nLight® Digital Time Clock (DTC)
Quick Start Guide
Welcome to the nLight Digital Time Clock (DTC) Quick Start Guide. This guide provides quick instructions of how to properly mount the nDTC, and to
configure and create schedules on your new device.
Mounting Instructions
To mount, the faceplate must be detached from the
backplate. This will require an appropriately sized tool
(i.e., flat-head screwdriver) that can fit in the release tab.
Using the appropriately sized tool, press in the release tabs on each side of the device
until the backplate is noticeably released.

Follow ‘Mounting Instructions’ Steps 1-4 for removing
the back plate from the nDTC.
Using the (2) supplied self-tapping screws, fasten the nDTC back plate to the bracket
door (there are two pre-drilled holes). Make sure the plate is straight when screws
tightened.

Locate the 2 pre-assembled wires. Insert the end with 2
wires heat-shrunk together into the terminal block of the
power supply. The brown-and-red wire assembly goes
into the red ‘24 VDC’ block, and the brown-and-blue wire
assembly goes into the blue ‘Common’ block.
Make opposite connections (both brown) to the nDTC grey terminal
block on the back of the nDTC. For all connections, make sure wire
leads are inserted fully and grasped the terminal blocks, so that they do
not easily pull out.
