NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B  
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide  
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed  
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or tele-  
vision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user  
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

FOR UNITS EQUIPPED WITH AN INTERNAL MODEM (24A715M)  
NOTICE: This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the mounting  
panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Regis-  
tration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested,  
provide this information to your Telephone Company.  
The registration jack USOC for this equipment is (RJ-11). An FCC-compliant telephone  
cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to  
connect to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack,  
which is Part 68 compliant. See installation instructions for details.  
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the tele-  
phone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in  
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of REN of all devices  
should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected  
to a line, as determined by the total REN, contact the local Telephone Company.  
If your telephone equipment (Modem) causes harm to the telephone network, the Tele-  
phone Company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may  
be required, but if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.  
You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is  
necessary.  
Your Telephone Company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations,  
or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be  
given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.  
This equipment may not be used on public coin service provided by the Telephone  
Company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. (Contact your state public  
utility commission or corporation commission for information.)

NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification  
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, opera-  
tional and safety requirements. The Industry Canada does not guarantee the equipment  
will operate to the user’s satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be con-  
nected to the facilities of the local Telecommunications Company. This equipment must  
also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s  
inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means  
of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be  
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service  
in some situations.  
Any equipment repairs made by the user, or equipment malfunctions, may give the Tele-  
communications Company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of  
the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are  
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.  
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should  
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician, as appropriate.

General Information  
This installation manual covers the Model 24A715 and 24A715M Master Clocks. Both  
clocks are installed and programmed in similar fashions. The main difference between  
the clocks is the 24A715M is equipped with a built-in modem capable of communicating  
with a PC, or for synchronizing with the NIST Atomic Clock. Both clocks have eight cir-  
cuits that can be programmed to ring bells or activate circuits for up to 99 seconds, and/or  
synchronize the time on three types of clock systems (any two manufacturing brands of  
clocks listed in Appendix B, plus compatible RS-485 time synchronization devices). You  
can program up to 512 events to activate single or multiple circuits on a given day and  
time. The 24A715M can also connect to a PC running Microsoft Windows® using op-  
tional MasterLink™ software available from Lathem.  
Unless otherwise specified, “master clock” refers to both units in this document.  
The master clock can be programmed with these functions:  
User password  
Date and time  
Clock types to synchronize  
Manual bell control (example: sounding a fire alarm)  
Bell schedules (with events lasting up to 99 seconds)  
Note: If a contact closurer in excess of 99 seconds is required, an external  
latching relay will be required. This relay is not supplied by Dukane.  
Dates when automatic schedule changes go into effect  
Manual circuit disabling (example: for safety during maintenance)  
Daylight saving time features  
Instant bell schedule changes  
Instant clock synchronization  
Holiday schedules  
Communications when using the master clock with an RS-485 network, modem  
access, or the optional MasterLink programming software (available from Lathem)

Semi-Flush Mounting  
The power supply portion of the master clock can be recessed into the wall, so that  
the display unit is semi-flush with the wall. This should only be done by a qualified  
technician.  
To mount the master clock semi-flush:  
1. Place the master clock on its back with the display unit facing up and the key pad to  
the right.  
2. Remove the two screws at the top of the display unit mounting plate.  
3. Lift the display unit up and away from the backbox. Two rivets at the bottom of the  
cover will prevent you from lifting it straight up.  
4. Unplug the ribbon cable from the back of the display unit to disconnect the power  
supply.  
5. Set the display unit aside.  
6. Prepare the clock’s position in the wall:  
The power supply backbox measures 12 inches (30.5 cm) wide by 6 inches (15.2 cm)  
high by 3-3/8 inches (8.6 cm) deep.  
The wall mount cover measures 13 inches (33 cm) wide by 7 inches (17.8 cm) high  
by 1-1/4 inch (3.2 cm) deep, and extends ½ inch (1.8 cm) around the backbox.  
Cut a 12-1/4 inch (31.1 cm) by 6-1/4 inch (15.9 cm) hole in the wall between two  
studs where you want to hang the master clock.  
7. Cut two blocks of wood for filler and attach them to the studs.  
8. Screw the power supply box to the blocks using the two holes on each side of the box.

Using the Installer’s Hooks to Hang the Display Below the Backbox  
When mounting the clock in either semi-flush or surface installations, the hooks on the  
back of the display unit mounting plate can be used to hang the display unit below the  
backbox to allow access for circuit testing and programming. See Figure 1-2.  
To use the hooks:  
1. Remove the two screws securing the display unit to the backbox.  
2. Lift the unit up and away from the backbox, leaving the ribbon cable attached. Two  
rivets at the bottom of the cover will prevent you from lifting it straight up.  
3. If you have a semi-flush installation, remove the green communications connector  
plug from the back of the display unit. This allows the unit to sit flat against the wall.  
4. Swing up the two hooks on the back of the unit and hook them over the bottom edge  
of the backbox. You now have access to the key pad for making program changes or  
manually activating the circuits, and access to the relay and connector blocks inside  
the backbox.

Rack Mounting  
The two L-shaped brackets and the box cover supplied with the master clock can be used  
to install it in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack. See Figure 1-3 on page 1-7.  
To rack mount the clock:  
1. Place the master clock on its back with the display unit facing up and the key pad to  
the right.  
2. Remove the two screws securing the display unit to the backbox.  
3. Lift the display unit up and away from the backbox. Two rivets at the bottom of the  
cover will prevent you from lifting it straight up.  
4. Unplug the ribbon cable from the back of the display unit to disconnect the power  
supply.  
5. Detach the display unit from the wall mount plate by removing the four screws on the  
back of the display unit. (IMPORTANT: Do not lose these screws. They are a specific  
length so they do not interfere with the circuit board inside the display unit. Using any  
other screws to attach the display unit to the case will void any warranty.)  
6. Remove the rectangular knock out near the top of the power supply. See Figure 1-3  
on page 1-7.  
7. Using the four screws removed in step 5, attach the display unit to the bottom of the  
power supply. To assist you, there are holes opposite the four screw holes where you  
can fit a #1 Philips screwdriver with an 8-inch (20.3 cm) blade.  
8. Reconnect the ribbon cable from the power supply to the display unit.  
9. Remove the two screws from one side of the display unit, then use them to attach an  
L bracket to the side of the unit. See Figure 1-3 on page 1-7. Repeat to attach the  
other bracket to the other side.  
10. Mount the unit in the rack.  
11. Wire the clock before attaching the box cover. See Wiring the Master Clock on  
page 1-8.

Wiring the Master Clock  
This section provides instructions on wiring the power source, secondary clocks, and sig-  
naling devices to the master clock. It does not cover the connection of the optional  
modem, a computer, any RS-485 devices, and a power source for the optional remove  
schedule selector. Instructions for those devices are provided in Appendix C.  
Stranded wire is recommended for use inside the power  
supply box, as it allows a firm connection to the quick  
connect terminals. There is also less chance of stranded  
wires interfering with the components on the relay board.  
If solid wire must be used, join the stranded wire to the  
solid wire in another box.  
The master clock is supplied with quick connects. These  
should be attached to the wires as necessary so that the  
wiring can be connected to the terminal blocks as shown  
in Figure 1-4.  
Figure 1-4  
Plugging Quick Connects  
into the Terminal Block  
—WARNING—  
Failure to properly connect the ground wire  
can increase interference and cause  
unsafe operating conditions.  
Wiring Procedure  
Figure 1-5 on page 1-9 shows terminal blocks P1 through P4, located on the PCB in the  
power supply backbox. Follow the steps below the figure to wire the clocks, power  
source, and signaling devices to the master clock.  
Notes:  
Circuits CKT1 through CKT4 designate bell controls. Circuit pairs CKT5/CKT6  
and CKT7/CKT8 can function as clock synchronization circuits or as bell controls.  
MOVs (Metal-Oxide Varistors) protect all relay contacts.  
Voltage-select jumpers connect to terminal block P4 for 120Vac operation. For  
clocks that must run at 220/240Vac, remove the 120V jumpers and install one  
jumper wire for the 240V selection. The system will automatically adjust for oper-  
ation at 50Hz or 60Hz at either voltage. Also see Terminal Block P4 on page C-2.  
Some clock setups may require external diodes or MOVs. See the wiring diagram  
for your type clock (see Appendix B).

Figure 1-5  
Master Clock Terminal Blocks  
1. Wire the power source to P4 as shown in either Figure C-1 or C-2 on page C-2.  
Note:  
The master clock is shipped set up for 120Vac operation. To wire it for 220/240Vac,  
change the jumper settings as shown in Figure C-2.  
—WARNING—  
DO NOT turn on AC power, and keep the  
power/relay unit’s toggle switch OFF until you  
complete the rest of the wiring in this section.  
—WARNING—  
Applying 220/240Vac power to a system not  
set up for that voltage level can severely  
damage the electronic parts.

2. Wire the secondary clocks to P1 and/or to P2. See Wiring Secondary Clocks on  
page B-2 for complete instructions.  
Note:  
You may need to add external metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) or diodes to synchronize  
a specific clock type. See the clock wiring diagrams in Appendix B.  
3. Wire the signaling devices to P3. See Typical Signal Device Wiring on page C-3.  
Note:  
If the master clock is not connected to any secondary clocks, signaling devices can be  
wired to P1 and P2.  
4. Although the master clock is fused internally to protect its electronics, the incoming  
AC line must also be fused as required by your local electrical code. Dukane recom-  
mends connecting the unit to a dedicated 10-amp circuit.  
5. Turn the toggle switch in the power supply to the ON position.  
6. Complete any mounting steps in the previous section, Mounting the Master Clock  
on page 1-2.  
Synchronizing Non-Compatible Clocks by External Pulse  
The master clock can synchronize to other systems if necessary. For example, you have a  
non-compatible time clock that cannot be synchronized by the master clock, but it has a  
built-in bell ringer. By shorting terminals 7 and 8 on terminal block P4, or terminals 6  
and 7 of the communications terminal on the back of the display unit, the master clock  
will immediately reset to 00:00 (midnight). If you can program the other device to close  
its circuit at 00:00 (midnight) then the two systems will remain reasonably in sync.  
—WARNING—  
DO NOT apply power to the external  
pulse-sync terminals. Simply close  
the circuit for 1–5 seconds.

Setting Up the Master Clock  
Once the master clock is installed, it is ready for programming. This chapter covers the  
programming instructions needed to set the master clock for operations.  
Note:  
To completely clear the clock of all settings and reset the master clock to its factory-  
shipped configuration, press the following number sequence on the master clock key  
pad: 355379768274. This clears all programmed schedules and reinitializes the  
master clock.  
Programming Relays  
If the master clock will control one type of secondary clock, relays #7 and #8 on terminal  
block P1 are used for this purpose. If the master clock will control a second clock type,  
relays #5 and #6 on terminal block P2 are used for those clocks. See Table 2-1.

Relay Usage  
Here are some possible ways to program the master clock relays:  
Eight bell zones that can last from 1 to 99 seconds. Use this setup if the master clock  
will not be used to synchronize secondary clocks. (Note: The maximum closure time  
provided by this master clock is 99 seconds. Closures longer than 99 seconds will re-  
quire an external latching relay. This is not provided by Dukane.)  
Six bell zones and one wall clock synchronization control. Use this setup if the master  
clock will only synchronize one type of clock in one string.  
Four bell zones and two wall clock synchronization controls. Use this setup if the mas-  
ter clock will synchronize two clock types, or if there are two strings of clocks  
(typically 20 to 35 clocks to a string).

Programming Functions  
This section explains how to put the master clock in program mode and configure the  
necessary functions to get the master clock running. For definitions of all functions, key  
pad commands, and the bell test, see Section 3—Function List.  
The master clock is normally in clock mode, displaying the date and time. To access pro-  
gram mode, press [#] on the key pad. Pressing [*] stops programming so you can re-enter  
a setting or quit.  
Entering the Password  
The administrative password provides access to both advanced functions and user functions.  
The user password only provides access to user functions.  
The factory-programmed user password is 000000, and can be changed (see page 3-6).

Choosing the Clock Types to Synchronize  
To select a clock type for the master clock to synchronize, use the [2]=SELECT CLOCK  
CTL function. This allows you to match the master clock to the type of secondary clocks  
installed. This function configures both clock #1 (relays 7 and 8) and clock #2 (relays 5  
and 6), if present.  
Notes:  
To check the current master clock configuration, use the quick command [*] while the  
clock is in clock mode. The CLK1 and CLK2 clock type code numbers appear in the  
fourth line of the display. (See Appendix B for a list of the clock codes.)  
If the master clock will synchronize Dukane digital clocks, verify that relay 7 has  
been replaced with the solid-state relays available in the Dukane kit #438-860. Then  
assign code 07 to CLK1.

Testing the Bells  
Use the AUTO BELL TEST function to turn on all bell relays once per minute at the start  
of each minute. This tests the continuity of the bell wiring circuits. This function does not  
require a password.  
1. If you have entered a password within the last several minutes, deactivate it by fol-  
lowing the instructions under Securing the Setup on page 2-9. If you do not, you will  
toggle the clock between 12- and 24-hour format during this procedure.  
2. Use the [6]=ENABLE CIRCUITS function to disable any relays that you do not want  
to include in the test (see Enabling the Relays on page 2-4).  
3. While the clock is displaying the time, press [2][3][5][5][8][7][8] to start the bell test.  
While entering this code, ignore anything that displays on the screen.  
Note:  
After you enter the test command, there may be a delay before the bells sound.  
4. When done, re-enter [2][3][5][5][8][7][8] to stop the test.  
5. Use the [6]=ENABLE CIRCUITS function to re-enable any relays disabled in step 2.  
Setting Daylight Saving Time  
If your region observes daylight saving time, use the [7]=DAYLIGHT SAVINGS func-  
tion to enter the country code so the master clock will automatically adjust for daylight  
saving time. The factory-programmed country code is 08 (United States). See Appendix  
A for a list of country codes.  
Notes:  
If your nation does not appear in the country code list, or if the dates for daylight sav-  
ing in your country have changed, choose code 00 and use the optional Lathem  
MasterLink software to program clock adjustments. If your region does not observe  
daylight saving time, choose code 00.

Wiring Secondary Clocks  
The next several pages contain wiring diagrams and theory of operation for the secondary  
clocks. These are listed in numerical order according to type code number.  
Note:  
All circuits should be fused or protected by a circuit breaker (10A maximum).  
The 24A715 and 24A715M master clocks are factory-equipped to operate analog clocks  
on the CLK1 output (relays 7 and 8), and CLK2 output (relays 5 and 6).  
—IMPORTANT—  
If the master clock will operate Dukane digital clocks, the digital clocks MUST  
be operated from the CLK1 output (relays 7 and 8), and relay 7 MUST be  
replaced with a solid-state relay to support the digital clocks. To obtain the  
required solid-state relay, order Model 438-860 from Dukane.  
TYPE 01—Synchronous Wired  
For a list of Type 01 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
In normal operation, the synchronous secondary clocks are operated from 24Vac or  
120Vac, using the 60Hz power source to maintain clock accuracy. An error in the time  
displayed by the secondary clock can be introduced by a power failure. The master clock  
will correct the time displayed on the secondary clock using two synchronization meth-  
ods: minute hand correction and absolute correction.  
Minute hand correction takes place once every hour, even if there is no error in the dis-  
played time. The master clock sends an eight-second pulse to the secondary clock’s  
correction circuit, starting at the 57th minute and 54th second, and lasting until the 58th  
minute and 2nd second of every hour. This causes the secondary clock to advance its  
hands until the minute hand is correct. The hour hand will still be in error at the end of  
this cycle if the error at the beginning of the cycle was in excess of one hour.  
If the secondary clocks are more than one hour off, the master clock initiates an absolute  
correction by sending a six-second pulse, beginning at 5:58:02 (both AM and PM) and  
ending at 5:58:08. This correction cycle takes a long time to completely update the sec-  
ondary clocks. Depending on how far off the secondary clocks are, the correction cycle  
can take many hours to complete. The correction cycle does not run continuously, so it  
may be difficult to establish whether or not the secondary clocks have completed their  
correction activities.

Please note that the relay contacts used in the CLK2 circuit are rated at 10 amps. The  
combined load of the correction circuit and the run circuit should not exceed 8 amps. In  
general, 20–35 analog clocks can be operated on a single string. This number depends on  
the clock style and the distances involved. To estimate clock loads for Dukane 24SS se-  
ries clocks, see the Dukane Analog Clock Installation Guide (document number  
402-455).

TYPE 02—Three-Wire Minute Impulse (59th Minute)  
There are two types of Type 02 secondary clocks: the three-wire minute impulse covered on  
this page, and the two-wire reverse polarity minute impulse on the following page.  
Note:  
For a list of Type 02 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
From the 58th second to 00 seconds each minute, a 24Vdc pulse is transmitted to the sec-  
ondary clocks. From the 59th minute through the 49th minute, the pulse is transmitted on  
both the A and B lines. From the 50th minute to the 59th minute, the pulse is transmitted  
on the A line only.  
Clocks that reach the 59th minute ahead of the master clock stop, since at this time they  
respond only to the pulses transmitted on the B line. During the 59th minute, from 10 sec-  
onds through the 50th second, 20 rapid pulses are transmitted at 0.5Hz on the A line to  
advance all slow clocks.  
An accumulator, designed in the software, counts the number of minutes lost due to  
power failure. Upon resumption of power, the master clock transmits pulses on lines A  
and B to immediately advance the slow clocks to the proper time. Resetting the time after  
a power failure terminates these correction signals.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (1 second ON and 1 second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are transmitted  
on lines A and B. The remainder of the pulses are transmitted on line A only. Normal  
minute pulses are inhibited during these pulses.

TYPE 02—Two-Wire Reverse Polarity Minute Impulse (59th Minute)  
There are two kinds of Type 02 secondary clocks: the two-wire reverse polarity minute im-  
pulse covered on this page, and the three-wire minute impulse on the previous page.  
Note:  
For a list of Type 02 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
Every minute, from the 58th second to 00 seconds, a 24Vdc pulse is transmitted to the  
secondary clocks. From the 59th minute through the 49th minute, the pulse is transmitted  
with line AB positive with respect to PC. From the 50th minute to the 59th minute, the pulse  
is transmitted with line AB negative with respect to PC. Clocks that reach the 59th min-  
ute ahead of the master clock stop, since at this time they respond only to pulses  
transmitted with line AB positive with respect to PC.  
During the 59th minute, from 10 seconds through the 50th second, 20 rapid pulses are  
transmitted at 0.5Hz to advance all slow clocks. During the rapid pulsing, line AB is neg-  
ative with respect to PC. Connect a diode as shown in Figure B-3 for arc suppression of  
the relay contacts.  
An accumulator, designed in the software, counts the number of minutes lost due to  
power failure. When power is restored, the master clock transmits pulses with line AB  
positive with respect to PC to immediately advance the slow clocks to the proper time.  
Resetting the time after a power failure terminates these correction signals.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (1 second ON and 1 second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are transmitted  
with line AB positive with respect to line PC. The remainder of the pulses are transmitted  
with line AB negative with respect to line PC. Normal minute pulses are inhibited during  
these pulses.

TYPE 03—Standard Electric Synchronous  
During normal operation, 120Vac is applied to the run motor. A 15-minute correction  
signal on the correction motor line causes a 12-hour correction from 5:12:00 to 5:28:00.  
This occurs twice daily (AM and PM). Run motor power is connected during the 12-hour  
correction. A 29-second signal is applied to the correction motor line from HH:59:30 to  
HH:59:59 to cause hourly corrections. During hourly corrections, power is disconnected  
from the run motor line.

TYPE 04—Standard Electric Time AR-2A Two-Wire, Dual Voltage  
Each minute, from 58 seconds to 00 seconds, a low-voltage pulse (24Vdc) is transmitted.  
The secondary clocks receive the pulses until the 59th minute. At this time, from 50 sec-  
onds to 00 seconds, a higher voltage pulse (48Vdc) is required to advance to the hour.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (one second ON and one second OFF at 0.5Hz), all at 24Vdc. Normal minute  
pulses are inhibited during these pulses.

TYPE 05—Three-Wire Minute Impulse (58th Minute)  
Each minute, from the 58th second to 00 seconds, a 24Vdc pulse is transmitted to the sec-  
ondary clocks. From the 58th minute through the 48th minute, the pulse is transmitted on  
both the A and B lines. From the 49th minute to the 58th minute, the pulse is transmitted  
on the A line only. Clocks that reach the 58th minute ahead of the master clock stop,  
since at this time they respond only to pulses transmitted on the B line. During the 58th  
minute, from 10 seconds through the 50th second, 20 rapid pulses are transmitted at  
0.5Hz on the A line to advance all slow clocks.  
An accumulator in the master clock software counts the number of minutes lost during a  
power interruption. When power is restored, the master clock transmits pulses on both  
lines A and B to immediately advance the slow clocks to the correct time. Resetting the  
time after a power interruption terminates these correction signals.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (one second ON and one second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are trans-  
mitted on lines A and B. The remainder of the pulses are transmitted on line A only.

TYPE 06—Synchronous Wired  
For a list of Type 06 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
The clock run motor receives 120Vac continuously, with 120Vac furnished to the clock  
correction coil for 55 seconds each hour from HH:58:05 to HH:59:00 to cause hourly  
corrections. Ten 120Vac signals are furnished to the clock correction coil (each for 95  
seconds) beginning at 5:05:00, 5:07:00, 5:09:00, 5:11:00, 5:13:00, 5:15:00, 5:17:00,  
5:19:00, 5:21:00 and 5:23:00 to cause the 12-hour correction. The final 12-hour signal  
ends at 5:24:35 (before the 5:30 lockout).

TYPE 07—Dukane Digital Clocks  
For a list of Type 07 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
—IMPORTANT—  
Dukane digital clocks MUST be connected to CLK1  
(relays 7 and 8) on the master clock. Also, for the  
master clock to operate Dukane Digital clocks, its  
factory-installed relay K7 MUST be replaced with a  
solid-state relay, part number 596-303, available  
from Dukane in the Model 438-860 kit.  
Notes:  
Dukane Model 24D20 and 24D40 are only used with 15Vdc power when being added  
to existing installations. In new installations, these two models should be used with  
24Vac power.  
See the 24D20 and 24D40 installation manuals (document numbers 427-11-00035  
and 427-11-00036) for instructions on establishing the current capacity for the 24Vac  
power supply.  
During normal operation the clock signal is grounded once every minute at zero seconds  
(HH:MM:00) to increment the time display. Once every 24 hours the master clock  
synchronizes all clocks to 12:00:00 AM.  
The master clock automatically synchronizes the clocks after a power failure or when the  
master time is reset. During synchronization the clocks reset, then after 40 seconds the mas-  
ter clock slowly advances the clocks to the correct time. The clocks can be manually reset  
using the [9]=SYNCH. CLOCKS function (see page 3-5), or by momentarily interrupting  
the AC power to the master clock.

TYPE 08—Rauland 2410 Digital Clocks (24Vac and 120Vac)  
Rauland 24Vac or 120Vac digital clocks initialize to 12:01 AM when first powered up.  
During normal operation, the clocks maintain time by counting the 60Hz AC line  
frequency. When the line voltage drops below 120Vac, the digital clocks start rapidly  
advancing at two minutes per second. After applying power to the master clock and en-  
tering system selection code 08, the master initializes to 12:01 AM and applies normal  
voltage to the digital clocks, causing them to set to 12:01 AM.  
After initial power-up, any time change made at the master clock causes the SYS LED to  
illuminate, indicating that the digital clocks are about to be corrected. At the 56th second,  
the master clock removes power from the digital clocks, then at the 59th second applies  
low voltage to the clocks, causing them to rapidly advance to the new time.  
When the new time is reached, the master clock reapplies the normal voltage. If the digi-  
tal clocks become unsynchronized with the master, they can be manually reset using the  
[9]=SYNCH. CLOCKS function. See page 3-5.  
When a manual clock advance is initiated, the SYS LED illuminates, power is removed at  
the 56th second, and a low voltage is applied at the 59th second, causing the clocks to ad-  
vance to the current master time, at which point normal voltage is reapplied.  
When a daylight saving mode, either forward or back, is initiated at 2:00 AM Sunday, the  
master removes power from the clocks and applies low voltage, causing the clocks to rap-  
idly advance to the new time, either 1:00 AM or 3:00 AM, at which point normal voltage  
is reapplied.  
Every 24 hours at 12:00:56 AM, the master clock removes power from the clocks, then  
reapplies power at 12:00:59 AM, causing the clocks to set to 12:01:00 AM, thereby syn-  
chronizing the clocks with the master clock.  
See Figures B-10 and B-11 on the next page for the 120Vac and 24Vac wiring.

TYPE 11—Edwards Dual Motor  
Power is applied only through relay K6 to the run motor for normal timekeeping. During  
power interruptions (while clocks are stopped) and during correction, the master clock  
accumulates the number of seconds. Immediately after power is restored, both relays K6  
and K5 operate. Relay K5 applies power to the 10 RPM motor for 1/10th the number of  
seconds accumulated, causing the clocks to advance to the correct time. After correction,  
relay K5 opens and relay K6 continues to operate.  
For daylight saving, the master either automatically de-energizes relay K6 to cause the  
clocks to lose one hour, or energizes K5 for approximately six minutes and 40 seconds to  
advance the clocks one hour.  
If the clocks lose their synchronization with the master clock, they can be manually reset  
using the [9]=SYNCH. CLOCKS function. See page 3-5.

TYPE 12—Cincinnati D6 Clocks  
Normal pulsing is sent out on lines A and C from second 58 through second 00 each  
minute. From minute 59 through minute 49, line A is positive with respect to line C.  
From minute 50 through minute 58, except from 4:49 through 5:55 AM and PM, line C is  
positive with respect to line A.  
To provide hourly corrections, 20 rapid pulses at 0.5Hz are transmitted on lines A and C,  
line C being positive with respect to line A, during the 59th minute of each hour from  
second 10 through second 50.  
To provide twelve-hour corrections, 20 rapid pulses at 0.5Hz are transmitted from second  
10 through second 54 of each minute from 5:00:10 through 5:30:54 AM and PM.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (one second ON and one second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are trans-  
mitted with line A positive with respect to line C. The remainder of the pulses are  
transmitted with line A negative with respect to line C. Normal minute pulses are inhib-  
ited during these pulses.

TYPE 13—Two-Wire Pulse Alternating (24Vdc)  
Every minute from 59 seconds to 00 seconds, a 24Vdc signal is applied on lines A and B,  
causing the clocks to advance one minute. The polarity of the pulse is alternated each  
minute to cause A to be positive with respect to B one minute, then B positive with re-  
spect to A the next minute, and so on.  
During power interruptions, the master clock accumulates the number of minutes lost.  
When power is restored, the master clock sends 30 pulses per minute to correct the  
clocks. The clocks can be manually advanced 60 minutes using the master clock. A total  
of 62 pulses are issued during manual advance (two normal pulses plus 60 extra advance  
pulses).

TYPE 14—Electronic Coded Clocks  
Clocks normally run with 120Vac power. For bells or clock correction, the generator  
prestart relay (K6) first turns on for the signal generator to reach frequency. K6 turns on  
at the 00 second after a programmed time or manual bell time. Then relay K5 turns on for  
three seconds, from the 10th to the 13th second, to apply the generator signal (coded cup  
start signal) onto the 120Vac. Bell circuits then turn on for three seconds, in the order  
listed below, applying the generator signal onto the 120Vac for decoding by the coded  
cups.  
The bell relay contacts must connect in parallel with the normally open contacts of relay  
K5. If it is not time for a clock correction signal, K6 turns off at the 59th second. At the  
57th minute of each hour, K5 turns on from 57:54 to 58:02, applying the 8-second hourly  
correction generator signal onto the 120Vac. At 5:57 AM and 5:57 PM (12-hr correction),  
K5 turns on from 5:57:54 to 5:57:08, applying a 14-second 12-hour correction generator  
signal onto the 120Vac. For daylight saving, the clocks advance to the proper time by  
normal 12-hour correction, not at 2:00 AM. See Figure B-16 on page B-19.  
The time sequence of each relay operation is listed below.

TYPE 15—Straight Frequency  
Clock correction and bell circuit operations are generated by sequentially applying vari-  
ous frequencies onto the 120Vac. Each bell and clock correction circuit has its own  
frequency and a receiver circuit that applies the associated bell or clock frequency  
(3,510Hz normally used for clock signals). The daylight saving feature advances clocks  
correctly but has no means, other than normal 12-hour correction, to correct secondary  
clocks at 2:00 AM. The time sequence of applying the frequencies to the 120Vac is  
shown below and is controlled by the bell and system relays in the master clock.

TYPE 16—Three-Wire Minute Impulse (59th Minute) with 12-Hour Correction  
There are two types of type 16 secondary clocks: the three-wire minute impulse covered  
on this page, and the two-wire reverse polarity minute impulse on the following page.  
Each hour from the 59th minute through the 49th minute, a two-second pulse is transmit-  
ted on both the A and B lines, starting at the 58th second and ending at 00 seconds,  
causing all clocks to advance each minute. From the 50th minute to the 59th minute,  
transmission is on the A line only.  
Clocks that are less than 10 minutes fast stop at the 59th minute since they transfer to the  
B line at this time. Every hour, starting at the 59th minute and 10 seconds, 20 rapid pulses  
at 0.5Hz are transmitted on the A line. Slow clocks are advanced at this pace. Every 12  
hours, from 6:02 through 6:44, 23 rapid pulses are transmitted each minute on the A line,  
with transmission starting at 10 seconds after and ending at 55 seconds after. Clocks that  
are more than one hour slow are rapidly advanced to the correct time.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (one second ON and one second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are trans-  
mitted on both lines A and B. The remainder of the pulses are transmitted on line A only.  
Normal minute pulses are inhibited during these pulses.

TYPE 16—Two-Wire Reverse Polarity Minute Impulse (59th Minute) with  
12-Hour Correction  
There are two types of type 16 secondary clocks: the two-wire reverse polarity minute  
impulse covered on this page, and the three-wire minute impulse on the previous page.  
Each hour, from the 59th minute through the 49th minute, a two-second pulse is transmit-  
ted between lines AB and PC (with AB positive with respect to PC), starting at the 58th  
second and ending at 00 second. This causes all clocks to advance each minute. From the  
50th minute to the 59th minute, transmission is such that PC is positive with respect to  
AB. Clocks that are less than 10 minutes fast stop at the 59th minute, since their SR con-  
tacts transfer and require a pulse with AB positive with respect to PC to advance at this  
time.  
Each hour, starting at the 59th minute and 10 seconds, 20 rapid pulses at 0.5Hz are trans-  
mitted with line PC positive with respect to AB. Slow clocks are advanced at this pace.  
Every 12 hours, from 6:02 through 6:44, 23 rapid pulses are transmitted each minute, line  
PC positive with respect to line AB, with transmission starting at 10 seconds after and  
ending at 55 seconds after. Clocks that are more than one hour slow are rapidly advanced  
to the correct time.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (one second ON and one second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are trans-  
mitted with line AB negative with respect to line PC. Normal minute pulses are inhibited  
during these pulses. Types of secondary clocks covered by this configuration are the  
same as under three-wire on the previous page.

TYPE 17—Standard Electric Time AR-3 Three-Wire Impulse  
Each minute from 58 seconds to 00 seconds, a pulse is transmitted on line. The secondary  
clocks receive the pulses on line A until the 58th minute. At this time, from 50 seconds to  
00 seconds, a pulse on line B is required to advance to the 59th minute.

TYPE 18—National Synchronous Wired  
For a list of Type 18 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
Relay K5 is normally operated to power the clock run motors. Each hour from HH:00:00  
to HH:00:28, relay K6 is operated to power the clock correction coils for 28 seconds and  
cause hourly corrections. Every 12 hours, from 6:00:00 to 6:27:27, relay K6 is again op-  
erated to power the clock correction coils for 27 minutes, causing 12-hour correction.  
Manual clock corrections can be issued from the master during any even-numbered  
minute except 00.

TYPE 19—Stromberg Synchronous Wired (56th Minute)  
For a list of Type 19 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
This clock is normally operated by 120Vac/24Vac. Relay K5 is normally operated to sup-  
ply motor power. Relay K6 activates each hour from HH:56:10 to HH:56:18, causing an  
eight-second signal to be transmitted on the correction line for hourly correction. Relay  
K6 activates every 12 hours, from 11:56:36 to 11:56:50, causing an additional 14-second  
signal to be transmitted on the correction line for 12-hour correction. During power inter-  
ruptions and automatic clock resetting, relay K5 is deactivated.  
Note:  
Lathem SS Modified wall clocks operate according to the above signal operation if  
modified to reference the minute and second hands to HH:57:16 (versus HH:59:00)  
and the hour hand to 12:00 (versus 6:00).

TYPE 20—Three-Wire Minute Impulse (44th Minute)  
Every minute, from the 58th second to 00 seconds, a 24Vdc pulse is transmitted to the  
secondary clocks. From the 44th minute through the 34th minute, the pulse is transmitted  
on the A and B lines. From the 35th minute to the 44th minute, the pulse is transmitted on  
the A line only. Clocks that reach the 44th minute ahead of the master clock stop, since at  
this time they respond only to pulses transmitted on the B line. During the 44th minute,  
from 10 seconds through the 50th second, 20 rapid pulses are transmitted at 0.5Hz on the  
A line to advance all slow clocks.  
Manual clock advances and daylight saving advances cause the master clock to transmit  
62 pulses (one second ON and one second OFF at 0.5Hz). The first five pulses are trans-  
mitted on lines A and B. The remainder of the pulses are transmitted on line A only.  
Normal minute pulses are inhibited during these pulses.

TYPE 21—Cincinnati D1  
Every minute, from HH:MM:58 to HH:MM:00, relay K6 is activated, causing an output  
on line A for two seconds. During minutes 07 through 58 only relay K6 activates, causing  
the output on line A to be 24Vdc.  
During minutes 59 through 06, relay K5 is also activated, together with relay K6, causing  
the output on line A to be 60Vdc to advance all clocks. Clocks that reach the 59th minute  
ahead of the master clock stop, since at this time they respond only to the 60Vdc pulses.  
Hourly corrections occur during minute 59 from HH:59:l0 through HH:59:49. During  
hourly corrections, 20 rapid pulses of 24Vdc are output on line A at 0.5Hz, causing all  
slow clocks to rapidly advance. All secondary clocks at minutes 59, 00, or 0l do not re-  
spond to the 24Vdc, but hold until the 60Vdc signal advances them. Manual clock  
advances cause a total of 62 pulses on the A line; the first five are 60Vdc and the remain-  
der are 24Vdc.

TYPE 22—Dukane Synchronous Wired (24A Series, Obsolete)  
During normal operation, either 24Vac or 120Vac is furnished to the clock run motor  
through relay K6. Power is removed from the run motor during power failures, while K6  
de-energizes during fall daylight saving changes.  
Each hour from HH:57:00 to HH:57:55, relay K5 energizes to furnish a 24Vdc signal  
to the correction coil. This 55-second signal causes all secondary clocks to advance to  
the 58th minute, thus synchronizing the seconds and minutes with the master clock.  
The 12-hour correction occurs twice daily, beginning at 5:59:00. Every other minute  
from 5:59:00 through 6:19:55, relay K5 energizes to furnish eleven 24Vdc signals of  
55 seconds duration to the clock correction coils (5:59:00 to 5:59:55, 6:03:00 to 6:03:55,  
6:19:00 to 6:19:55).  
These eleven signals cause all secondary clocks up to 11 hours behind to advance to  
5:58:00. Hours, minutes, and seconds are synchronized to the master clock after the next  
hourly correction at 6:58:00. Clocks more than 11 hours behind prior to a 12-hour correc-  
tion require two 12-hour corrections to advance to 5:58:00.

TYPE 23—Condor Digital Clocks (Model 2412)  
For a list of Type 23 clocks, see the chart on the first page of this appendix.  
Condor digital clocks initialize to 12:00 AM when power is first applied. During normal  
operations, the clocks maintain time by counting the 60Hz AC line frequency. When the  
line voltage drops to approximately two-thirds normal level, the clocks start rapidly ad-  
vancing at a rate of two minutes per second. After applying power to the master clock  
and entering system selection code 23, the master clock initializes to 12:00 AM.  
Every twelve hours, at 11:59:56 AM and 11:59:56 PM, the master clock drops K6, re-  
moving power from the clocks. At 00 seconds, K6 resumes operation, applying full  
power to the clocks, which synchronizes them and corrects their displays to 12:00.  
After time resets, manual clock advances, daylight saving changes, and power failures,  
the master clock drops K6 at the following 56th second to disconnect power to the clocks.  
At 00 seconds, K6 resumes operation, applying full power to the clocks and causing them  
to display 12:00. At 02 seconds, K5 operates to furnish low voltage to the clocks, causing  
them to fast advance at a rate of two minutes per second. When the new time is reached, K5  
is dropped, furnishing full power to the clocks for normal operation.  
If the digital clocks become unsynchronized with the master clock, they can be manually  
reset using the [9]=SYNCH. CLOCKS function. See page 3-5.

TYPE 24—Edwards Synchronous Wired Clocks, Type E1  
During normal operation, 120Vac is applied between the run motor and common lines to  
operate the clocks until the 58th minute. At HH:58:00 of each hour, the 120Vac is re-  
placed by 120Vdc between the correction and common lines for a period of 200ms, with  
the common line being positive. This pulse initiates hourly corrections for clocks that are  
less than 60 minutes slow. At 5:58:09 AM and PM, an additional 120Vdc, 200ms pulse is  
transmitted to correct clocks that are 60 or more minutes slow.

TYPE 27—Simplex 2310 Dual Motor  
Type 27 secondary clocks have the same hourly corrections as type 09, with the addition  
of 12-hour corrections as for type 03.  
Power is normally applied to the 1 RPM run motor. Each hour, from HH:58:05 through  
HH:58:59, power is removed from the run motor and applied to the fast advance motor.  
During manual clock corrections, power is applied to both motors for 4 minutes and 15  
seconds.  
During normal operation, 120Vac is applied to the run motor. A 15-minute correction  
signal on the correction motor line causes a 12-hour correction from 5:12:00 to 5:28:00.  
This occurs twice daily (AM and PM). Run motor power is connected during the 12-hour  
correction. A 29-second signal is applied to the correction motor line from HH:59:30 to  
HH:59:59 to cause hourly corrections. During hourly corrections, power is disconnected  
from the run motor line.

Wiring Signal Devices to the Master Clock  
Typically, signal devices (such as bells or lights) are wired to terminal block P3. If no  
secondary clocks are connected to terminal blocks P1 or P2, signal devices can also be  
wired to those blocks. See the figures below.  
Zone 7A and 7B operate together, and 5A and 5B operate together. You can use either of  
these circuits for bells. All circuits should be fused or protected by a circuit breaker  
(10A maximum).

The Communications Terminal Block  
When making connections to the communications terminal block, keep the following in  
mind:  
Twisted-pair (Cat-3/Cat-5) wire connects directly to the terminal block, with up to  
two wires per position.  
The pulse-sync input is the same as provided in the power supply. A one-second  
(minimum) dry-contact switch closure across the terminals will cause the master  
clock to reset the time to 12:00 AM of the nearest date.  
Grounds (GND) are signal grounds, not chassis grounds.  
Wiring the Host Communications Terminals  
The host communications terminals on the communications terminal block include:  
RS-232—Three terminal block contacts for RS-232 communications with an IBM-  
compatible computer running the optional Lathem MasterLink programming software.  
Notes:  
This terminal is typically used for a permanent connection to a computer. To make a  
cable to connect the computer to the RS-232 terminals, see Figure C-7 on page C-5.  
For a temporary computer connection, see Connecting a Computer to the Front Ac-  
cess Port on page C-8.

RS-485—Terminal block pair for RS-485 communications with an IBM-compatible  
computer running the optional Lathem MasterLink programming software and SWIFT  
(RS-485 to RS-232 converter).  
MODEM—Modular connector for modem use. The optional internal modem can be used  
to dial out to the Atomic Clock at Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, or for a remote site using  
the optional Lathem MasterLink programming software.  
Wiring the DDC4R Communications Terminals  
The DDC4R communications terminals on the communications terminal block include:  
SYNC IN—Terminal block pair used to receive RS-485 synchronization from another  
Dukane master product or radio synchronization device, or to transmit the 24A715/M  
synchronization commands to up to 30 RS-485 devices, including master and wall clocks.  
SYNC OUT—Terminal block pair used to buffer and repeat a received RS-485 synchro-  
nization signal, or to transmit the 24A715/M synchronization commands to up to 30  
additional RS-485 devices.  
Notes:  
When first powered on, the 24A715/M monitors the SYNC IN line to determine if  
it should be a master or a slave. If it does not receive a time update for 15 minutes,  
it assumes it is a master and starts transmitting the time signal on the RS-485 synchro-  
nization line every minute. It will re-evaluate its master/slave status every day at the  
00:00 hour.  
When setting up the master/slave system, make sure you apply power to the master  
first, and connect the other 24A715/M to the SYNC OUT port on that clock.

Wiring RS-485 Time Synchronization Devices  
Up to 30 RS-485 Data Synchronization Devices (DSDs) can be connected to the sync ter-  
minals. Since the SYNC IN port can send as well as receive, 30 extra devices can be  
connected. If more than 60 DSDs are to be connected, another master clock must be used  
as a booster.

are used with the optional remote schedule selector (available from Lathem) when in  
close proximity to the master clock. Contact Lathem Time Corporation for details.  
—WARNING—  
This circuit is not fused separately.  
Attaching devices with a higher current  
load may damage the master clock.
