The hands move every 12-15 seconds.
When there is a power interruption, the 12 V AC power is automatically exchanged for the 12 V DC battery backup. When the AC power is restored, the clock returns automatically to 12 V AC power. The 12 V ,1 A sealed lead acid battery is continuously charged during use and will keep the clock running for over 16 hours in the case of a power interruption.
If there is a prolonged power interruption (+12 hours), please disconnect the power pack from the AC power supply and also disconnect the backup battery from the master controller.
This clock and master controller is covered by a 12 month warranty from the invoice purchase date.
This clock is designed to be placed outdoors and withstand rain and wind. However the master controller and remote controller are not water resistant. The master controller and remote controller must be kept in a dry, dustproof environment. Damage to the master controller and remote controller from moisture / dust etc, will not be covered under warranty.
Adjusting the time by the Master Controller
- Ensure the red light on the master controller is flashing.
- Switch on the left switch to move the hands clockwise (Quick set). Switch off the switch to stop the Quick set function.
- Switch on the right switch to move the hands anti-clockwise – switch off the switch to stop reversing the hands.
NB: Never switch both switches on at the same time – this may damage the controller.
Adjusting the time by Remote Controller (up to 50 metres from clock)
- Pull out the remote control antenna.
- To advance the hands in a clockwise direction press button A. Press button C to stop.
- To advance the hands in an anticlockwise direction press button B. Press button C to stop.
- Pressing button C will stop the clock.
- Pressing button D will start the clock in its normal running mode.
NB: when adjusting the time by the remote controller the manual adjusting switches on the master controller must be in the normal running position.
Trouble Shooting
- If the light on the master box does not flash, try turning off the power and turn back on after 5 seconds.
- If the light still does not flash, pull the battery plug out of the box. If the light still does not flash, check the 2A fuse and change it if it is broken.
- If the fuse is ok, there is something wrong with the master box.
- After pulling out the battery plug, if the light flashes, the problem is that the backup battery voltage is too low and it should be recharged or replaced.
