6.3 24V parallel Minute or ½ minute 24V receiver
1. A time distribution network "Minute" or "½ minute" emit only impulses, so that it is necessary to
set the clock at the time of the this network.
To add a clock on a network, it is not necessary to stop this network. It is enough to set on
time and when it will received the next impulse from the master clock, it will add a minute.
For a 1/2 minute mode clock, if there is an offset of 30 seconds reverse the connection of the line.
In fact, the same impulse is either positive or negative according to the connexion mode and
one of these two impulses emits per minute is the minute stroke (second zero).
The clock pictogram is displayed during 1/2 second, at each impulse.
Opalys clock does not work with minute or ½ minute serial impulses.
6.4 DCF radio-synchronised clock
1. On the initial powering up, the time is initialised at 00h00mn00ss on 01/01/2000.
Radio reception is made on each clock setting in operation and each time the user sets the
time manually.
When the clock is synchronised, it is carried out automatically every night at 3am local time.
2. If reception is not correct after one hour, a new radio search is made the following night at 3am.
If reception is not correct, the radio pictogram will flash every 5 seconds.
The radio clock is fitted with a double antenna enabling it to pick up the time no matter what
position the clock is in.
6.5 Annex for time difference
Choose the reference country for the summer/winter time changeovers, as well as the time
difference, according to the city in which you wish to display the local time. If the time is set
manually, do not take the time difference into account. If the time is set with a radio antenna,
