The date setting consists of setting the values of:
{YEAr}
setting of the year in the range 0 – 99 for the years 2000 – 2099;
{Mon}
month setting in the range 1 – 12;
{dAY}
day setting in the range 1 – 31 (or 28, 29, 30, 31, depending on the specific month and year).
5.5.3
Time zones, time shift setting {Sh_H}, {Sh_M}
({MEnu}→){tIME}→{Sh_H}
({MEnu}→){tIME}→{Sh_M}
In order to be able to switch correctly to the summer/winter time and display correctly the time in other time
zones (e.g. in Tokyo, New York, etc.), which are shifted against the reference time (UTC), the clock allows to
set a time correction (shift) against the synchronisation or internal time by up to ±23 hours and 59 minutes.
Setting of the correction:
{Sh_H}
setting of the correction of the time zone, hours in the range ±0 – 23
{Sh_M}
setting of the correction of the time zone, minutes in the range 0 – 59
When setting the hours of the time zone correction {Sh_H}, it is also necessary to specify whether the
correction will be added to the internal time or whether it will be subtracted from it. With the ◄/►buttons set
the minus (-) sign before the numerical value to subtract the correction or no sign (+) to add the correction.
5.5.4
Switching between the summer/winter time (Daylight Saving Time) {dSt}
({MEnu}→){tIME}→{dSt}
The clock allows to set whether the switchover to the summer/winter time should occur or not.
{dSt}
Automatic switching {On}/{OFF}
If this function is on, the clock will be set to the summer time on the last March Sunday (from 1:00 to 2:00
UTC). When the correct time zone is set, this transition will take place in the correct local time.
This function is just a program one, while it is based on the current time and date, which have to be set correctly
(or time synchronisation has to be ensured).
Note: If the clock (clock network) is connected to a synchronisation device (GPS receiver, etc.) which itself
provides the correction of the summer/winter time, this function has to be switched off on all clocks
otherwise the clocks will show incorrect time during the summer time (1 hr ahead).
5.6 General settings {SEt}
For the general setting of the clock first it is necessary to activate {SEt} item in the main menu and confirm it
with the OK button.
5.6.1
Brightness setting {BriG}
({MEnu}→){SEt}→{BriG}
The value of the display brightness may be set in 15 levels or an automatic brightness setting, which controls
the display's brighness depending on the ambient light, may be set.
When you activate and select the {BriG} item, its current value, 1 – 15 or {Auto} will be displayed. With the up
▲ and down ▼ buttons set the required brightness level. The display will change its brightness accordingly. If
{Auto} is set, the display's brightness will be controlled automatically according to the ambient light.
Note: In contrast with other settings, the set value remains stored in the memory without confirmation. To
return to the menu, press the OK or ESC button, othwewise the return will occur after 7 sec of inactivity.
5.6.2
Display address setting {diAd}
({MEnu}→){SEt}→{diAd}
The address of a device is used for unique identification of a device in the network of a number of NDC clocks.
In general, each device in the NDC-net (NDC, sensor, synchronisation module,...) has to have a unique
address.
Address setting:
{diAd}
Address setting in the range 1 – 126
After the selection and confirmation of the {diAd} parameter the current value of the address will be displayed.
The range of the allowed values of the address is 1 – 126. Address 0 is reserved as the global one for
addressing all connected devices, address 127 is reserved for the device that provides the time
synchronisation, e.g. a GPS synchronisation module.
In each NDC-net in which synchronisation is required, one NDC clock has to be set as the Master. The Master
