INSTALLATION 
Quick Start Information 

 

Note:

 

The hands of the CLKTCD12 cannot be set manually

.  

Do not attempt to open 

the clock to access the hands. This action will violate your warranty. This device has no 

user serviceable parts inside. 

 

The position of the hands has been factory calibrated and is retained in non-volatile 

memory.  This factory calibration of the hands makes it unnecessary to set the hands of 

the CLTCD12 clock.   

 

If for any reason the clock hands become slightly out of alignment, a calibration setting 

function has been provided.   

 

 

 

 

• 

Apply power 

 

Insert the power cord. 

 

AC models will require an IEC power cord.   

DC models will require a 24 VDC (18-28 VDC) regulated power supply.   

 

 

After application of power the CLKTCD12 will go through an internal checkout.  

 

Time from the battery backed real-time clock circuit will be applied until the 

clock decodes a valid time code signal.  The battery circuit for the real time clock 

and configuration settings is a rechargeable circuit with a minimum holdover of 

two weeks.  

Note: the time from the circuit may be invalid if the battery circuit has 

become discharged
