Setting of the Time Zone
For the countries Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Benelux, the time is set in the factory to +1 hour to the world time (UTC =
Coordinated Universal Time)
and needs to be changed only in case of deviating from this time, for example UK
. For this, an offset
can be set, which adds to or deducts from the radio time received (corresponding to the world time). Thereby you have the option to use
the clock as part of a world clock or use it in adjacent time zones, where the DCF-// radio waves from Frankfurt are received.For this
purpose, press the
T2
button in the normal mode of the clock,
“Of”
is shown in the display and the set offset in hours (the first two digits)
and in minutes (the last two digits). The offset can be set in a range of +/- 12 hours with the buttons
T1
for
+30 minutes
and
T3
for -30
minutes
. By pressing the button
T2
again, the setting is terminated and the new value is saved. For the operation in the above
mentioned time zones, ‘+0100’ is preset here.
Setting of the Summer/Winter Time Parameter
The settings of summer and winter time comply with the legal regulations, but may be altered in case these times change. By actuating
the
T3
button in the normal mode of the clock, you reach the setting mode for the summer time. The clock now indicates
‘So’
: for the
summer time and either
‘On’
(automatic switching for summer/winter time or
‘Of
(no automatic switching). The button
T3
serves to switch
from
‘On’ to ‘Of’
and vice versa. In the
‘Of’
setting, the clock returns to the normal mode after pressing the
T2
button. If
‘On’
is selected,
the start and end of the summer time can be set after the
T2
button has been pressed or by pressing
T2
again, the standard settings can
be maintained. To achieve this, the
T2
button is to be pressed several times (4x) until the normal display mode is shown.
Setting of the Start/End of the Summer Time
The clock change is always effected on a Sunday, i.e. two months and the respective Sundays have to be adjusted. First, the data for the
start of the summer time are queried. The clock indicates the month of the start as figure: the month blinks and can be set in a range
from 1 to 12 with the
T3
button. By actuating
T2
you select the respective Sunday: With the
T3
button you can choose between the
figures from
1 to 4
and
‘L’.
The figures indicate the Sunday, from the
1
st
to the
4
th
, while
‘L
’ stands for the last Sunday of the month. By
pressing
T2
you terminate the input of the start data. Now the data for the end of the summer time is to be adjusted in the same manner.
After completing the input, press
T2
and the clock is reset in the normal mode and the data is saved.
The standard factory setting for
Germany is the last Sunday in March for the start and the last Sunday in October for the end.
Secondary Clock Input
In case option ‘N’ was included in the order for the clock, a pole changing impulse of the master clock with a voltage ranging from 12 to
60 volt may be applied to the connecting field via the terminals 1 and 2.
External connector for DCF radio reception:
The DCF antenna can be connected on the reverse side of the clock. For this purpose, the respective DIP switches have to be adjusted
as defined in the table below. Radio reception is transmitted in frequency band 77.5 KHz.
Connecting of an External Temperature Sensor
An external sensor may be connected on the reverse side of the clock to be used instead of an internal sensor. In such a case, the
internal sensor will be deactivated.
External Power Source
An external direct voltage source may be supplied to the clock via the terminals 11 and 12. The voltage should not exceed 9 volt and not
fall below 6.5 volt.
