Product Overview
The TimeTrax Sync Clock System is an engineered modular time system capable of synchronizing wired, wireless, or Power over Ethernet (POE) devices using the TimeTrax Sync software.
Wireless Synchronized Clock System
The Pyramid Wireless RF Transmitter utilizes 902-928MHz frequency-hopping technology to wirelessly transmit synchronization signals from designated time sources to Analog and Digital Clocks. The transmitters can pull time from NTP, designated Network Time, GPS, or PC Time.
System Requirements
To operate the system, you will need a Windows 10 or higher x64 operating system, a Pentium IV 2.0 GHz or greater processor, a minimum of 8GB of RAM (recommended 16GB or greater), at least 20GB of free space, and a compatible internet browser like Chrome or Firefox.
RF Transmitters
The Wireless RF Transmitters come in different configurations like Shelf Transmitter with Software, Wall Transmitter with Software, Shelf Secondary Transmitter Without Software, and Wall Secondary Transmitter Without Software. These transmitters can capture time signals from NTP, GPS, or PC Time sources and broadcast them to an unlimited number of clocks.
Wireless RF Transmitter Installation
- Choose an appropriate location for the Wireless RF Transmitter.
- If using GPS as the time source, ensure coverage is within 250,000 sq ft or less.
- Locate the transmitter within 50ft cable reach and centrally for optimal signal distribution.
FAQ
- Q: How often does the TT Sync Wireless RF Transmitter broadcast time signals?
- A: The transmitter broadcasts precise time every 20 seconds using frequency-hopping technology.
- Q: Can additional Wireless RF Secondary Transmitters be added for extended coverage?

TT Sync Wireless RF Transmitter captures the main time source via GPS, NTP, or PC TIME.- The transmitter utilizes frequency-hopping technology to broadcast precise time between 902MHz-928MHz (128 signaling channels) every 20 seconds), to an unlimited number of clocks.
- TT Sync software synchronizes PoE clocks & enables Pyramid transmitters to be designated time source for TimeTrax™ Sync Clock & Tone Systems.
- Wireless RF Secondary Transmitter(s) may be added for additional coverage where content or construction obstructs the existing RF transmitter signal.
- One software controls all transmitters.
WIRELESS RF TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
Choose the appropriate location to install the Wireless RF Transmitter
- Attach supplied antenna to top of 9T1WI Wireless RF Transmitter by rotating in a clockwise direction.¹
- Place or mount transmitter so antenna is positioned vertically. This is required for optimum performance.Drill holes using template as a guide.
- Connect Ethernet Port to computer or network. The transmitter will be configurable from anywhere on local network.
- If GPS Receiver is to be used as time source, install and connect to GPS port of transmitter.
- Connect power supply (supplied) to transmitter and to any standard wall outlet.
- TTSync software controls more than one Wireless RF Secondary Transmitter.
- TTSync software will discover the device & assign global setting.
- All wires must be a minimum of 1 ft. away from the antenna.
- Using anything other than the included Power Supply or included Antenna in a horizontal orientation may be unsafe, cause improper operation, and violate FCC regulations.

SET UP SOFTWARE
- Contact Pyramid Time Systems for software access via download at:
- Phone: 888.479.7264
- Email: WirelessSales@ptitime.com
- Install TimeTrax Sync™ Software into a networked computer or one that is able to be directly connected to a transmitter via ethernet cable.
- Installation should automatically run once the software is downloaded and you open the file. The software will self-guide you through the initial stages of installation.
- After the software is successfully installed, run the program by double-clicking the Pyramid icon on your desktop. The Pyramid TimeTrax™ Sync Login Screen will appear. You are now ready to sign in.
- “User Account Control,” press “YES”.
- Enter the following User Name and Password (password is case sensitive): User Name: ADMIN Password: PTI
- Click the LOGIN button. TimeTrax Sync™ security is independent of Windows Security, therefore user accounts need to be created for all users. For security purposes, users of TimeTrax Sync™ are required to log in to usethe software every time. In addition, it is advisable to change the password for the ADMIN user account to prevent unauthorized use of the software to manipulate transmitter configuration settings. You can do this under the Administration/User Accounts.
- The software will automatically discover & list any Pyramid Ethernet device on the network.
- Before you program your settings, make sure your clock or transmitter is marked as Active and you have a green check mark under OK.
*NOTE: The firewall ports required are TCP Ports 3330, 3331, and 3333. The direction of the firewall access is both inbound and outbound which is needed for communication between a PoE clock to/from the software or an RF transmitter to/from the software.
