Do not route power or signal cables between the case and the wall (along the exterior of the wall), which may pinch the power or signal cable and create a hazardous condition.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 13 12” Dual Face Model The dual face mounting bracket supplied, allows the 12” dual face clock to be mounted on the wall or from the ceiling, depending on the specific version. Attach the time code cable and secure the clock to the bracket using the supplied screws.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 14 Operating Environment The CLKTCD clock contains a stepper motor and microprocessor control electronics designed to operate indoors between 0‐50°C with 0‐90% relative humidity. The CLKTCD is not water or moisture proof. Treat it as you would any other delicate electronic device and do not expose it to water, excessive heat or physical abuse. Operation After applying power, the CLKTCD will go through an internal checkout.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 15 Hand Position The hands will set adjust to the time code reference, plus any time zone and/or DST offsets. If for any reason the clock hands become slightly out of alignment, a calibration setting function has been provided in CLKTCD‐Set configuration utility or using the buttons located on the back. The hands of the CLKTCD cannot be set manually. Do not attempt to open the clock to access the hands. This action will void your warranty.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 16 The CLKTCD analog clock provides flexible configuration options supporting most DST standards. Pre 2007 Standard – U.S.A. and Canada Traditional US/Canada daylight/summer time is configured as one (1) hour positive bias. For the U.S. (through 2006) and Canada, daylight savings time begins on the first Sunday of April at 2:00AM (Local Time) and ends on the last Sunday of October at 2:00AM (Local Time). Post 2006 Standard – U.S.A.

CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 32 Troubleshooting The time is incorrect. Red status LED is always on. Possible reasons/solutions: 1. The CLKTCD is not currently connected to a valid time code reference. 2. There is a problem with the cabling between the CLKTCD and the time code reference. Verify that all cables and connectors are in good condition. 3. There is a ground loop or other type of interference between the CLKTCD and the time code reference.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 33 Displayed time [local] is off a small amount. Possible reasons/solutions: 1. Perception/recognition response time. The average human ability to visually perceive and recognize time synchronization and/or instantaneous change between two visually separated systems is limited due to the movement of the eyes and the delayed response to process the data. To reduce this effect: • Place a digital display adjacent to the clock you are trying to verify the time on.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 34 Care and Cleaning Adherence to regular and proper cleaning procedures is recommended to preserve appearance. Scratched or otherwise damaged lens caused by misuse, mishandling, improper storage or improper cleaning is not covered under the limited warranty. Job Site Precautions It is recommended the clock be removed from the wall and stored face up in its protective shipment bag during painting and construction.
CLKTCD Series User Manual – Rev. 2.0.1 Page 35 Minimize Hairline Scratches Always store the clock face‐up in the protective plastic shipping bag until ready for installation and during transporting to the installation site. Do not place the clock face (lens surface) down on any surface as this may scratch or mar the lens. Scratches and minor abrasions can be minimized by using a mild automobile polish.
