Digital Clock

The digital clock from Dakota Digital, Inc. incorporates the reliability and quality of our standard gauges, along with several unique features and easy mounting. These features include:

∙Quartz accuracy

∙Night dimming feature

∙Very low standby power to prevent battery drain

∙High visibility VFD display for sunlight readability

∙Displays current time in 12 hour format

Wiring:

Clock

BLACK	Connect to a good ground point in the vehicle
RED	Connect to switched 12 volt power point
	(An accessory terminal will work for this)
ORANGE	Connect to a constant 12 volt power point
	(This will keep the correct time)
BLUE	Connect to the taillight circuit
	+12V when lights on for dim function

Setting the time with remote switches:

The remote mounted red and black push buttons will be used to set the clock. The BLACK “set” button advances hours, the RED “set” button advances minutes. Each time that you make a change to either the hours or minutes, the seconds are reset to zero.

Setting the time through lens:

Using a small, thin object such as a pen or hairpin, press “set” buttons through front lens access holes. The access holes are on the right side of the lens. Top “set” button advances hours, bottom “set” but ton advances minutes.

Adjusting the accuracy:

The clock is accurate to +/-2 minutes a month as it is set, but it can be tuned for better accuracy if desired. Press and hold both of the set buttons for several seconds. The clock will display “C 0”. The “C” i ndicates that it is in the calibration mode and the second number is the current calibration value. The calibration value indicates the number of seconds to add or subtract each day. The clock can be adjusted from +7 sec/day to -7 sec/day.

Press the minute set button to change the cal value. Press the hour set button to return to normal clock operation.
