Electromagnetic Compatibility &
Safety For Customers in Europe:
V-400x series digital clocks, when used in accordance with our recommendations, complies with the European Community Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC and the European Community Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and conforms to the following standards:
EN 61000‐6‐1 EN 61000‐6‐3 EN 60950
For Customers in the USA
The equipment has been designed to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
● Re‐orientate or relocate the receiving antenna.
● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Warranty
The V-400x series digital clocks are fully guaranteed, on a return to works basis, against failure due to faulty parts or workmanship for 24 months from date of purchase. In the event of failure, either within or outside the warranty period, please pack the unit with care and return to the manufacturer, or their agent, for examination and repair.
In no event shall the manufacturer, or their agent be liable for any direct, incidental or consequential damages of any nature, or losses or expenses resulting from any defective product or the use of any product, irrespective of whether the manufacturer, or their agent, has advance notice of the possibility of such damages.

V-400x Series Digital Clock
Operating and Installation Instructions
1 ‐ Introduction
The V-400x series of digital clocks provide a precise and elegant display of time using red, green, yellow/amber, blue or white LED display characters with an unrivalled flexibility of operation in the most demanding timekeeping and stopwatch applications. All units can be used in stand‐alone applications, while 400N & 400A products are primarily intended to be synchronised via NTP/SNTP from a remote time server located on the customers TCP/IP Ethernet network. 400N & 400A units can be configured for over 30 different types of secondary clock operation, included GPS, MSF or DCF radio time code synchronisation when used with the appropriate option module or radio receiver. The 400EP version is intended to synchronise from MOBALine, Active DCF or 24V alternate polarity impulses.
The 400N & 400A series digital clocks can display static time display; alternating time and date or alternating time and temperature; or alternating time, date and temperature. (Please note, temperature display only available on 400E and 400N series units and requires connection of 406 temperature sensor.)
All of the digital clocks also have the ability to operate as a multi‐range programmable stopwatch using supplied infrared remote control or, for 400N and 400A units only, using an external stopwatch control panel or user supplied voltage free contact closure or switch.
Simple Operation
All V-400x digital clocks are supplied with an infrared remote control to allow for easy setup and control of stopwatch functions. The units are simple to configure and will automatically adjust themselves for seasonal daylight savings time changes (as required).
Operating Features
The V-400x series digital clock displays offer the following operating features.
● 83 preset location codes ‐ The digital clock may be user programmed to display the time in one of 83 different preset locations.
● User programmable time zone ‐ To allow for custom time zones or future changes in legislation
● Automatic or manual brightness ‐ The display may be programmed to one of seven preset display
brightness levels. Alternatively, the unit may be programmed for automatic display brightness where the display illumination level is reduced as the ambient light level decreases ‐
● Multi‐function Stopwatch ‐ The display can be configured to operate as a count‐up or count‐down stopwatch with a the display freely switchable between operating modes or fixed to either stopwatch or clock display.

Operating and Installation Instructions
Installation and Operation
Power Supply Connection
The V-400x series digital clocks are fitted with either universal mains power supplies (enabling operation at voltages from 100 to 240V AC 50/60Hz without adjustment), low voltage DC power supplies or Power‐over‐Ethernet (PoE) power supplies, as specified at time of order.
Units are supplied with a 3m mains cable preterminated with a UK style moulded plug (units for supply to the USA or Canada are supplied with a 3m captive mains cable preterminated with a US style moulded plug).
A connection to the earth line must be made to ensure safe
operation and compliance with EMC regulations.
To ensure conformance with EN60950:
A. For installations where the V-400x series digital clock is to be permanently connected into the
mains power circuit, a readily accessible disconnect device should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
B. For installations where the V-400x series digital clock is to be plugged into the mains
power circuit, a socketed outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
All installation work should be performed in accordance with current Building Regulations and the Seventeenth Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, or equivalent local standard.
The power supply is fitted with an internal fuse. In case of fault the fuse should only be replaced with a fuse of the same rating, by a suitably qualified engineer after disconnection from the mains power supply and correction of the fault condition.
Remote Control and Rear Switches
In addition to the rear setting switches, the V-400x series digital clock displays are supplied with an Infrared Remote Control to allow for easy setting of the unit.
1 ‘Up’ ‐ Used to navigate up through setting menus or
access Function Menu when time is displayed.
2 ‘+’ ‐ Used to increment setting options. 3 ‘‐’ ‐ Used to decrement setting options. 4 ‘Down’ ‐ Used to navigate down through setting
menus.
5 ‘Menu’ ‐ Used to access Function Menu on clock. 6 ‘Exit’ ‐ Used to exit from any clock setting menu to
normal clock display.
7 ‘Start/Stop’ ‐ Only used in Stopwatch Mode. See
Section 9 for further information
8 ‘Hold/Reset’ ‐ Only used in Stopwatch Mode. See
Section 9 for further information.
9 ‘Clock Mode’ ‐ Used to place clock into Clock Mode.
See Section 9 for further information.
10 ‘Stopwatch Mode’ ‐ Used to display Stopwatch Mode.
See Section 9 for further information
