l50 feet (15.2 meters) when there is 1 internal wall between Smart-Sync devices
l30 feet (9.1 meters) when there are 2 internal walls between Smart-Sync devices
You can also measure the Bluetooth signal strength at an installation location to determine if the location has adequate Bluetooth
signal strength. For more information, see "Measure Bluetooth Signal Strength at Installation Location" on page13.
Battery use recommendations
Battery life expectancy is based on common operating conditions and may vary due to installed site conditions and settings. Smart-
Sync battery-operated Clocks and Repeaters have up to a five year battery life.
lUse only new high-quality name brand alkaline batteries
lUse batteries with expiration date five or more years beyond the installation date

Mount to Ceiling or Wall
Supplied parts
(4) Screws, #8 x 1 1/4” flat head
(4) Anchors
How to mount to wall or ceiling
The mounting base has four key-shaped screw holes and two standard screw holes for a wall or ceiling mount.
1. Separate the unit from its mounting base: from the side of the unit, insert the top of a standard screwdriver into an insert opening
and gently push up to remove the cover.
2. Remove the pull off tab (12-character Device ID) and affix to a floorplan to identify its installation location.
3. Use the mounting base to mark the -hole locations on the ceiling or wall.
4. Drill holes where marked and tap plastic screw anchors provided into the drilled holes.
5. For mounting with the key-shaped screw holes, drive the supplied screws partially into the ceiling or wall and line up the
mounting base. Place and twist the mounting base into position under the screws, tighten screws to secure base to the mounting
surface.
6. For mounting with the two standard screw holes, align base to holes and drive the supplied screws into the ceiling or wall, tighten
screws to secure base to the mounting surface.
7. Insert 2 D-cell batteries into the battery compartment.
8. Insert its cover onto the mounting base.
9. Apply AC power (optional accessory). AC-power adapter 5V DC USB Mini B (5 pin) connector interface, 5ft (1.5 m) cable, Input: 100-
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.4A, Output: 5V, 1.0A max
10. Located on its cover, press and release the Status button. The LED blink sequence indicates its current status.
lOne blink: device is powered on.
lTwo blinks: successful connection to a Smart-Sync Bluetooth Wireless Network; received UTC time.
lFour blinks: low battery level status; battery replacement required.
Once the device has been added to OneVue, update its Name from its 12-character Device to its named installation location.
Installation - Smart-Sync Repeater Add a Mode
Upon first-power up at its installation location, a Smart-Sync Repeater enters Add a Mode as described below.
1. Once powered on at its installation location, the Repeater continuously searches for an available Smart-Sync Bluetooth Network.
It may take up to 15 minutes to authenticate and connect to an available Smart-Sync Bluetooth Network.
2. Once it has authenticated to a Smart-Sync Bluetooth Network, it establishes a communication path either to another Smart-Sync
device or directly to a Smart-Sync Bridge available within the network.
3. Once connected, it receives UTC time.
lDuring its first connection to the Smart-Sync Bluetooth Network, its unique Smart-Sync Device ID is added to the network.
lWhen a Smart-Sync Bridge is in 8-hour deployment mode: within 30 minutes of receiving a new Smart-Sync Device ID, the
Bridge connects to your facility's network and sends the new Device ID to OneVue.
lWhen a Smart-Sync Bridge is not in 8-hour deployment mode: the new Smart-Sync Device ID is added to your OneVue
account within 24 hours to 7 days.
12

In summary, from the time a Smart-Sync Repeater is first powered on at its installation location and connects to a Smart-Sync
Bluetooth Network, it receives UTC time within 15 minutes. If a Smart-Sync Bridge is in a 8-hour deployment mode, the device is added
to your OneVue account within 30 minutes, and when not in a 8-hour deployment mode it may take up to 24 hours to 7 days for the
device to be added to your OneVue account.
Measure Bluetooth Signal Strength at Installation Location
To determine if a Smart-Sync device location has adequate signal strength, you can measure the Bluetooth signal strength at its
installation location.
Primex recommends using the nRF Connect for Mobile - allows you to scan and explore Bluetooth® low energy devices. nRF Connect
for Mobile is available for iOS and Android™ devices and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
lA Smart-Sync Bridge advertises as Bridge, Smart-Sync Clocks and Repeaters advertise as a PrimexClock. The device's 12-
character Device ID is displayed to uniquely identify each device advertising.
lSmart-Sync Clock & Smart-Sync Repeater - the Bluetooth Radio Frequency (RF) signal is required to be -1 to -85 dBm at its
installation location.
lSmart-Sync Bridge - the Bluetooth Radio Frequency (RF) signal is required to be -1 to -75 dBm at its installation location.
Note:
During a scan, it may take up to 10 minutes for a clock or repeater to advertise its strength.
