Viking 16in. in. Analog Clock Double Mount - CL-DMA16

Viking Electronics CL-DMA16 Double Mount Housing for 16" Analog Clock

Overview

The CL-DMA16 is the double-mount housing bracket for Viking's 16" CL-Series analog clocks — specifically the CL-A16. If you're deploying synchronized wireless clocks across a facility and need a surface-mount solution for the 16" format, this is the correct mounting accessory. It handles the mechanical side: a rigid 30% glass-reinforced ABS enclosure with a 12.9" (327mm) outer diameter and 2.6" (66mm) depth profile that keeps the clock secure and flush against the wall or ceiling surface. The CL-DMA16 (often searched as CL DMA16) ships at 4.9 lbs — light enough for single-person installation without special hardware considerations.

Key Features

• 30% Glass-Reinforced ABS Housing: The reinforced ABS construction resists the minor impacts and flex typical in institutional environments — hallways, gymnasiums, and production floors. This isn't standard consumer-grade plastic; the glass fiber loading stiffens the housing so the clock face stays true over time without warping.
• 12.9" (327mm) Outer Diameter, 2.6" (66mm) Depth: The shallow 2.6" depth means the assembly sits close to the wall, reducing snag risk in corridors. The 12.9" outer diameter accommodates the full 16" clock dial within a clean, minimal bezel footprint.
• 11" x 8" x 1.7" Housing Envelope: The compact housing envelope simplifies rough-in and back-box planning. At 1.7" depth behind the mounting surface, most standard wall cavities accommodate the installation without modification.
• CL-Series Compatibility: Designed specifically for the CL-A16 16" analog clock, which operates on 915–928 MHz frequency hopping for wireless time synchronization. The mount integrates with the clock's built-in repeater design — no separate enclosure modifications required.

Integration and Compatibility

The CL-DMA16 is purpose-built for the CL-A16 within Viking's Viking Electronics clock and communications line. If your project calls for the 12" format instead, the CL-DMA12 is the corresponding mount. For full system planning, review the synchronized clock systems category to match transmitters, receivers, and mounting accessories. Pair the mount with a CL-A16 analog clock and the appropriate CL-Series master transmitter for a complete synchronized timekeeping installation. For facilities deploying both analog and digital clock formats, the CL-D4 and related accessories use compatible mounting and RF infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which clock model does the CL-DMA16 support?

A: The CL-DMA16 is designed for Viking's CL-A16 16" analog clock. For the 12" analog clock, use the CL-DMA12 instead.

Q: What material is the CL-DMA16 housing made from?

A: The housing is 30% glass-reinforced ABS plastic — a stiffer, more impact-resistant construction than standard ABS, suitable for institutional and commercial environments.

Q: What are the outer dimensions of the mounted assembly?

A: The clock assembly has a 12.9" (327mm) outer diameter and 2.6" (66mm) depth. The housing itself measures 11" x 8" x 1.7".

Q: How much does the CL-DMA16 weigh?

A: Shipping weight is 4.9 lbs.

Q: Does the CL-DMA16 work with the CL-A16's wireless frequency hopping system?

A: Yes — the mount is designed to house the CL-A16, which uses 915–928 MHz frequency hopping for time synchronization. The mount does not contain any RF components itself; it provides the mechanical enclosure only.

The CL-DMA16 is a purpose-built double-mount housing for the CL-A16 16" analog clock in Viking's CL-Series wireless clock system. The 30% glass-reinforced ABS construction is worth noting — on a facility-wide clock deployment, you'll typically have dozens of these mounts in corridors, stairwells, and production areas where incidental contact is routine. Standard ABS would flex and crack at mounting points over time; the glass loading prevents that.

Technical Highlights:

• 12.9" OD / 2.6" Depth: The shallow depth profile keeps the assembly flush to the surface — important in occupied corridors where code requires clearance from walking surfaces. At 2.6" of wall projection, this clears most ADA and local building code minimums without special engineering review.
• 11" x 8" x 1.7" Housing Footprint: The compact back-box envelope fits standard wall cavities. No custom rough-in or oversized electrical box required — plan your back-box to 1.7" depth and the CL-DMA16 drops in cleanly.
• Glass-Reinforced ABS: 30% glass fiber loading gives this housing significantly higher rigidity and impact resistance than commodity plastic enclosures. In gymnasium, cafeteria, or industrial settings where the clock may take a ball or tool impact, the housing won't shatter — it flexes and holds.

Deployment Considerations:

• The CL-DMA16 is the mechanical enclosure only — it contains no RF, power, or synchronization components. Pair it with the CL-A16 clock and a CL-Series master transmitter for a complete installation. Order both before scheduling the installation crew.
• The 12.9" outer diameter is the finished assembly dimension, not the rough opening. Confirm your wall cutout or back-box opening is sized to the housing's 11" x 8" footprint, not the clock face diameter, or you'll be enlarging the opening on-site.

Best fit for institutional deployments — schools, healthcare facilities, and light industrial plants — where you need a rugged, low-profile mount for the 16" CL-A16 clock across multiple synchronized zones.
