ATX6 Installation and User Guide
Page 1
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.
