Install GPS Receiver (if applicable to system)
Mount Transmitter
Establish Transmitter connection and power on
Configure Transmitter with OneVue Device Configurator (ODC) app
Verify Transmitter operation
Install additional system devices
For a system with more than one Transmitter, first configure and install the main Transmitter and verify it received a valid time signal and then configure Repeater Transmitters. When all Transmitters are configured and installed, you can then configure and install the system clocks or InfoBoards.
Do not install system clocks and other devices until Transmitter and its components are installed and configured; powered on, time source configured and valid time signal received, and fully operational.
Review all installation requirements and identify the installation location of the Transmitter and system components.
Review all Safety Instructions and Warnings.
Inspect system components to verify packaging includes all supplied parts for each system component and verify no damage has occurred during shipping.
When planning the system installation of a Transmitter with an internal antenna, Primex recommends taking into consideration the below requirements. Location is extremely important to ensure the best operation of your system.
Location and mounting must meet all of the following requirements.
Multi-story building: locate the main Transmitter on the top floor; significantly improves coverage to the lower floors due to the “umbrella” pattern of transmission.
Transmitter mounting location: a minimum of 4 ft. (1.2 m) above the floor.
Transmitter shelf mounting: 18 in. L x 3 in. W x 16.5 in. (45.72 cm x 7.63 cm x 41.91 cm) mounting shelf available from Primex.
-
Transmitter enclosure clearance: located in an area that allows for required clearance.
Enclosure dimension: 2 in. H x 17 in. W x 12 in. D (5.08 cm x 43.18 cm x 30.48 cm). Required wall area is 24 in. W x 18 in D (60.96 cm x 45.72 cm).
Allow a minimum of 43 in. (1.09 m) vertical clearance; includes internal antenna 40.8 in. H (1.03 m) and Transmitter enclosure height of 2 in. (5.08 cm).
Internal antenna clearance: requires vertical clearance and distance of a minimum 5 ft. (1.5 m) from large, solid objects, such as lockers or filing cabinets. Antenna should never make contact with metal objects, especially electrical conduit or wiring of any kind, and proximity to these should be avoided. Internal Antenna height: 40.8 in. (1.03 m).
-
AC power: located within 5 ft. (1.5 m) from a 120 VAC electrical outlet. 10 AMP dedicated service recommended.
AC power supply (supplied): Input 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.6 Amp. Output 9 VDC, 1.78 Amp. 6 ft. (1.83 m) cord.
Ethernet connection (OneVue Monitor and NTP time source): located in close proximity to an Ethernet port.
Environment: located in an indoor controlled environment that is 32° to 122° F (0° to 50° C) and a non-condensing humidity environment.
The following tools and equipment are recommended and can be purchased from Primex.
1 Watt Transmitter Shelf. 18 GA metal, epoxy coated, 18 in. L x 3 in. H x 16.5 in. D
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
GPS Receiver location
Must be mounted where it has a "clear view of the sky" to receive a GPS signal 24 hours a day.
Typical mounting locations include the inside of a window (not a Low-E glass window), to an exterior pole, or on a rooftop.
Must be kept away from large metal objects.
GPS Receiver and cable must be mounted above any potential standing water, snow depth, leaves or other obstructions and is protected from the weather.
GPS cable
10 ft. (3 m) GPS cable supplied. Extension cables available from Primex.
Maximum total distance of the GPS cable to the Transmitter cannot exceed 200 ft. (60.96 m).
GPS cable located outdoors: cable routing to the inside of the building requires 2 in. (5 cm) minimum conduit and weatherhead. The use of a GelWrap splice enclosure is strongly recommended.
GPS and extension cables connections must be weatherproofed.
Supplied Ferrite Bead is required to be attached to the GPS cable to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) between the Transmitter and GPS Receiver. Ferrite Bead should be located no greater than an inch from the end of the GPS cable – as near as possible to the Transmitter GPS IN input connection.
A GPS Receiver is required when a Transmitter is set to use GPS as its time source. If GPS is not the time source, proceed to Step 2.
Mount GPS Receiver
Verify the kit contents and the installation location meets the installation guidelines.
From the outside of the building, route the GPS cable.
-
Assemble and mount the GPS Receiver unit to either the inside of a window (not Low-E glass) or to an outside pole or rooftop. The mounting location is required to have a clear view of the sky.
Note
Be sure to follow local building code requirements when attaching the GPS unit to the inside of a window. Clean the windowpane before using the suction cups for attachment.
Route GPS cable and connect to Transmitter GPS connection.
During this step, wire the critical notification input source to the Transmitter contact closure terminal block. Additional details provided below.
Critical Notifications are triggered by an end user from the five-button Critical Notification Panel or by a third-party system hardwired to the main Transmitter's industry standard contact closure panel.
The critical notification events displayed on InfoBoards are commonly be defined by your facility's emergency response plan. By default these events are preset by Primex and can be customized with a OneVue Notify Monitor subscription. A customization is defined as a change made to the Primex preset characters displayed by InfoBoards during a critical notification event.
To customize the preset events displayed on InfoBoards, see topic Customize preset critical notification events. A customization requires validation of the hardwired interface and thorough testing must be performed.
The Critical Notification Panel requires a hardwired interface between its dry contact terminal block and the main Transmitter's dry contact closure terminal block. This interface provides the activation of critical notification events displayed on Notify InfoBoards.
A Critical Notification Panel has five individually controlled contact closure switches and one common ground. Each switch corresponds to the panel's five buttons that change the state of each switch. A switch state change is activated from a momentary button push, which triggers an input state change to the Transmitter dry contact closure terminal block over the hardwired interface. An input state change activates the corresponding event number that is immediately transmitted over the 72MHz wireless radio frequency. When an InfoBoard receives an event number, it displays the corresponding event number description stored locally on the InfoBoard.
The main Transmitter supports up to two parallel Critical Notification Panel interfaces. Each interface requires a single cable run between the Critical Notification Panel and the main Transmitter contact closure terminal block.

During this step, wire the critical notification input source to the Transmitter contact closure terminal block. Additional details provided below.
Critical Notifications are triggered by an end user from the five-button Critical Notification Panel or by a third-party system hardwired to the main Transmitter's industry standard contact closure panel.
The critical notification events displayed on InfoBoards are commonly be defined by your facility's emergency response plan. By default these events are preset by Primex and can be customized with a OneVue Notify Monitor subscription. A customization is defined as a change made to the Primex preset characters displayed by InfoBoards during a critical notification event.
To customize the preset events displayed on InfoBoards, see topic Customize preset critical notification events. A customization requires validation of the hardwired interface and thorough testing must be performed.
The Critical Notification Panel requires a hardwired interface between its dry contact terminal block and the main Transmitter's dry contact closure terminal block. This interface provides the activation of critical notification events displayed on Notify InfoBoards.
A Critical Notification Panel has five individually controlled contact closure switches and one common ground. Each switch corresponds to the panel's five buttons that change the state of each switch. A switch state change is activated from a momentary button push, which triggers an input state change to the Transmitter dry contact closure terminal block over the hardwired interface. An input state change activates the corresponding event number that is immediately transmitted over the 72MHz wireless radio frequency. When an InfoBoard receives an event number, it displays the corresponding event number description stored locally on the InfoBoard.
The main Transmitter supports up to two parallel Critical Notification Panel interfaces. Each interface requires a single cable run between the Critical Notification Panel and the main Transmitter contact closure terminal block.
