Step 1: Screw-down Terminals
All wire connections to Microframe displays are made with screw-down terminals located on the back of
the display.
Step 2: Connecting Power
•To connect power to the "24VAC” terminal on the display, first loosen the terminal's two screws.
Then push one of the stripped ends of the power adapter wire into each opening in the side of the
terminal. Tighten each screw onto each wire. Check that each wire is secure in each terminal by
lightly pulling on it.
•To connect the power adapter wire to the wall mounted transformer, first loosen the screw-down

Step 3: Push Buttons (Optional)
While this product can be fully controlled by the remote control, there are applications where it is
desirable to use push button inputs or other wired input devices.
To connect the push buttons, cut to length two pieces of wire from the provided spool of push button wire,
one for each button. Be sure the ends of the wire are properly stripped. Connect one end of each wire to
a push button. At the other end of the wires, place the two remaining black conductors (one from each
wire) under the “Common” terminal on the back of the display. Then put one of the red conductors from
one of the wires under the “Input 1” terminal. Finally, put the remaining red conductor under the “Input 2”
terminal. Be sure the screw-down terminal connections are secure.
Step 4: Hanging Display
The display may be hung on a wall like a picture. For this purpose, you will find a “keyhole” mounting
hole on the back of the display.
Step 5: Powering the Display
Plug the power adapter into an AC outlet. The display should illuminate and show numeric characters.
The display ships from the factory in “clock” mode.
Using the Remote
Please note that the Microframe Remote is specifically designed to work with your display.
CLEAR –resets the display to zero or reloads time
UP / DOWN –starts or stops the timer
ENTER –accepts or enters an entry, sets timer
EXIT –cancels an entry
MENU –puts the display into programming mode
Using the Push Buttons
Press “Input 1” button to start or stop the timer.
Press “Input 2” button to reset the timer. Count direction is determined by the programmed mode.
SAFETY NOTE: Only connect the push button wires to the screw-down
terminals when the power to the display has been disconnected or unplugged
from the power source.
SAFETY NOTE: To avoid damaging your display, please disconnect the power
before performing any service. Unplug the power adapter from the AC outlet to
ensure there is no power going to the display.

Set Display to Slave Mode
Using the remote control, press [MENU] "213" [ENTER]. The display is now in slave mode.
Overview
The 6300 Series displays allow multiple displays to work together. The primary display is referred to as
the "master" display. Other displays controlled by the master are referred to as "slave" displays. All of the
operating modes for the 6300 Series support slave displays.
Slave displays get their information from the master via 485 communications (Terminals A, B, COMM).
Connect slave displays to the master with 3 or 5-conductor wire. The 5-conductor wire allows three wires
for communications and two wires for power to slave displays. Five-conductor wire is suitable for short
power runs. For longer runs, power the slave displays separately. Power runs to multiple displays are
limited by the distance required and the number of displays powered. Communication runs can be up to
3000 ft. long.
While slaves show the same information as the master, they can reformat the data to appear differently
than the master. For instance, for a count-up timer, three 4-digit displays could be used to display
everything from days down to hundredths of seconds: {0123} days, {21:53} hours/minutes, {47.89}
seconds/hundredth of a second.

Overview
The 6300 Series Display has been designed to allow the user to control almost every aspect of the
display’s behavior. In order to change the behavior of the display you change the value of a specific
parameter in the display's memory. Any changes made to the display's memory will be stored even when
the display does not have power.
A map of the configurable memory options is shown in the Options Table Summary on the following
pages. A detailed description of each value can be found in the Options Definitions section.
The display’s memory map has been broken into six main sections and their subsections.
Section 1
Subsections 1.1 through 1.5 store multiple number values representing the following: Current Time,
Current Date, Reload Time, Chime Time 1, and Chime Time 2.
•To change values in these areas simply press [MENU] followed by the area number, e.g., [Menu]
"12" to change the date, followed by [ENTER]. Next, type in up to six digits of the value
representing the time or date followed by [ENTER], e.g., if setting time to 3:00, type “300”
[ENTER].
Subsection 1.6 is a special “Quick Set section.” It is actually not a memory area at all but a function that
sets all other memory areas to a factory “Default” condition.
•For instance if you want to set all memory areas to what Microframe considers normal for a wall
clock, type [MENU] "160" [ENTER]. This will reset all of the necessary memory locations
(sections 2 through 6) to “Default” settings for a given mode.
Sections 2 - 6
Sections 2 through 6 are straightforward, single-number memory locations. For instance, area 2.1 can
have a value of 0 to 5, whereas area 2.2 can have a value of 0 to 1. See the Options Table Summary for
allowable values for each area. Use these areas to alter the details of how the display behaves.
•Examples of Changing Values in Areas 2 - 6
To make the internal chime volume louder, increase the value in area 3.3. Press [MENU], “339”
(for highest volume) [ENTER].
To make the display chime momentarily when it reaches zero in countdown mode, change area
5.3 to a value of 1. Press [MENU] "531" [ENTER].
Setting the Programmable Options
This will tell the display how to behave.

1.6 Quicksets
These allow quick access to commonly used settings. For proper operation, options 1.6.1, 1.6.2, and 1.6.3 require the
date and time to be set before selecting them.
•1.6.0 Wall Clock
Shows the current time of day
Sets all other options needed to make sure time is displayed as expected: HH:MM:SS or HH:MM.
•1.6.1 Days Accident Free - Count Up

•1.6.7 Unit Counter
Sets a unit counter so that input pulses can be counted from Input 1 or Input 2.
•1.6.8 Takt Timer - 15-second interval
Sets a Takt timer such that every 15 seconds the display will increment by 1 unit. Press the [DOWN] button
to start the timer.
•1.6.9 Reset Onboard Clock
The internal RTC can be reset. Resets the date, time, and timers. Note: This will impact the display's
current operation.
1.7 Photocell calibration
Allows the user to adjust the photocell offset, so that side-by-side displays are the same brightness.
Calibration steps:
•Select an indoor room with lighting of average brightness. The calibration does not work well in a dark room
or in full sunlight.
•Plug in displays side-by-side.
•Enter this option (Menu 17 Enter). The raw photocell reading is displayed. Subtract the lower number from
the higher one. This will be our offset. Write this down.
•Unplug the display(s) that will not be changed.
•Press [ENTER] to continue, or [EXIT] to quit. The current offset is displayed (default 40). Add the offset to
the number displayed, type it in with the remote, and press [ENTER]. e.g. if you wrote down "12" in the last
step, you will type in "52" [ENTER].
•Display brightness should now match. If not, repeat steps above, using a different offset.

2.2 Clock Format
Allows the clock to show time in standard 12-hour format or in 24-hour military time.
2.3 Display Format
Determines how the unit displays information to the user. This may be changed freely without disrupting the running
time (see caution below about interval units.) Display formats do not apply to all modes. Slave displays will only show
the date if the master is also showing the date.
•2.3.0 As time
Show in standard time format
DDDD.HH:MM:SS.hh (hundredths of a second)
Max: 9999.23:59:59.99
Applies to: 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3
•2.3.1 As specified interval
Show by the interval specified in 2.4
Max: 65535 days, 999999 all other units
Applies to: 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3
•2.3.2 As date
Show the date
Applies to: 2.1.0, 2.1.3
•2.3.3 As count
Show the current unit count
Applies to: 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5
2.4 Interval Unit
Determines by what unit the time is displayed. Option 2.3.1 must be set for this option to take effect.
Caution: Changing to a smaller interval unit, such that the resulting number is too large to display, will cause a
display overflow. If the display is stopped or counting down, you will see bars across the top of the screen. If the
display is counting up, the On Rollover event will be triggered. Triggering this event modifies your time! With this in
mind, you are free to change this setting even while the display is running. For safety, set this option to days before
changing the display format to interval.

Chime
Both the internal and external chime activate at the same time.
3.1 Internal Chime Duration
Sets whether the internal chime sounds: none, once, or twice. The display comes standard with the internal chime.
3.2 External Chime Duration
Sets the duration of the external chime. This is actually an external "chime driver" circuit that may be purchased at
the time of order. For AC loads (such as a doorbell), the triac option is recommended. For DC loads, the relay option
is recommended.
3.3 Chime Volume [Internal Chime]
Sets the volume of the internal chime.
Display
4.1 STU Range Lock
Sets the smallest time unit that will be shown by the display, e.g., to have a 4-digit display show hours and minutes
(never seconds), set this value to "2."
4.2 LTU Range Lock
Sets the largest time unit that will be shown by the display, e.g., to have a 4-digit display show hours and minutes
(never seconds), set this value to "3."
4.3 Leading Zeros
Shows or hides the leading zeros for timers. Unit Counter and Takt time modes always suppress the leading zeroes.
4.4 Colon Flash Rate
Determines how fast the colons flash while the timer is running.
4.5 Size
This is the display's factory set number of digits. A four-digit display is indicated by a "4." This option lets the display
know how much information it can show on the screen. Note: Some input prompts can only display all of the
information on a 6-digit display. Smaller displays will show only the right hand portion of the prompt.
Events
5.1 On Rollover

Inputs continued…
•6.2.7 Start/Stop/Reset
Alternately starts and stops timer, resetting each time
6.3 Pushbutton/Voltage
On our 5.5” 6300 displays this option allows the user to tell the display that 5V external power will be applied to the
button inputs. This hardware does not support this option, as it uses a 12V button sense voltage that cannot be
disabled. Please leave this option at zero. Do not apply external power to the button inputs!
•6.3.0 Push buttons
•6.3.1 Voltage
A 12V signal may be applied.
Caution: Ensure the grounds between the display and the sending device are properly tied together.
6.4N.O. / N.C.
Defines the default state of the inputs: Normally Open or Normally Closed. This option inverts the button logic.
•6.4.0 Normally open.
Contact: doorbell
Voltage: 0V
•6.4.1 Normally closed.
Contact: N.C. relay
Voltage: 12V
6.5 Button State
•6.5.0 Momentary
Expects a momentary contact closure at Inputs 1 and 2. For example: a doorbell button. Responds any
time the input changes from open to closed.
•6.5.1 Change of State
Expects a toggling closure at Inputs 1 and 2. For example: an on/off switch. Responds any time the input
changes from open to closed or closed to open.
6.6 Button Debounce
Ignores noise on Inputs 1 & 2. During a single press, buttons can "bounce" many times. This results in additional
button presses that the user did not intend. This option ignores the additional button bouncing.
•6.6.0 None
No debouncing. Provides an instant response to any input. Not recommended for push buttons.
•6.6.1 Fast
Triggers on the leading edge of input; has a small delay between inputs. This is useful where the input is a
high speed, low noise signal (some micro-switches and PLCs.)
•6.6.2. Normal
Waits for input signal to stabilize before acting on it.
6.7 IR Lockout
Sets whether the display ignores or responds to the remote. Toggle IR lockout on/off by pressing and holding [EXIT]
on the remote for 5 seconds. The display will indicate the change by showing "ir0" or "ir1," where "0" = locked and
"1" = normal.
6.8 Keyfob Address (wireless displays only)
This option is for our wireless displays. This adds the ability to set a keyfob address. This allows for independent
keyfob/display systems to be used side-by-side. Note: pressing two keyfobs at the same time will still cause
interference, because all keyfobs operate on the same frequency.
