The 3300 digital clock comes with 2 functional push buttons located on its front panel (as shown in the
below image) allowing the user to change some of the clock default settings. In addition, if this clock is
used in a 3-Wire Sync clock system, there is a need to set the clock and configure the specific sync-wired
protocol that it should adhere to (receive from the master clock).
Please also note that any advanced clock configuration can be done by using the USB Programming
Cable which is compatible with the 3200 or 3300 digital clock models. If you would prefer to program
the master clock through the convenience of a graphic interface, go to the section labeled “
” for an alternate programming method. This will require you to have the USB Programming
Cable accessory.
Furthermore, we always recommend that this digital clock receives time data from a master clock as its
accurate time source. In this scenario, there is no need to manually set the time in the clock since it will
receive it from the master clock via the electrical wires. However, since this clock may also be used as a
standalone non-synchronized clock (based on its internal real-time clock), there is an option to set the
clock’s time manually. For doing so, press the top button to advance the hour, and the bottom button to
advance the minute.
These manual settings (using the clock front push buttons) consist of a setting number, followed by option
numbers. To access the clock settings, press and release both buttons simultaneously. To return the LED
display to showing the time, repeatedly press the top button until all of the setting options have been
cycled through. The last setting in the sequence should be 41--99.
The numbers shown on the left are the settings criteria (topics), while the numbers on the right represent
the available options to choose from. For example, Setting #2 is allocated for configuring the month of the
year, while the options are: 01 – 12, allowing the user to choose a specific month. In the below section,
the digit(s) on the left side represent the different settings criteria (topics), while the digit(s) on the right
side will allow the user to choose the correct/desired option.
Setting 1 - Set Year
Use the bottom button to scroll from 00 through 99. This permits the user to select a
year from 2000 to 2099.
Setting 2 - Set Month
Use the bottom button to scroll from 01 through 12. This permits the user to select a
month from January (01) to December (12).
Setting 3 - Set Day of the Month
Use the bottom button to scroll from 01 through 31. This permits the user to select a
day from the 1st of the month to the 31st of the month.
