Frequently Asked Questions
What battery size do I use for the wireless clock?
The batteries required are two (2) “D” cell battery. The recommended battery type is “Duracell:
Procell [D] size”.
Will the clock cause interference with any of my other wireless devices?
No, the SAL Series wireless clock works on 915 - 928 MHz frequency-hopping technology. The
clock switches frequencies automatically when the receiver and transceiver is open, thus interfer-
ence is avoided.
Is there any advantage to a powered clock system as opposed to a battery operated system,
assuming a single transceiver is in the building?
The powered wireless clock receives and transmits every minute and in locations where the signal is
marginal, the likelihood of receiving a signal increases because of the frequent transmission rate.
What is the advantage of having multiple transceivers on a powered clock system?
Assuming the distances between the clocks is sufficient to receive the signal with an analog clock,
there is no advantage of multiple transceivers on a powered system.
How long does it take for the clock to receive a signal?
Upon power up of the clock, the receiver will be turned on for a ten (10) minutes until the signal is
acquired. If the user wishes to manually look for the signal, press the Transmit/Receive switch
twice on the movement.
Can the clocks be set manually to display the correct time at installation (as a temporary measure
until the master clock is installed)?
SAL clocks can NOT be set manually.
