Replacing the Circuit Board Batteries The ATR240 is equipped with (1) CR2032 3v Lithium Coin Cell battery on the Main board. The battery should last approximately 1.5 to 2 years under normal operating conditions. Do not attempt to replace the battery as it will void your warranty. If your clock is already out of warranty you can attempt to replace the batteries yourself but note that you could damage the board if you short out any components on the circuit board.
Installing the Operational Battery Pack First unplug the clock. The door to the battery pack compartment is located on the bottom edge of the back of the clock. Remove the screw that secures the door. The door may be tightly fitted. Insert a thin knife blade under the bottom of the door at the screw end and rotate the blade to open the door. Insert Blade Here Connect the battery cable to the connector on the left side of the compartment.
Appendix Connecting External Signal Devices (Bells & Horns) The connections for an external signal device (bells, horns, buzzers, chimes, etc.), are made via a 2-wire Green terminal block on the back of the clock above the power jack. Connections are made by pressing the orange wire release tabs below each wire hole, fully inserting the wire and releasing the clip. Gently pull on the wires to make sure they are firmly secured in the terminal block. In order to use a bell or horn a relay is required.
When a signal is activated by the clock the internal contacts of the relay close and complete the circuit. These internal contacts are "dry" and supply no voltage. Voltage applied to these contacts must not exceed 30 volts. The relay then activates the 120v external signal device such as: 65-0103-000 "Grille Horn" 65-0104-000 "4-1/4" Bell" 65-0105-000 "8" Bell" For more information about connecting an external signal device using a relay go to http://support.acroprint.
