a Bridge has connected to OneVue and the Bluetooth clocks and/or repeaters have authenticated and connected
to a Sync Bluetooth mesh network, the devices operate as described below.
1. Once a day, at a system-dened time, each Bridge connects to your facility’s network to receive UTC time from an
NTP Server and check-in to OneVue to download device setting updates.
2. Once a day, at a system-dened time, each Sync Bluetooth device automatically establishes a wireless
communication path to either another Bluetooth device or directly to a Bridge to build the Sync Bluetooth mesh
network.
•Clock and repeater statuses are forwarded to a Bridge either by its communication path to another clock,
repeater, or directly to a Bridge.
• Clocks and repeaters receive setting updates and synchronize received UTC time to its Time Zone offset and
DST rules.
3. Once the Sync Bluetooth mesh network has completed its daily build, a Bridge connects to your facility's network to
send all received device status data to OneVue.
Install Repeater: add a clock mode
Upon rst-power up at its installation location, a clock and repeater enters Add a Clock mode as described below.
1. Once powered on at its installation location, the device continuously searches for an available Sync Bluetooth
mesh network.
It may take up to 15 minutes for a device to authenticate and connect to an available mesh network. We
recommend to continue installing additional devices, while other devices establish their connection to the mesh
network.
2. Once a device has authenticated with the mesh network, it establishes a communication path either to another
Sync Bluetooth device or directly to a Bridge available within the mesh network.
3. Once connected, the device receives the New Clock Time Zone and sets its time. For an analog clock, its hands
perform one full revolution past 12:00 and then sets its time.
• During its rst connection to the mesh network, its unique Device ID is added to the mesh network.
• If a Bridge is in 8-hour deployment mode, within 30 minutes of receiving a new Device ID, the Bridge connects to
your facility's network and sends the new Device ID to OneVue. The new device is added to your OneVue
account.
• If a Bridge is not in 8-hour deployment mode, the new device is added to your OneVue account within 24 hours to
7 days.
