Power Supply
Symptom
Possible Reason and Troubleshooting Method
The clock does not work
completely (indicators and
illumination do not work).
•
Check the AC power adaptor serviceability. If the
adaptor is faulty replace it for a similar one.
Nixie Tubes
Symptom
Possible Reason and Troubleshooting Method
The second mark started
blinking twice a second.
•
The clock did not determine the time by the
satellites over the last 24 hours. For more
details see Section 6.7.
Some digits glow non-
uniformly (with gaps).
•
Tube cathodes are poisoned. For cathode
recovery see Section 7.2.
Illumination, Touch Slider
Symptom
Possible Reason and Troubleshooting Method
The illumination brightness
changes arbitrarily.
•
Possibly the slider picks up electrostatic
interference resulting from: air ionizer, microwave
oven etc. Place the clock away from the powerful
radiation sources.
