IP PoE Double Sided Analog Clocks

VIP-A12ADS, 12” Round

VIP-A16ADS, 16” Round

INTRODUCTION

The VIP-A12ADS 12 inch Round Analog and

VIP-A16ADS 16 inch Round Analog Clocks enable

time indication, synchronization, and correction over an

IP-based LAN/WAN. This allows locating a clock

display anywhere on the network. Clock

synchronization can be programmed to sync with any

NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. The enclosure is

made of steel with a durable powder coated finish. The

color of the enclosure can easily be changed to match

any décor. Power is provided to the VIP-A12ADS and

VIP-A16ADS via a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

meeting the 802.3af specification. Only one network

connection is required, supplying power and data to

both clock displays.

MOUNTING/CONNECTIONS

A minimum of 18” (for the VIP-A12ADS) or 24”(for the

VIP-A16ADS) of network cable must extend from the

mounting location for connection to the RJ45 jack on

the Network Interface inside the clock housing.

A safety restraint cable (not included) is strongly

recommended to be installed in addition to the

mounting bracket attachment to the wall or ceiling.

Insert the cable through the back of the mounting

bracket, through the center support bracket, and out

the large center hole. Securely attach the end of the

safety restraint cable to one of the predrilled holes in

the center support bracket. The other end of the safety

restraint cable should be securely attached to the

building structure.

Remove the shipping screws holding the mounting

bracket to the clock housing. Insert the network cable

through the back of the mounting bracket, then attach

the bracket to a double gang outlet box using the four

inner holes on the mounting bracket. Use the four

outer mounting holes if attaching directly to a wall or

ceiling.

3 947752

Align the clock housing over the mounting bracket

flange and secure the clock housing to the flange with

eight screws provided (four each side). Confirm the

two screws at the opposite end of the center support

bracket are firmly tightened.

The Network Interface unit attaches to the center

support bracket inside the housing. Align the center

cable hole and two screw holes in the Network

Interface mounting plate with the predrilled holes in the

hanging rod and attach using two screws (included).

Feed the network cable from the mounting bracket into

the clock housing. Be careful to not damage the RJ45

connector on the cable.

Connect the network cable to the RJ45 jack on the

Network Interface in the housing.

Attach one 5-pin female Molex connector from the

Network Interface to the clock movement on the back

of the clock, then slide the clock onto the housing and

secure by tightening two screws on the housing.

Repeat this procedure for the other clock face.

Setup

Information specific to your application will need to be

programmed into the clock using a computer. The PC

used for programming should be connected to the

same subnet as the clock. Setup will be done using

the IP Solutions Setup Tool. Download the latest

version of the free IP Solutions Setup Tool from the

Valcom.com web site at www.valcom.com/vipsetuptool.
