The HCLK8SS Network Clock can be converted to
a hand-held Dataline Switch Programmer with the
flip of a switch.
Programming Mode allows the SS system installer to
smartwire switches to control relay groups from their
remote locations without having to return to the relay
panels to complete the smartwiring to relay groups.
The Clock/Programmer simply plugs into the front of
any dataline switch, with no need to remove the
switch from the wallbox or turn off power.
In Programming Mode, the Clock can smartwire a
switch button to control:
• Any relay or group of relays On/Off
• Any group of relays in a Pattern
• An Automation Channel (A-H) in multiple panels
The Clock can also remotely smartwire relays in a
panel to Channels (A-H) as either On/Off Groups or
Patterns.
Features
• Program any dataline switch from its remote
location
• Program any Channel in any panel to control
groups of relays from any switch or panel location
• Confirm programming
• Alternately switch from clock to programmer mode
with no loss of scheduling or smart-wiring data
• 8-line graphical display with menu-driven data entry
• Program data is stored in the switch’s or panel’s
own memory
Before proceeding, read the instructions on the
next four pages. For an overview of the entire
system and the documentation forms, refer to the
other sections of the SMARTWIRED SWITCHING
SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MANUAL.

Programmer Setup and Operation
To convert the Network Clock to Programming Mode, move
the small slide switch on the bottom of the unit to the right as
shown. Plug the Network Clock into the dataline at either:
1 The Local Dataline connector in any panel (as shown below
left), or
2 The 4-pin connector on the front face of any dataline switch
(remove the wall plate and flip open the Master button as
shown below right)
The Program Menu screen shown in Figure 1 will appear. You
can choose to program Channel(s) in a Panel (see below) or
Button(s) on a Dataline Switch (see page 4).

Programming Channels in a Panel
Channels in a panel are used to group relays for common
control, either as On/Off groups or in a Pattern of Ons and Offs.
Refer to the Smartwired™ Switching System Relay Schedule
form (HID-SSREL) for channel programming assignments for
each panel. Channels may be smartwired to relays very simply
at the panel by pressing the Channel and Relay buttons (see
page 3 of document INHINSS, Smartwired™ Switching System
Interior Installation and Setup under the Relay Panels tab).
As an alternative, the Clock may be used in Programming Mode
to smartwire channels.
In the Program Menu screen (Figure 1), cursor to Prog Panel
Select using the keys and press the SELECT key
on the Clock’s keypad. The Panel Configuration screen,
shown in Figure 2, appears. Use the RAISE or LOWER key to
set the desired panel number (the panel address is physically
set using two dials in the panel interior — see page 4 of
document INHINSS). Cursor to the next field and RAISE or
LOWER to select the Channel to be programmed. Finally,
cursor to Chan Cnfg and use the RAISE or LOWER key to
toggle between On/Off or Pattern.

Example 2: Programming Relays to a Channel as a Pattern
To program relays to a Channel in a Pattern using the Network
Clock/Programmer, repeat the steps above until you reach the
Panel Configuration screen (Figure 2). At Chan Cnfg, use
RAISE or LOWER to change On/Off to Pattern, cursor to
CONTINUE and press SELECT.
The same screens of 12 relays as shown in the previous
steps appear. This time, however, another symbol is available
to select for each relay (see Figure 7). As before, use the
cursor keys to move to the relays in question, and use RAISE
or LOWER to toggle between the following three choices:
In the group, turn Off when the Channel is activated
In the group, turn On when the Channel is activated
(blank) Not in the group
When all channels have been programmed as documented on
the SS Relay Schedule form, return to the Program Menu
screen (Figure 1).
To program switch buttons to relays or channels, proceed to
the next page. If no more programming is required, return the
Clock to the panel where it is to be mounted and slide the
switch on the bottom of the Clock back to the Schedule Mode
position (left).
