1. Mount Housing to Wall and/or Gang Box - To mount the housing to the wall, install two (2) wall anchors into the wall (not supplied
in kit) and take two pan head screws no larger than #8 (also not supplied in kit) and drive them into the anchors leaving an 1/8th inch
gap between the head of the screw and the wall. Mount the housing to the wall by lining up the two keyholes in the back of the housing
with the two screws with the 1/8 inch gap and slide the housing onto the heads of the screws. Next, mark the 2 mounting holes at the
bottom of the housing on the wall. Remove the housing and install wall anchors at this location. Hang the housing on the keyholes and
install the bottom screws. To mount the housing to the gang box, take the four (4) 6-32 x 1” screws (supplied in kit) and screw them
through the four holes in the center of the inside of the housing and the four holes in the gang box.
Note: If using a metal gang box, a ground must be provided to the gang box.
2. Feed Wiring Into the Housing - Take the wire coming from the inside of the gang box and feed it through the hole in the middle of
the housing.
3. Plug and Secure Wiring - Loosen the provided wire clamp (comes attached to the inside of the housing) and slip excess wiring
through and tighten the clamp. After securing excess wiring, connect the wiring into the appropriate connector on the back of the
display board. (See the Wiring and Jumper Settings on pages 10-12).
4. Mount Display Board to Housing - Using the four (4) self tapping, 6-19 x 1/2” flat head screws (supplied in the assembly kit), take
the display board and screw it to the front side of the clock housing (4 screws per clock).
5. Snap on Filter - Take the red filter bezel and snap it on to the front side of the housing.
6. Snap on Frame - Take the gray frame and snap it on to the front side of the housing.

ABS Double Mount Installation (continued)
*For metal mounting bracket: Use a wall anchor that can support 50 lbs or more with a maximum
screw size of #8
1. Install metal mounting bracket - First, remove the metal mounting bracket from the inside of the double mount base by unscrewing
the two (2) 6-32 x 1/2” screws located on the underside of the base (save these screws for step #5). Next, screw the metal mounting
bracket to the wall or ceiling in which the clocks are being installed. To mount to the double gang switch box, screw the four (4) 6-32 x
1” screws (supplied in the assembly kit) through the inner four holes of the metal mounting bracket. Use the outer four holes to mount to
the anchors in the wall (both anchors and screws are not supplied in kit).
Note: If using a plastic switch box, a ground wire must be routed through the switch box and into one (1) of
the four (4) metal mounting bracket screws in order to provide ground to the metal mounting bracket. The metal
mounting bracket
MUST
be secured by both the screws going to the switch box
AND
the anchors going into the
wall.
2. Mount clock housings to pole - Align the hole in the center each housing with one of the three holes on the mounting pole where
the wiring will be routed (the installer will choose which hole at the end of the pole to use based on how far they want the clock to sit
from the wall). Screw from the inside of the housing into the four holes surrounding the hole in the center of the housing using the four
(4) 8-32 x 7/16” screws (supplied in the assembly kit - 4 screws per clock), securing both housings to the mounting pole.
Note: End caps from one side of each clock must be removed to mount both clocks to the mounting pole.
Remove one end cap from each clock from the side in which the mounting pole enters the clock.
*Instructions continued on next page
3. Screw both housings together - Using the two (2) self tapping, 6-19 x 7/16” screws (supplied in the assembly kit), screw both back
sides of the clock housings together (2 screws per clock).

ABS Double Mount Installation (continued)
4. Feed wiring through base and pole - Take the wiring coming from the switch box and begin to feed it through the center of the
base of the mounting assembly until it emerges from the hole in the center of the clock housing.Make sure there is roughly 1.5’ of
wiring coming from the switch box. Perform this task for both clocks.
5. Snap and screw base to metal mounting bracket - Snap the base to the metal mounting bracket by first making contact with
the lip in the upper side of the base and the metal mounting bracket. When the base has been snapped onto the bracket, take
the two (2) 6-32 x 1/2” pan head screws that originally came installed on the base and screw them back into the two holes on the
underside of the base to secure the base to the metal mounting bracket.
6. Connect switch box wires to clock harness - Take the wiring harness supplied with the clock and make all necessary
connections between the wiring harness and the switch box wires using wire nuts. Perform this task for both clocks.
7. Plug and secure wiring - Loosen and slip excess wiring through provided wire clamp (comes attached to each housing) and
tighten the clamp. After securing excess wiring, connect the wiring harness into the appropriate connector on the back of the
display board. Perform this task for both clocks. (See the Wiring and Jumper Settings on pages 10-12).
8. Mount display board to housing - Using the four (4) self tapping, 6-19 x 1/2" flat head screws supplied in the assembly kit,
take the display board and screw it to the front side of the clock housing (4 screws per clock).
9. Snap on filter - Take the red filter bezel and snap it on to the front side of each clock housing.
10. Snap on frame - Take the gray frame and snap it on to the front side of each clock housing.
