Product Description
Slim Pace Clocks display time for time of day and pacing purposes. Six-digit clocks
display hours, minutes and seconds. Four-digit clocks can display either hours and
minutes, or minutes and seconds.
Clocks set to the same channel and PAN ID will automatically synchronize with each
other. Synchronization is controlled by an internal certified radio with an internal patch
antenna which is protected from damage. The clocks feature an indoor/outdoor metal
enclosure with a slim profile and a plastic weather cover over the digits.
Clocks can display workout reps and sets from a wireless segment timer, or scoreboard
data from a wireless tabletop controller or a wireless handheld controller. In order to do
so, a clock must be set to the same Channel and PAN as the controller. Additionally, the
clock’s Module number must be selected as active in the appropriate menu of the
controller (see controller manual for more information.)
The default factory settings are channel 4, PAN 0 and module address 1.To
change these use the clock’s push button, described on page 4. You can also set them
by changing the switch settings on the clock’s control board, as described on page 7.
Mounting and Power Connection
Physical Installation
Determine the location for your pace clock. It is your responsibility to choose a location
where the wall composition or mounting structure can support the weight of the slim
pace clock. Use appropriate mounting hardware for the weight of the clock and its
environment. The keyhole slots in the back of the clock are .359 inches at the bottom to
accommodate the head of the screw, and .172 inches at the top, to accommodate the
shank of the screw. Installation must meet all national and local codes. The 6-digit slim
pace clock is pictured below.

Electrical Installation
Loosen strain relief on left side of clock and pull recessed power cord from enclosure.
Connect to standard outlet (120V or 230V) no further than 6 feet from left end of clock
with the internally wired power cord. The pace clock is grounded through the power
connection. For outdoor installation, the clock can only be used with an outdoor rated
receptacle.
Hard Wired Installation
Tools required:
Flat head screwdriver
Phillips head screwdriver
5/16” and 11/32” nut drivers
Note: this step must be done by a qualified electrician.
1. Detach the weather cover by turning the slotted studs a quarter turn using a
flathead screwdriver so that they are vertical. Remove the weather cover and set
it in a safe place.
2. The Termination Block is located under the second digit from the left of the unit.
3. Remove the digit(s) covering the termination block. Using a Phillips head
screwdriver, unscrew the retaining screws and pull the digit partially away from
the board. Disconnect the digit cable. Remove the digit and set it and the
retaining screws in a safe place.
4. Determine the best location for power to enter the scoreboard. There are
knockout locations on the left and right sides of the clock. If the better location is
the left side where the power cord with AC plug currently is, skip to step 6.
5. If the right side is the better location, carefully remove the small knock out.
6. Remove terminal block cover by removing the kepnuts
holding it in place with the 5/16” nut driver.
7. Use the 11/32” nut driver to loosen the kepnuts securing
the wire clamp.
8. Disconnect the power cord with AC plug from the terminal
block, and remove it. Save the strain relief for later use.
9. If the power is entering from the right side, fill the hole in the left side with the
appropriate size blank.
10. Feed cord or wires from the outside through the scoreboard to the terminal block,
using the strain relief provided or its equivalent. Tighten the strain relief nut inside
the scoreboard, leaving the outside cable nut loose until later.
11. At power connection, feed wires under the wire clamp as shown. Connect the
Line and Neutral wires as labeled, and connect the Ground wire to the ground
screw, as shown. Tighten the wire clamp with 11/32” nut driver until just snug.
Cover with the terminal block cover, with the wires exiting through the holes in
the sides, taking care not to damage the sheath of the power cable or power
wires.

12. Insert excess power cord into enclosure and tighten cable nut of strain relief on
the outside of the scoreboard.
An optional cover for the power cable is available for both the 6 digit and 4 digit slim
pace clocks. It can be installed on the right or left. To install, place the cover over the
power cable, line up the screw holes on the cover with the holes on the pace clock and
secure to the top and bottom of the pace clock using the 4 supplied screws.
Operating Instructions

(see page 5).
Initial Set Up
1. Choose a centrally located clock or scoreboard to designate as Leader
2. Configure Leader and set time
3. Designate all other clocks as Follower
4. Do not set more than one clock as leader; if you do, follower clocks will not
behave correctly.

Configuring
Hold the push button for 2 seconds and release to cause the clock to enter the menu.
The clock enters Menu 1, as described below. Once in the menu, hold the button for one
second to advance to the next menu item. If you continue to hold, the clock will step
through the menu options every second. Release the button when you are in the menu
option you wish to set.
Menu 1: Leader or Follower
Displays FOLL and alternates to Lead with each button click. When the choice you want
is displayed, press and hold the button for one second to advance to the next menu.
Once a clock is designated Leader, the next three menus allow you to set 12 or 24 hour
clock format, hours and minutes. Clocks that are designated as Followers do not have
these options.
Menu 2: 12 or 24 hour clock format
Displays __ 12 and alternates to __ 24 with each button click. This must be set
individually for each clock. When the choice you want is displayed, press and hold the
button for one second to advance to the next menu.
Menu 3: Hours
With each button click the clock will increment through the hours 1-12 or 1-24,
depending on the previous menu setting. For the 12 hour format, at 12 the decimal of the
fourth digit from the left will light or go out. Lit indicates p.m. and unlit indicates a.m.
When the choice you want is displayed, press and hold the button for one second to
advance to the next menu.
Menu 4: Minutes
Displays __:28. Each click increments by one minute. When the choice you want is
displayed, press and hold the button for one second to advance to the next menu.
To change their time, turn all of the clocks on, and set the time on the Leader clock. As
soon as time is changed on that clock and you have exited the menu, it will send the
selected settings to the Follower clocks.
Setting intensity, channel, PAN and module address
Other settings including, time shifting, intensity (brightness of the digits), module,
channel and PAN must be set individually for each clock to accommodate clocks in
different environments (shade and sun, for example).
Menu 5: Time shifting
Set a 4-digit clock to display hours and minutes or minutes and seconds. With each
button click, displays HH:__ and alternates to __:SS (which looks like __:55). HH will
display hours and minutes (HH:MM), and MM will display minutes and seconds
(MM:SS). This must be set individually for each clock. Note: __:SS is not practical on a
6-digit clock; if used, the display will show MM:SS:__ When the choice you want is
displayed, press and hold the button for one second to advance to the next menu.

Changing Module, Channel and PAN at the control board
The most convenient way to change the clock’s module, channel and PAN is with the
push button (see page 5). You can also change them by changing the switch settings on
the clock’s control board, as described here.
1. Make certain the unit is disconnected from AC power.
2. Remove the weather cover by turning the slotted studs a quarter turn using a
flathead screwdriver so that they are vertical. Remove the weather cover and set
it in a safe place
3. Remove the second digit from the left. Using a Phillips head screwdriver,
unscrew the retaining screws and set them in a safe place. Carefully lean the
digit against the enclosure.
4. Set the channel and PAN using the dip switches on the circuit board:
DIP switch settings (Off = 0, On = 1)
Channels: Switches 1-4 of S2. 0 to 11 are valid
PAN ID: Switches 5-8 of S2. 0 to 15 are valid
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 0 1 8 0 0 1 1 12
1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 5 1 0 0 1 9 1 0 1 1 13
0 1 0 0 2 0 1 1 0 6 0 1 0 1 10 0 1 1 1 14
1 1 0 0 3 1 1 1 0 7 1 1 0 1 11 1 1 1 1 15
NOTE: switches 6-8 of S1, should not be changed.
Doing so will cause the unit to cease functioning properly.
Switches 1-5 of S1 have no effect for Slim Pace Clocks, and do not need to be set.
5. Reattach the digit and replace the weather cover. Turn the slotted studs to
horizontal. They will snap into place with moderate pressure.
