Overview of the Primex ClassicSync Solution
Learn how the solution works and how the system devices provide synchronized time.
Architecture
The Primex ClassicSync solution provides synchronized time using our 72-73 MHz unique broadcast frequency to transmit a
wireless signal to all system devices. The frequency allows the system wireless signal to broadcast through common building
materials and across longer distances with less potential for signal interference. The solution can be configured with either a GPS or
NTP time source. The system consists of a single Transceiver with an internal or external antenna, a GPS Receiver (optional),
Repeater Transceiver (optional), and the system clocks and other devices in a single building, to a campus wide deployment.
Time synchronization
Once a Transceiver has received its time, from either a GPS Receiver or NTP time source or another Transceiver, it sets its internal
clock. It then transmits time information over the 72-73 MHz wireless radio frequency signal to the secondary system devices. As a
result, the system devices are precisely synchronized to each other and all time and events are kept current.
Time Source: Transceiver receives time from a GPS Receiver or a NTP server and then broadcasts received time and event schedules
to clocks and other system devices. The Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver draws time information from the U.S. Government
Satellites. The GPS Receiver then sends the time to the Transceiver.
Frequency and channel: Transceiver operates on channels with 20kHz bandwidths and 72-73 MHz frequency and is preset to one of
the channels licensed by the FCC/IC to minimize interference on these frequencies and channels.
By factory default, a Transceiver with an external antenna: transmits (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). Transceiver also has a power-on transmit schedule that sets the duration of time the
Transceiver transmits (broadcasts) a signal when first powered on (factory default 8 hours).
Analog Clock signal search frequency: six pre-scheduled times a day at 10:01, 2:01 and 6:01 a.m. and p.m. lock time (not the actual
time of the day), a clock's receiver turns on to search for a Transceiver signal to receive a time update, starting with the previously
stored channel number.
Digital Clock/Timer signal search frequency: every 10 minutes on the 5's (5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55 minutes) of the hour, a clock's receiver
turns on to search for a Transceiver signal to receive a time update.
Transceiver power-up sequence
1. When power is first applied, it searches for a time source. It first searches for GPS and then NTP.
2. If a time source is not found, it uses its onboard real time clock (RTC) and continues to search for its time source.
3. If a time source is not found, the Transceiver is set to a warning state with a time sync failure status, its front panel Caution LED
status indicator is illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in time (default every 5 minutes).
4. If it fails to get time from either source consecutively for 30 minutes (default), it enters an alarm state, its front panel Error LED
status indicator is illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in.
8

DRAFT
5. If the RTC clock is off significantly, the Transceiver it enters a critical error state, its front panel LED Error status indicator is
illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in. Only occurs after the first 30 minutes of operation if the
RTC continues to be significantly off.
Transceiver power failure
During a power failure, the Transceiver continues to track time with the last valid time signal that it received. Once the power had
been restored, the Transceiver begins to broadcast (even without a valid time signal) to the down-stream components. Once the
Transceiver has been powered on for a few hours, it's capable of keeping track of time off its internal backup power for up to eight
hours.
lThe system has a fail-safe design. If the failure of a system component or power loss to a component occurs, all down-stream
components continue normal operations using their own internal time base.
lIf after a specified period of time communication has not been restored, a visual indicator on its front panel is illuminated and its
state is sent to OneVue during its next scheduled check-in. It remains in this state until communication is restored.
NOTE
In the event power to a Transceiver is shut off and turned back on (power cycled) the Transceiver will broadcast
continuously based on its Power-on Transmit schedule (default 8 hours). Power cycling the Transceiver can be used to
set/reset system devices. It's not recommended to power-cycle a Transceiver when in an error state, as indicated when its
front panel Error LED indicator is illuminated.

Install location requirements
When planning the system installation of a Transceiver with an External Antenna, Primex recommends taking into consideration the
below guidelines. Location is extremely important to ensure the best operation of your system.
lTransceiver should be located on the tallest building near center of area of coverage. In a multi-story building, locate Transceiver
on the top floor; significantly improves coverage to the lower floors due to the “umbrella” pattern of transmission.
lTransceiver must be located within 100 ft. (30.4 m) from the antenna. The maximum cable length allowed between the external
antenna and Transceiver is 100 ft. (30.4 m). The system is attenuated to the 100 ft. (30.4 m) of coaxial cable; typically figure
between 80 to 85 ft. of usable cable length.
lTransceiver must be located a minimum of 4 ft. (1.2 m) above the floor.
lTransceiver must be located within 3 ft. (0.9 m) from a 120 VAC electrical outlet. 10 AMP dedicated service recommended.
lTransceiver must be located in a controlled environment that is 32 to 122° F (0 to 50° C) and non-condensing humidity
environment.
lExternal antenna must be located at a minimum of 15 ft. (4.5 m) clear from the radius of other antennas.
