ATX6 Installation and User Guide

RC Transmit:

If RC EMULATION is enabled [Set-Up parameter #15, above, = ‘1’] RC Transmit is selected by pressing and holding RC (SET) for 2 seconds.

The ATX6 transmits one (1) RC synchronization signal to all RC-series Wall Clocks, as indicated by illumination of the UHF Indicator. This is helpful when installing and testing RC-series devices in the system.

During RC Transmit, lasting approximately 5-seconds, “Normal” operations are suspended.

Firmware Version Number Display:

The Firmware Version installed in the ATX6 can be displayed by pressing and holding INC, NXT and SET buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. The display will show “F1.14” for example.

The Firmware Version also displays for 2 seconds after power up.

This information may be helpful to Lathem’s Tech Support personnel, in the course of answering a technical question about the ATX6 product.

Battery Replacement:

The ATX6 includes a #BR2325 Lithium Coin-Cell Battery that maintains the Real-Time-Clock during AC Power Failures. Typical battery life, when the ATX6 is normally powered from an AC outlet, is eight years. As battery life may be less, depending upon your circumstances, it is suggested that the battery be replaced every five years.

CAUTION: Make sure that the AC Power Cord is unplugged before opening the ATX6 enclosure.

To replace the battery, remove the two screws from top case cover. Lift the top case cover.

Carefully slide the front panel assembly up until the battery’s location is accessible.

Using a pen point, push the old battery through the Holder access opening, so that it emerges from its Holder

Insert a new battery with the positive side pointing away from the board into the Holder and slide the front panel assembly back into place and secure the top case cover
