INTRODUCTION

These operating instructions describe the installation and operation of NDC numerical electronic displays with 

remote control, designed to display the time, date and temperature. The basic parameters of the described 

displays are contained in Tab. 1.

All displays have 2 connectors for a 2-wire or 3-wire RS485 communication interface and can be connected 

into a communication network. If the displays are connected into a communication network (Fig. 1), any of 

them can be controlled via a handheld infrared controler. Up to 127 devices can be connected to an NDC-net.
