Viking’s model CTG-2A is a networked clock controlled
tone/message generator designed to provide accurately timed tones
and/or messages over your existing paging system. This provides
a cost effective way of signaling school period changes, factory
shifts, breaks, lunch periods, etc. The CTG-2A has four
programmable trigger inputs which are ideal for triggering
emergency alert tones/messages to indicate fire evacuation, severe
weather, lock down, all clear or can be used in store caster
applications for “customer service required” announcements, etc.
The CTG-2A can also be used as a master clock to synchronize
Viking CL Series wireless clocks (see DOD# 466).
The CTG-2A comes equipped with up to 6 minutes of CD quality
WAV file audio storage for up to 14 different tone/messages. The
unit is factory loaded with common school, business and factory
tones but can be programmed with your custom tones/messages
or updated from the list of WAV files from the Viking web site.
The CTG-2A can be programmed with up to 14 schedules and up
to 1,000 events allowing you to program an entire year or multiple
years of schedules in advance. The CTG-2A’s extremely accurate
time base can be manually synchronized, synchronized with 50 or
• Signal the beginning and end of class periods, breaks and lunch periods for schools
• Signal the beginning and end of shifts, breaks and lunch periods for factories/businesses
• Provide trigger controlled emergency alert messages for fire, flood, severe weather, lock
down, etc.
• Provide messages at specific times for store sales, promotions, closing times, airport
loading zones, etc.
• Provide Auxiliary contact activation at specific times for specific durations for controlling
lights, cameras, unlocking doors/gates, etc.
• The CTG-2A can also be used as a Master Clock to synchronize Viking CL Series
wireless clocks (DOD# 466)
60 Hz power or can be programmed to periodically synchronize to
network or internet time.
The CTG-2A comes with programming software and a network port
to allow PC programming of timed events, schedules, clock
synchronization, wave file download, message volume, day light
savings time, auxiliary relay control, etc.

Installation
IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC
outlet and the network. It is recommended that a surge protector be installed to protect against such surges.
A. Typical Installation: Automatically Switching Paging Audio through the CTG-2A for Time
Activated or Externally Triggered Messages and/or Tones

The telco page connection allows the CTG-2A to send paging tones through a PABX or dial access paging system.
You simply add a 1/10 sec touch tone wave file before each paging tone via Audacity or any other wave file audio editing
software. Wave files for touch tones 0-9 are provided on the CTG-2A installation DVD. See “Creating Touch Tone Wave
Files” application note, DOD# 898.
Note: The CTG-2A can only
output one wave file at a time
at the top of the minute. If
multiple different page tones
are required at the same time,
multiple CTG-2A’s should be
used. The CTG-2A is limited to
14 wave file memory locations.
Multi-zone paging will greatly
reduce the overall number of
paging tones that can be used.

The CTG-2A can send paging tones at different times to up to 4 different zones when used with a Viking model ZPI-4.
Since touch tones are used to select the paging zones on the ZPI-4, you simply add a 1/10 sec touch tone wave file
before each paging tone via Audacity or any other wave file audio editing software. Wave files for touch tones 0-9 are
provided on the CTG-2A installation DVD. See “Creating Touch Tone Wave Files” application note, DOD# 898.
Note: The CTG-2A can only output one wave file at a time at the top
of the minute. If multiple different page tones are required at the same
time, multiple CTG-2A’s should be used. The CTG-2A is limited to
14 wave file memory locations. Multi-zone paging will greatly reduce
the overall number of paging tones that can be used.
D. Using the CTG-2A as a Master Clock to Automatically Synchronize Viking’s CL Series
Wireless Clocks
Viking’s Wireless Clock System provides reliable, accurately synchronized clocks for your entire facility. Eliminating
dedicated clock wiring can save you thousands of dollars on installation and also allows for easy retrofitting of an existing
installation.
The system is comprised of a CTG-2A master clock, a CL-RFT clock RF transmitter and Analog or Digital wireless
slave clocks. Working on Viking’s 915-928MHz frequency hopping technology eliminates interference with other wireless
products and requires no
FCC license, eliminating
extraneous fees. The
received signal remains
strong even under the
effects of noise,
obstructions or long
distances which tend to
decrease the signal to noise
ratio. nstallation is a cinch
for our wireless clocks, just
insert the batteries or
connect power and hang
them. That’s it.
