Troubleshooting
If everything does not work as you expect, please carefully look at the tests in the construction
steps, and the troubleshooting tips.
At the end of the manual, there is a troubleshooting section, which goes through some of the
common problems.
Safety
The voltages produced in the High Voltage circuit can reach peaks of 400V! Take precautions
not to electrocute yourself! If you are not sure what this means, please do not use this clock
and return it for a full refund.
A shock from the clock high voltage circuit is at least a nasty bite. At worst it can kill you.
We decline any responsibility in the case of injury or death.
REPEAT
: If you are not sure, please do not use the clock.
Powering Up
When you power the unit up for the first time, it will go into the startup test routine. This will
set the High Voltage Generator to run with some default settings which are useful for the
construction of the clock. For a full description of the startup sequence, please see the User
Manual.
For a video of the startup process on a finished clock, please see:

Component Identification
Sometimes it is hard to tell one component from another. Please see the “Component
Identification” manual to help you tell one component from another. You can get this document
