Connecting multiple Timekeeper™s together
When multiple units are connected together, only one unit may become the controlling unit. The rest of the units
become remote displays.
•
The Timekeeper™ defaults to remote display mode at power up.
•
Be sure to connect the units up such that the controlling unit's transmit port is connected to the receive unit's
receive port.
•
Once a button is pressed, the controlling unit changes to clock/timer mode.
•
The controlling unit remains in timer mode until the power is turned off or a command is received that returns
it to remote display mode.
•
When connecting more than 2 units together, data on the transmit port of a remote display is echoed from the
receive port.
When two units are connected together, in a specific configuration. Either unit can control all of the functions.
•
Connect the transmit port of the first Timekeeper™ to the receive port of the second Timekeeper™.
