Configuring  and setting 

CONFIGURING AND SETTING YOUR CLOCK 

Apply 9-12VAC. 
The clock will display '50' or '60' for 3s, depending on the AC power 
frequency (Hz) in your area. This indicates that the zero cross detection part 
of the clock circuit is working fine. 
(If the clock displays '00', you either applied a DC voltage instead of an AC 
voltage, or there is a problem with the zero cross detection circuit T1, R1, R2, 
R6, C3, D5)

Next, the clock will show the display mode for 3s 
Press the button briefly to toggle between 12h and 24h display mode. 
 

WARNING:  This is a high voltage device ! 
Do not touch anything else than the plastic part of the pushbutton while 
the clock is plugged in

 
The display mode is stored in eeprom and will be remembered at next power 
on.
