You will need:
- A RS485-232 Junction Box
- CapeClock RS485 LAN cables
(1 for each CapeClock to be interconnected)
- A DB9 to DB9 comport extension cable
- A flat-head screw driver
You can connect a number of clocks (up to 50) on the same
RS485 LAN using 8way modular cable.
If you have not done so already, you need to connect the RS485-232
Junction Box to your PC's comport using the DB9 to DB9 comport
extension cable.
|
| 1. Turn the power to the CapeClock off. |
| 2. Remove the CapeClock from the wall (if you
have already mounted it) by loosening the two mounting screws
at the bottom of the clock sufficiently to remove the clock
off the bracket that is mounted on the wall. Take care, because
when the clock is pulled from the screws holding it to the
wall-mounted bracket, it will have nothing holding it up.
To remove it from the wall-mounted bracket completely, gently
lower it, taking care that any wires that are already connected
are not strained. |
| 3. Place the CapeClock face-down on a protective
cloth so that the readers and front are not scratched. |
| 4. The first CapeClock needs to be connected
to the RS485-232 Junction Box. Thereafter, you can connect
the CapeClocks together (or to the other vacant RJ45 connector
on the Junction Box). Plug the one RJ45 plug of the RS485
LAN cable into one of the RJ45 sockets of the Junction Box,
and the other into one of the RJ45 sockets of the CapeClock.
The next CapeClock can be connected to the vacant RJ45 socket
of the first CapeClock, or the vacant RJ45 socket of the Junction
Box. |
| 5. Replace the CapeClock onto
its wall bracket, ensuring that the tongue of the back-plate
is inserted into the corresponding groove in the wall-mounted
bracket. Secure the CapeClock onto the wall-mounted bracket
(see Figure 3) with the 2 Mounting screws at the bottom of
the CapeClock, ensuring that the cable cover plate (see Figure
4) is correctly positioned. |
