Bodet Profil 730 & 740 Analogue Clocks: Installation and Operation Manual

1. Initial Verification

Thank you for choosing a Bodet clock. This product has been carefully designed for your satisfaction based on ISO9001 quality requirements. We advise you to read this manual thoroughly before attempting to manipulate the clock. Keep this booklet during all the life of your clock, so that you can refer to it each time it will be necessary. Bodet accepts no responsibility for accidents resulting from any use not conforming with the above provisions. Any modification to the product will invalidate the guarantee.

1.1 Unpacking the Clock

Unpack with caution and check the contents of the packaging. It must contain:

• The Profil clock and this manual.
• 1.5 volt battery, type LR 6 for battery version.
• A cleaning kit (impregnated antistatic cloth).
• The clock support, delivered separately. This is included with outdoor and 230V AFNOR/Irig-B time signal reception clocks, and is an option for internal clocks.

Versions:

A descriptive label is fixed to the back of the clock, indicating the movement type:

• MN 24V: Clock is a receiver driven by a master clock sending minute impulses on a parallel line.
• SEC 24V: Clock is a receiver driven by a master clock sending second impulses on a parallel line.
• AFNOR TBT: Clock is a receiver driven by a master clock sending AFNOR NFS-87500A time coded messages; supplied in low voltage 6-24V.
• DHF PILE: Clock is radio-synchronised by a DHF transmitter and battery operated (2 batteries LR14 or LR6).
• DHF TBT: Clock is radio-synchronised by a DHF transmitter; supplied in low voltage 6-16V DC.

1.2 Cleaning

Use an antistatic product similar to the one provided in the original packaging. Never use alcohol, acetone, or any other solvent liable to damage the casing and filter on your clock.

2. Installation

Select the installation location, ensuring correct radio reception for models with radio synchronisation. The clock should be installed in a place free from electrical interference (e.g., cathode tubes, transformers). Avoid fixing the clock directly to a metal or reinforced concrete partition or wall. Optimal reception is achieved when the clock dial is perpendicular to the transmitter's direction, ideally near a window.

2.1 Single Face Indoor Clock

These clocks are typically hung on a screw head. (See page 8 for dimensions).

1. Install a screw (Ø 4 mm) at the desired height, leaving the head protruding by 3 mm.
2. Connect the clock to the data network via an Ethernet RJ45 cable (refer to the next page for cable connection details).
3. Hang the clock onto the screw.

2.2 Single Face Outdoor Clock

1. Run cables through the hole and fit the wall bracket using 4 screws (Ø6 mm).
2. Connect the clock to the time distribution network (see page 5 for details).
3. Present the clock onto the wall bracket, then turn it clockwise a quarter turn to lock it into its final position.

2.3 Double Face Clock

1. Fit the bracket onto the wall or ceiling using 2 screws (Ø6 mm). (See page 8 for dimensions).
2. Connect the clock to the time distribution network (see page 5) and the time network according to the distribution type (pages 6 and 7).
3. Present the clocks to the support, then turn them clockwise to their final positions.

⚠️ Attention: This double-sided version clock can weigh up to 17 kg. Mechanical stresses during locking must be considered. Installation on concrete walls is recommended.

3. Power Supply

3.1 Clock with Batteries

Insert the battery(ies), observing the correct polarity ([+] and [-] symbols). Caution: Do not drop, heat, puncture, dismantle, modify, or short-circuit batteries. Avoid contact with water or fire. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

3.2 AFNOR Clocks with TBT Power Supply

Connect the low voltage (TBT) power supply (6 to 24V DC) to terminals 1 and 2 using wire with a maximum section of 1.5 mm² and 5mm bare end. Polarity is not critical.

During a power outage, the clock operates for over an hour. If equipped with a second hand, it stops at 12 o'clock, except for silent clocks where the second hand continues moving. When the running reserve is depleted, the clock stops.

For silent clocks, operation continues for over an hour during a power cut. If the supercapacitor's energy is insufficient, the hour and minute hands stop, while the second hand continues until the supercapacitor is fully discharged.

Upon power restoration, if the AFNOR signal is present, the clock sets itself to the correct time. If the AFNOR signal is absent and the reserve was depleted, the clock positions itself at 4h or 12h.

AFNOR clocks synchronise continuously with the AFNOR signal, except between 2:55 PM and 4:16 PM, to avoid disturbing the hand position control phase.

3.3 DHF Clocks with TBT Power Supply

Connect the low voltage (TBT) power supply (6 to 16V DC) to terminals 1 and 2 using wire with a maximum section of 1.5 mm² and 5mm bare end. Polarity is not critical.

3.4 LED Lighting on Profil 740

TBT versions only: Clocks are equipped with a TBT power supply for the movement and a 100-240VAC power supply for the LED lighting (operates 24/7). To control the lighting (ON/OFF), the electrical outlet to which the LED strip power supply is connected must be controlled by the customer.

4. Setting

NOTA: To comply with security regulations, the time distribution network must be SELV-type.

4.1 Impulses Slave Clock

Time distribution networks transmit impulses; therefore, slave clocks must be set to the network's time. Adding a clock to a network does not require stopping it. Simply set the time, and upon receiving the next impulse from the master clock, it will increment by one unit (minute, ½ minute, or second, depending on the impulse type).

Minute 24V // Receiver

1. Connect the time distribution network to terminals 1 and 2 on the terminal strip (labeled 3).
2. Allow the clock to run for 2 minutes.
3. If the clock, or one of several clocks in a double-side mounting, is delayed by one minute (or ½ minute depending on the movement), reverse the connection on terminal (3) and advance the clock by 2 minutes (or 1 minute), then restart the emitter. This is because the same impulse can be positive or negative depending on the connection and the initial position of the movement, affecting whether it registers the first impulse.

Diagram: Minute Impulse Connection

Illustration shows connecting impulse lines to terminals 1 and 2 of terminal strip (3) and a setting wheel (5).

Second 24V // Receiver

1. Connect the time distribution network to terminals 1 and 2 (labeled 4).

A "Second" distribution network transmits only impulses, requiring the clock to be set to the network's time using the wheel (labeled 5).

4.2 AFNOR/IRIG-B Coded Time Slave Clock

1. Connect the time signal network to terminals 3 and 4. Polarity is not critical.
2. Upon power-up, hands set to 12:00 until a time message is received. After 3 successive coherent AFNOR time signals are validated, the clock starts and automatically synchronises with fast impulses.

Illustration shows connecting coded time signal lines to terminals 3 and 4.

4.3 AFNOR/IRIG-B Coded Time Silent Slave Clock

1. Connect the time signal network to terminals corresponding to the clock symbol. Polarity is not critical.
2. Upon power-up, the second hand moves forward 10 seconds and stops. When AFNOR synchronisation is detected, the second hand moves to 00h, and hour/minute hands set to 4h/8h or 12h00. After 3 successive coherent AFNOR time signals, the clock automatically synchronises with fast impulses on hour and minute hands.

4.3 DHF Clock

Ensure the transmitter is set to "Init" mode before clock installation. The clock is delivered in "Init" mode. To verify, upon power-up, the LED (L) should blink once per second. If not, shunt the two pins (P) for at least 4 seconds.

When inserting batteries (observing polarity) or applying power (for TBT clocks), hands set to 4h00 or 12h00 until correct time signal reception. The clock then attempts to pick up the radio signal and synchronises automatically if reception is good.

After 4 hours without synchronisation, battery-operated clocks stop searching for signals; the LED blinks every 3 seconds. To force a search, shunt pins (P) for over 4 seconds or reinsert batteries after a 10-second delay.

For poor reception, increase transmitter power or install a secondary transmitter.

Without power, the clock stops. Upon power and DHF signal restoration, the clock sets correctly. If power returns but the DHF signal does not, hands are driven to 4h or 12h.
