Configure Display Settings
Levo Series Digital Clocks and Timers have a dip switch control panel that sets its display settings.
How to access setting panel
To change the factory default settings, from the back side of the clock remove the small rectangular access panel. Setting
changes can be made while the clock/timer is ON and changes will take effect within a few seconds.
NOTE
When power is first applied to the clock/timer or the reset button is pushed, a decimal point will flash for approximately
three minutes while its receiver is turned on to search for a Transmitter signal. If the clock does not receive valid time data
from the Transmitter for 3 days, the red colon on the clock will flash.
Set LED dimmer display
The LED display is set to 100% by factory default.
To dim the LED by 25%, set the OPTIONS, DIM switch 1 to the OFF position and DIM switch 2 to the ON position, as illustrated
below.
To dim the LED by 50%, set the OPTIONS, DIM switch 1 to the ON position and DIM switch 2 to the OFF position, as illustrated
below.
To dim the LED by 75%, set the OPTIONS, DIM switch 1 to the ON position and DIM switch 2 to the ON position, as illustrated
below.
14

Set alternating time/date
To set the display of a to alternate between the current time and date, set the HR OFFSET- Time/Date switch (1) to the ON
position, as illustrated below.
Set display to 24-hour time
To display24-hour time, set the HR Offset - 12/24 HR switch (2) to the ON position, as illustrated below.
Set PM indicator
To enable the PM dot indicator,set the OPTIONS - PM DP switch (6) to the ON position, as illustrated below.
Set offset hours
The Clock/Timer displays the time received from the Transmitter. The hour offset is for application use when the clock/timer is to
display the time for another Time Zone.
15 XR Levo Series Digital Clocks/Timers Install Guide

By moving the appropriate “HR OFFSET” dip switch(s) and the direction (+/-) dip switch, any full-hour time can be displayed. The
“HR OFFSET” switch designates how many hours are offset from the current Transmitter Time Zone.
The clock reads the hour offset on start up, when the RESET button is pushed, and each time the clock receives data from the
Transmitter for the offset hours to go into effect.
Set audible buzzer (timer models only)
The audible buzzer is only on the count-up and count-down timer function. To enable the buzzer feature, set the OPTIONS -
Buzzer switch (3) to the ON position, as illustrated below.
Set Programmable Timer mode (programmable timer only)
For Programmable Timer models, the timer schedule is configured in the Primex Event Scheduler Pro software to the schedule ID
controller 24. The schedule is downloaded from the Event Scheduler Pro to the system Transmitter, allowing the Transmitter to
broadcast the schedule.
To enable a programmable timer to receive the broadcast schedule from the Transmitter, set the PT/TC Switch (5) to the ON
position, as illustrated below.

Install Levo Series Digital Clock/Timer
Installation Requirements
lRefer to the Important Safety Instructions before installing, operating or performing maintenance of clocks.
lBefore installing a clock, verify the system Transmitter is operating properly and sending a signal with adequate building
coverage.
Broadcast (Transmit) Schedule Transmitter with Internal Antenna: broadcasts its synchronized time continuously to the system
clocks and devices.
Broadcast (Transmit) Schedule Transmitter with External Antenna: broadcasts its synchronized time to the system clocks and
devices from the 39th to the 6th minute of the next hour and changes to a standby mode during the 7th to the 38th minute of
the hour (standard broadcast schedule). During initial power-up, the Transmitter broadcasts for 8 consecutive hours. After the
8 hour power-up period, the Transmitter reverts to its timed broadcast schedule.
lClocks must be installed at a location within adequate transmission range of the Transmitter.
lVerify the clock's settings have been configured before the clock is installed.
lAny damage to the clock due to improper wiring voids the warranty. It is at Primex discretion as to whether damage to the
clock was caused by improper wiring.

120 VAC Wiring & Power Specifications
120 VAC Wiring Requirements
Levo Series Digital Clocks/Timers are shipped from the factory with a power supply and power cord with a two prong plug.
The power plug may be removed and cord cut to length for hardwired (pigtail) installation. Pigtail installation requires a 120V~
power line in a junction box installed by a licensed electrician. Leave a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) of cord inside the junction
box.

24 VAC Wiring & Power Specifications
Follow all National and Local Building Codes when installing clocks.
24 VAC Wiring Requirements
All clocks should be connected to a single power source. If multiple power sources are needed to accommodate the load of the
clocks, all of the power sources should have the same rating and be installed on separate branch circuits. Never install different
size power sources on the same branch circuit.
lFor installations where 24 VAC wiring exists: gauge/length of the wire and rating for the supply transformer should be verified
to ensure adequate current supply and voltage for all connected devices.
lFor new installations: supply wire gauge should be determined to ensure acceptable voltage drop based on installed length
from the supply transformer to most distant clock to ensure minimum voltage (18 VAC) is assured.
Use two wire nuts, sized appropriately for the gauge of wire, to secure building supply wires to wires extending from clock power
supply.
