Product Usage Instructions

Commissioning Steps

Battery Operation (1.5 V): Insert 2 LR14 batteries into the clock.
230 V Mains Operation: Ensure the connection is done by qualified personnel following safety regulations.
Upon power application, the clock hands will move to the 12:00:00 position and start ticking after 3 seconds.

Reception Phase

If the red LED flashes and the hands do not move, check if the clock is within range of the AirPort24 transmitter/repeater.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Safety: Ensure all-pole disconnection of devices with 230 VAC mains supply voltage.
Maintenance and Repair: This should be done by qualified personnel or a specialist workshop.
Cleaning: Use a dry, clean, soft cloth for cleaning; avoid chemical agents.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if the clock hands do not move?
A: Check if the clock is within range of the AirPort24 transmitter/repeater or if the transmitter/repeater is operational.
Q: How often should I change the clock batteries?
A: The clock uses 2 LR14 batteries; replace them with new ones when the clock stops functioning properly.

The functional principle of AirPort24 radio-controlled slave clocks

AirPort24 is a master and slave clock system that transmits time and date information wirelessly via radio (869.525 MHz).
Range in buildings up to 250 m in a radius around the Air-port24 transmitter, up to 1,000 m in clear view, extendable with Airport24 repeater.

Commissioning (battery operation 1.5 V)

In the case of battery-operated AirPort24 radio-controlled slave clocks, insert 2 freshly charged 1.5 V batteries with the correct polarity (baby cell alkaline LR14).
The batteries must be inserted as close as possible to the intended final installation location to check whether there is sufficient radio reception.
Please only use alkaline manganese batteries. When the batteries are inserted, the AirPort24 receiver’s clockwork reception system switches on.
First the hour hand, then the minute and second hands automatically move to the start position “12:00:00”.
After approx. 3 seconds, the second hand begins to clock, and the green LED in the clockwork flashes every second, for more information see the section “Reception phase”.

Commissioning (230 V mains operation)

In the case of mains-powered AirPort24 radio-controlled slave clocks, please connect the 230V power supply to the mains adapter properly and professionally.
Do not insert batteries into the battery compartment!
The connection between the power supply unit and movement is interrupted on delivery.
Once the 230 V supply has been established, the connection between the power supply unit and the movement must be established.
To do this, plug the loose wire from the power supply unit output into the luster terminal of the movement cable,

Safety note

The 230 VAC mains connection may only be carried out by qualified and competent personnel (electricians).
The applicable national safety regulations must be observed and complied with.
After power is applied, the AirPort24 receiver’s reception system switches on.
First the hour hand, then the minute and second hands automatically move to the start position “12:00:00”.
After approx. 3 seconds, the second hand begins to clock, and the green LED in the clockwork flashes every second.

Reception phase

If the AirPort24 slave clock receives the time telegrams from the AirPort24 transmitter or the AirPort24 repeater, this is indicated by the first flashing of the green LED and is an indicator of sufficient radio reception.
Each further blinking of the green LED indicates that the time is being passed on from the AirPort24 receiver board to the clockwork electronics and is therefore no longer an indicator of sufficient radio reception.
If the red LED flashes (see Fault on page 3), the AirPort24 slave clock does not receive any time telegrams from the AirPort24 transmitter/repeater.
If the green LED flashes, the secondhand moves away from the start position every second. Within approx. 3 minutes, the second, minute, and hour hands will au-tomatically adjust to the received time at high speed.
The green LED goes out. If the green LED flashes and you want to know whether there is sufficient radio reception when changing location/position, remove one of the two batteries and insert it again after approx. 5 seconds.
For 230 VAC mains-powered AirPort24 radio slave clocks, disconnect the 230 VAC operating voltage for approx. 20 seconds and then reconnect it.
The first flashing of the green LED then indicates sufficient radio reception. If the red LED flashes, see the following chapter “Fault”.

Malfunction

If the red LED flashes and the hands do not move quickly to the start position “12:00:00” or do not clock away from the start position “12:00:00”, the AirPort24 radio-controlled slave clock is outside the reception range of an AirPort24 transmitter/repeater or the AirPort24 transmitter/repeater is not in operation.
For operation/commissioning, see the operating and commissioning instructions for the AirPort24 transmitter/repeater(s).

Notes, safety instructions

Safety

All-pole disconnection of stationary devices with 230 VAC mains supply voltage must be ensured on-site through appropriate disconnecting devices!

Maintenance and repair

Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by qualified and competent personnel in a specialist workshop or by Mobatime.

Cleaning

For cleaning, please use a dry, clean, soft cloth.
Do not use any chemical cleaning agents.

AirPort24 movement with Battery

Connect the power supply unit to the movement

The power supply unit has power reserve accumulators and is disconnected from the movement when delivered.
For commissioning, the connection must be established as shown in the following illustration:
