Operation

The DuraTime clock is based on super bright LED technology coupled with a very capable

microprocessor. The DuraTime microprocessor is able to store the user’s configuration in

duplicate. If the configuration becomes corrupt by someone configuring the display incorrectly, the

original customer configuration can be instantly restored. The Real Time Clock includes a high

accuracy temperature controlled oscillator as the standard time base and is accurate to a few seconds

per year without external synchronization. For absolute accuracy, the clock receives time updates

from one or more DuraTime master clocks.

Real Time Operation

There is normally no configuration required to connect the DuraTime digital clock to the wireless

network. Simply apply power to the clock within radio range of an active DuraTime network and

the clock will receive and update the display every second.

The Mega Real Time Clock employs a clock circuit with battery backup. The clock circuit will

maintain time for about ten years without power. When you receive your new clock and apply

power, you will see the clock already running. To manually change the time, simply press and hold

either the Up or Down buttons. The time will increment or decrement faster and faster as the

buttons are held. If the clock is within range of a DuraTime master clock, the clock will change to

the master clock time within a second or two.

0=disabled

1=enabled (default)

Removes daylight saving time from serial time data received. By default, the clock

expects to receive local time updates. If daylight saving time is active, then the time

received will be decremented one hour. The hour will be restored when the time is

displayed. If daylight saving time is not active, the time will be displayed as it is

received, in addition to any time zone offsets.
