  • Page 7: Introduction

    The TimeView digital clocks are part of Spectracom Corporation’s display family of products, used to distribute accurate and traceable timing throughout a single facility or across an entire community. In addition to the digital display clocks, Spectracom offers TimeView 312 wired and wireless analog display clocks.

  • Page 8: Figure 1-2: Spectracom Tv400 Series (Front)

    Each wireless TimeView clock decodes the TimeBurst transmission and synchronizes to within 250 milliseconds of the traceable NetClock receiver. Spectracom offers VHF FM, UHF FM commercial, and UHF FM government band versions of the digital TimeView clocks. Specify TimeView 210V or 400V for VHF FM frequencies, TimeView 210U or 400U for UHF FM commercial, and TimeView 210G or 400G for UHF FM government band.

  • Page 9: Wired Clock Features

    • Received Signal Strength Indicator: A digital RF meter provides a quick method to assess radio signal coverage and simplifies installation. • RS-485 Output: Serial time code data is provided to connect to products requiring RS-485 data input. This allows a wireless clock to synchronize Spectracom wired ® display clocks and TimeTap devices.

  • Page 20: Wired Clock Configuration

    TV210V, U, G, W & TV400 V, U, G, W Spectracom Corporation 2.4 Wired Clock Configuration Before placing the TimeView wired clocks into service, the clocks must be configured to suit the application(s). The clocks’ configuration options include 12- or 24-hour display format, display brightness, and manual time setting for stand-alone clock operation.

  • Page 21: Display Settings

    Spectracom Corporation TV210V, U, G, W & TV400 V, U, G, W For example, manually setting the time requires six steps, because each display character is individually set. The first step is setting the tens of hours digit, the next is the units of hours digit, the next is the tens of minutes digit, and so on until the complete display of HH:MM:SS is configured.

  • Page 22: Setting The Time

    TV210V, U, G, W & TV400 V, U, G, W Spectracom Corporation 2.4.2 Setting the Time Mode steps 3 through 8 are used to set the time. NOTE: It is not necessary to set the time when the TimeView is synchronized to a NetClock.
  • Page 23 Spectracom Corporation TV210V, U, G, W & TV400 V, U, G, W 2.4.3.1 Group and Sub-Group Addressing All clocks have two addresses: the Main Group address and the Sub-Group address. The default setting for both the Main Group and the Sub-Group is 000, so if this feature is not to be used, it can remain zero and you can skip to the next section.

    The clock will return to normal operation. 2.5.6 TimeBurst Configuration The Spectracom Model 8185 TimeBurst connects to the radio transmitter directly or through the radio console using the Audio Output, PTT (Push To Talk), and Busy (Inhibit) lines. The PTT and Busy lines can be optically isolated. The Busy (Inhibit) signal from the transmitter is monitored by the TimeBurst and holds off sending a message until the channel is clear of traffic.

  • Page 36: Wired Rs-485 Ports

    Both ports are outputs. They can be used to drive other wired clocks that are unable to receive radio signal. They can also provide remote timing for other Spectracom products that receive serial time code data, such the wired display clocks and Spectracom’s TimeTap devices.
