Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
Compliance
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU)
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of
certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The
intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals
that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the
environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive takes effect on
July 1, 2006, and it refers to the following hazardous substances:
• Lead (Pb)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union
will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our Web site,
www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch, for more information on dates and
deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and
upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the
legislation. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be
marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-1.

Preface
Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection,
treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste
products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the
responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either
the producers or users of these products. Effective August 13, 2005,
producers or users will be required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some
EU member states may have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or
electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such
products must be properly recycled. (See our Web site,
www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch, for more information on dates and
deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local sales representative for
information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment that
complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant
emblem, as shown in Figure P-2.

Preface
Safety
Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent
damage to this product or any products connected to it. If this product is
rack-mountable, it should be mounted in an appropriate rack using the
rack-mounting positions and rear support guides provided. It is
recommended that each frame be connected to a separate electrical
circuit for protection against circuit overloading. If this product relies
on forced air cooling, it is recommended that all obstructions to the air
flow be removed prior to mounting the frame in the rack.
If this product has a provision for external earth grounding, it is
recommended that the frame be grounded to earth via the protective
earth ground on the rear panel.
IMPORTANT! Only qualified personnel should perform service
procedures.

DTD-5230, DTD-5231, and DTD-5233 Installation and Operation Manual 1
Chapter 1
Introducing the DTD-523XClock Series
Overview
The DTD-523x series of digital time/date display clocks (including the
DTD-5230, DTD-5231, and DTD-5233) replaces the following clocks:
•DTD-5200
•DTD-5210
•DTD-5203
Note
Except where noted, the term “DTD-523x” is used in this manual to
refer to the DTD-5230, DTD-5231, and DTD-5233 digital time/date
display clocks.
The DTD-523x series are digitally controlled, self-setting clocks. They
operate in one of two modes: Stand-alone mode via power line
frequency or internal crystal, or with an SMPTE or EBU serial timecode
input as either a clock or a timecode reader.
When provided with an SMPTE or EBU timecode source, the
DTD-523x series of clocks are instantly self-setting. In the event of a
power failure, the DTD-523x clocks maintain the correct time internally
via a battery-backed timekeeping memory. If power is restored without
timecode, the clocks will self-set to the correct time as maintained by
the battery backup, and then continue to operate on internal crystal or
power-line time base.

2 DTD-5230, DTD-5231, and DTD-5233 Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 1: Introducing the DTD-523X Clock Series
DTD-523x clocks automatically decode either SMPTE or EBU
timecode inputs. Additionally, these clocks function as timecode
generators when operated from their internal crystals. Either SMPTE or
EBU timecode can be generated and used to drive other clocks.
When driven from the MTG-3901 Master Time Generator or
CSD-3901/3902 Clock System Driver, DTD-523x clocks are
compatible with a user-defined auxiliary time offset and date. Some
abilities are as follows:
•Local offset can also be programmed up to 23:59:59.
•Time display can be either 12- or 24-hour format, and can display
HH:MM:SS or MM:SS.FF.
•Dates can be displayed as month:day:year (MM:DD:YY) or
day:month:year (DD:MM:YY).
In the event of a timecode input failure, the colon LEDs flash at the rate
of twice per second. DTD-523x clocks then automatically switch to the
user-selected secondary time base, either power line frequency or
internal crystal. (The power line frequency is automatically determined
during power-up.)
If timecode operation is not required, DTD-523x clocks may be set to
use the secondary time base permanently, and the colon LEDs will not
flash.
If operated as a timecode reader display, DTD-523x clocks continually
track the input code, and then stop when the input fails. The colon
LEDs extinguish when timecode is absent in this mode.
The digital time/date display clocks are available in rack-mount (1 RU)
or desktop versions.
Available Models
The following digital time/date display clock models are available:
•DTD-5230 Digital Time Display (0.8 in./20.3 mm display)
•DTD-5231 Digital Time Display, desktop, time, or date
•DTD-5233 Digital Time Display with dual time or date

your equipment, ensuring a safe installation and operating environment,
and connecting a DTD-523x clock.
Note
Except where noted, the term “DTD-523x” is used in this manual to
refer to the DTD-5230, DTD-5231, and DTD-5233 digital time/date
display clocks.
The DTD-523x digital time/date display series of clocks are carefully
inspected, tested, and calibrated before shipment to ensure years of
stable and trouble-free service. Please check the equipment for any
visible damage, which may have been caused during transit.

Installation Requirements
Rack Mounting
The DTD-5230 and DTD-5233 require a standard 1RU rack space.
Dimensions for these rack-mounted clocks are as follows:
Note
The DTD-5231 is a desktop model and does not require rack.
Cooling
The equipment is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range
of 0° to +50° C. No special cooling arrangements are necessary, but
care should be taken to prevent excessive ambient heat rise in closed,
unventilated equipment racks.

Chapter 2: Installing the DTD-523x
Rear Panel Installation
The rear panel has two connectors (see Figure 3-1 on page 3-8).
Depending on the configuration, these connectors either accept or
output serial timecode (SMPTE or EBU). All clocks are shipped
configured for timecode input (slave) operation, unless otherwise
specified when ordering. A label indicates whether the clock is in
Master or Slave configuration.
A standard AC power connector and cord are included.
Input Switch Functions
The DIP switch at the rear of the DTD-523x unit is used to configure
many of the operational parameters of the unit. All switches enable their
corresponding function when in the up position.
See “Setting the Control Mode” on page 8 for details on DIP switch
operation.
Power Supply
The power consumption of the DTD-523x is 6 W at nominally
100-120/200-240 VAC (0.25/0.15 A max.), 50/60 Hz. In order that the
unit operates with maximum stability, it is recommended that the power
be applied 24 hours a day.
