Introduction:
Lathem’s ATX6 is a Wireless Transceiver that can function in
both “Master” (Primary), and “ epeater” (Secondary) modes.
In “Ma ter” mode, the ATX6 can wirelessly transmit clock
synchronization signals to Lathem AT series Wall Clocks, to other
Lathem ATX-series Transceivers in epeater mode and to Lathem
C Series Wall Clocks. It can provide S485 Wired
synchronization signals to Lathem LT x-512 and LT -0 Master
Clocks and to DWA-S Bell ingers. It can also provide a “Dry-
Contact” closure to synchronize other timekeeping systems.
As a “Ma ter”, the ATX6 can synchronize its internal crystal-
controlled eal-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 at either a 4 Watt or 6 Watt output power level.
With an optional external amplifier the signal can be boosted to
20 Watts.
FCC Licen e
Thi device require that an FCC Licen e be obtained. Each
installation of this device will require a separate license. It is the
responsibility of each user of this device to obtain and maintain
the required FCC License. For information on obtaining the
required license contact your distributor or review the
information in the FCC section of the specifications.

In tallation:
1. Choose an appropriate location to install the ATX6 on a
wall.
a. If you intend to use the ATX-GPS accessory to
synchronize the ATX6, then a site should be
selected that is within the 25-foot cable limit of
the ATX-GPS to a window or skylight having an
unobstructed view of the sky.
b. If the ATX6 will be used in synchronizing a wide
area / campus, then the site should, generally,
be close to the center of the facility; rather than
at the perimeter.
c. If you intend to synchronize the ATX6 to an ATX
Transceiver in Master mode then select a site
within approximately 130 feet from where the
ATX Transceiver will be located..
2. If synchronizing another system to the ATX6, or if
synchronizing the ATX6 to another system via “Dry
Contact” ( elay) Closure, install the shunt jumper onto
the circuit board’s J7 Pins, according to the following
diagrams:
CAUTION: Make sure the AC Power Cord is unplugged before
opening the ATX6 enclosure
To access the jumpers, remove the two screws from top
case cover.
Carefully slide the front panel assembly up until the
jumper’s location is accessible.
Change the jumper settings as needed
Slide the front panel assembly back into place and
secure the top case cover.

3. Mount the ATX6 on a suitable wall, according to the
following steps.
If mounting near a ceiling, make sure the top holes are
at least 2” away from the ceiling.
If an external amplifier will be used, mount the ATX
within feet of its location.
»After deciding the location where the clock will be
mounted, use the enclosed template to make the three
marks for the mounting screws.
»Drill a 5/16" hole at each of the marks
»Insert a wall anchor in each hole and tap it flush to the
wall with the hammer.
»Insert a screw into the top two wall anchors leaving 1/8"
exposed.
»Line up the two keyholes on the back of the case and slip
over the two screws.
»The lower mounting screw can now be inserted into the
wall anchor and secured.

4. Attach the UHF Antenna to the ATX6’s BNC Connector
and place it on top of the ATX6 or on a shelf within 12
feet.
If an external amplifier i u ed, attach the amplifier
cable to the “RF IN” BNC connecter and to the BNC
connector on the ATX6. Connect the antenna to the
“ANT” BNC connector and place the antenna in the
de ired location.
IMPORTANT: Refer to function 19 of the etup on page
12, thi function mu t be enabled when u ing an
amplifier.
For best performance, mount the antenna in a vertical
position not horizontal
5. If synchronizing the ATX6 to an ATX-GPS, attach the
cable to the J-45 Modular Jack, and mount the ATX-GPS
according to the instructions included in its package.
6. If synchronizing the ATX6 to a Lathem Master Clock or
LT -GPS, or if synchronizing a Lathem Master Clock or
DWA-S to the ATX6 via S-485, install a Cat-3 or Cat-5
(UTP) Cable between the Terminal Block connections on
the ATX6 and the connections on the other unit, taking
note of signal polarity: plus to plus / minus to minus.
7. If synchronizing the ATX6 to Lathem’s AirTime TimeSync
Software using an Ethernet to S232 Adapter (Lathem
part # TXTOSE ) and cable, install the Ethernet to S232
Adapter according to the instructions included with its
package.
Install and execute the AirTime TimeSync Software
according to the instructions included with its package.
8. If synchronizing another system to the ATX6, or if
synchronizing the ATX6 to another system via “Dry
Contact” ( elay) Closure, install a Cat-3 or Cat-5 (UTP)
Cable between the Terminal Block connections on the
ATX6 and the connections on the other unit.
9. If synchronizing another system to the ATX6 using the
emote Wireless elay Option, install the Wireless elay
at the remote location, according to the instructions in
its package.

10. Connect the ATX6 to an AC Power Outlet using the
integral cable.
Apply a minimum of 3.5 to 4.5 lb-in torque for tightening field
wires into the terminal blocks. Use Cat-3 or Cat-5 Twisted-Pair
Wires Use only Copper Wire.
