ATX6 Installation and User Guide

Introduction:

Lathem’s ATX6 is a Wireless Transceiver that can function in both “Master” (Primary), and “Repeater” (Secondary) modes.

In “Master” mode, the ATX6 can wirelessly transmit clock synchronization signals to Lathem AT series Wall Clocks, to other Lathem ATX-series Transceivers in Repeater mode and to Lathem RC Series Wall Clocks. It can provide RS485 Wired synchronization signals to Lathem LTRx-512 and LTR-0 Master Clocks and to DWA-S Bell Ringers. It can also provide a “Dry-Contact” closure to synchronize other timekeeping systems.

As a “Master”, the ATX6 can synchronize its internal crystal-controlled Real-Time-Clock to “Atomic” references that include GPS and Network Time Servers and other system references.

In “Repeater” mode, the ATX6 can receive and synchronize itself to another ATX series Transceiver in Master mode and re-broadcast the signal according to the AirTime Protocol, same as described above in “Master” mode.

The ATX6 can be set to transmit its radio signal at any of several frequencies licensed to Lathem’s AirTime system by the FCC, at either a 4 Watt or 6 Watt output power level. With an optional external amplifier that can boost the signal to 20 Watts.
