Overview of the Primex ClassicSync Solution Learn how the solution works and how the system devices provide synchronized time. Architecture The Primex ClassicSync solution provides synchronized time using our 72-73 MHz unique broadcast frequency to transmit a wireless signal to all system devices. The frequency allows the system wireless signal to broadcast through common building materials and across longer distances with less potential for signal interference. The solution can be configured with either a GPS or NTP time source. The system consists of a single Transceiver with an internal or external antenna, a GPS Receiver (optional), Repeater Transceiver (optional), and the system clocks and other devices in a single building, to a campus wide deployment. Time synchronization Once a Transceiver has received its time, from either a GPS Receiver or NTP time source or another Transceiver, it sets its internal clock. It then transmits time information over the 72-73 MHz wireless radio frequency signal to the secondary system devices. As a result, the system devices are precisely synchronized to each other and all time and events are kept current. Time Source: Transceiver receives time from a GPS Receiver or a NTP server and then broadcasts received time and event schedules to clocks and other system devices. The Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver draws time information from the U.S. Government T Satellites. The GPS Receiver then sends the time to the Transceiver. Frequency and channel: Transceiver operates on channels with 20kHz bandwidths and 72-73 MHz frequency and is preset to one of AF the channels licensed by the FCC/IC to minimize interference on these frequencies and channels. By factory default, a Transceiver with an external antenna: transmits (broadcasts) its synchronized time to the system clocks and devices from the 39th to the 6th minute of the next hour and changes to a standby mode during the 7th to the 38th minute of the hour (standard broadcast schedule). Transceiver also has a power-on transmit schedule that sets the duration of time the Transceiver transmits (broadcasts) a signal when first powered on (factory default 8 hours). R Analog Clock signal search frequency: six pre-scheduled times a day at 10:01, 2:01 and 6:01 a.m. and p.m. lock time (not the actual time of the day), a clock's receiver turns on to search for a Transceiver signal to receive a time update, starting with the previously stored channel number. D Digital Clock/Timer signal search frequency: every 10 minutes on the 5's (5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55 minutes) of the hour, a clock's receiver turns on to search for a Transceiver signal to receive a time update. Transceiver power-up sequence 1. When power is first applied, it searches for a time source. It first searches for GPS and then NTP. 2. If a time source is not found, it uses its onboard real time clock (RTC) and continues to search for its time source. 3. If a time source is not found, the Transceiver is set to a warning state with a time sync failure status, its front panel Caution LED status indicator is illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in time (default every 5 minutes). 4. If it fails to get time from either source consecutively for 30 minutes (default), it enters an alarm state, its front panel Error LED status indicator is illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in. 8

5. If the RTC clock is off significantly, the Transceiver it enters a critical error state, its front panel LED Error status indicator is illuminated, and transmits its state to OneVue at its scheduled check-in. Only occurs after the first 30 minutes of operation if the RTC continues to be significantly off. Transceiver power failure During a power failure, the Transceiver continues to track time with the last valid time signal that it received. Once the power had been restored, the Transceiver begins to broadcast (even without a valid time signal) to the down-stream components. Once the Transceiver has been powered on for a few hours, it's capable of keeping track of time off its internal backup power for up to eight hours. l The system has a fail-safe design. If the failure of a system component or power loss to a component occurs, all down-stream components continue normal operations using their own internal time base. l If after a specified period of time communication has not been restored, a visual indicator on its front panel is illuminated and its state is sent to OneVue during its next scheduled check-in. It remains in this state until communication is restored. NOTE In the event power to a Transceiver is shut off and turned back on (power cycled) the Transceiver will broadcast continuously based on its Power-on Transmit schedule (default 8 hours). Power cycling the Transceiver can be used to T set/reset system devices. It's not recommended to power-cycle a Transceiver when in an error state, as indicated when its front panel Error LED indicator is illuminated.
