Instruction Manual

MERIDIAN
Installation / Operation Instructions
Installation:
Please follow this procedure before setting your clock; if using any of our wall panels, squares or free standing
mantle mounts, simply screw into the existing holes the two supplied right angle hangers. These hangers should
be screwed in so that there is approximately a 1/2” space left from the panel surface to the top surface of the
hanger. On the back of your tide clock you will find two (2) holes that will line up with the mounted right angle
hangers.
Align the holes and the hangers and push the clock against the wall. The clock will now be up against the three
rubber feet on the back plate and not the rim of the brass case. While still applying pressure against the rubber
feet, simply move the clock down so that it seats on the two (2) right angle hangers. If this fit feels to tight, back
the hangers off one turn – if too loose, screw the hangers in one turn.
If you are not using one of our panels, use the supplied template to spot the hanger holes on your mounting
surface. Using a #50 drill or a 1/16 drill, bore the two hanger holes. Now follow the above instructions for clock
mounting. Do not remove decorative screws around the instrument for mounting. Mounting with screws while
protective rubber bumpers are in place will cause premature failure.
Note: There is, by design, a small gap between the brass case flange and the mounting surface.
1. Turn rotating knob on the back of the clock. This will move the "minutes" hand. Rotate hand until
the clock is set to the correct time.
2. Insert a standard AA 1.5volt battery in the battery compartment (+ side first), observing proper
polarity.
Important Additional Information:
Your brass case is solid brass A70-30 Holloware quality with a durable lacquer finish. It is in fact a piece of
jewelry and should be treated as such. It should be cleaned at least once a week to keep airborne pollutants
(dust, etc…) and any moisture from collecting on the case thereby attacking the lacquer. At no time should you
use an abrasive cleaner or cloth on the brass case. Simply use a soft cloth or soft paper towel with a mild glass
cleaner to wipe the case clean. If your instruments are in a summer home, and you are not able to clean them
regularly, simply lay a small cloth or towel across the top two-thirds so that dust cannot settle on the finish.
