American Time flush-mount digital clocks are multi-function corrective clocks, using a Power
over Ethernet (PoE) connection to both power the clock and provide a network connection for
correcting the time via Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). These clocks use the correction
protocol to continuously update the time and perform adjustments for Daylight Saving Time.
6-digit flush mount clocks can be used with the optional Timer Control Station (TCS) to perform
Elapsed Time Indicator (ETI) and Code Blue functions. Instructions on controlling the ETI and
Code Blue features are covered in the TCS documentation.

This equipment contains electronic devices that are sensitive to static electric
charges. To guarantee protection for the circuitry of this unit, it is required that electrostatic
handling precautions be observed when installing or repairing this equipment. Any technician

Configuring Clocks to the inCloud Portal - Browser Method
1.
Navigate to the inCloud portal: incloud.american-time.com
Log in using the credentials supplied in the welcome e-mail from American Time.
2.
Click on the green "Setup New" button in the PoE Devices bar on the Device List page.
This will open the Setup Network Device List, which will list all the clocks assigned to your
site by American Time.
3.
Find the clock's MAC address and provide a Title and (if desired) description for the clock.
Repeat this for each clock in the list.
•
The MAC address can be searched using the last five characters of the address including
the colon (for example, AA:11) in the search bar.
4.
Once this is complete, all clocks will be listed under the Device List. To access this,
click on Devices in the site menu.
5.
The clocks will remain in a semi-provisioned state until they report in to the portal. As
long as the clocks have not yet been powered up, this should occur once power is
connected. Otherwise, this may take up to 15 minutes to occur.
