1Introduction
The Spectracom TimeView digital models are synchronized display clocks visible from
at least 75 feet (23 meters – TV210 series) to 150 feet (46 meters – TV400 series).
Both clocks have large, easily seen LED digits – 2.3 inches (58.4 mm) in the TV210
series and 4 inches (101.6 mm) in the TV400 series.
The TimeView digital clocks are part of Spectracom Corporation’s display family of
products, used to distribute accurate and traceable timing throughout a single facility or
across an entire community. In addition to the digital display clocks, Spectracom offers
TimeView 312 wired and wireless analog display clocks.
Spectracom’s digital clocks display Legally Traceable Time®in 12- and 24-hour formats
when referenced to a NetClock®receiver. The synchronization options available for the
TimeView digital clocks are RS-485 wired data input (210W and 400W models) and
wireless (TV210V, TV400V, TV210U, TV400U, TV210G, TV400G). Check the serial
tag on the rear panel of your unit to determine the model number of your equipment.
Figure 1-1: Spectracom TV210 Series (Front)
Spectracom currently offers NetClock GPS synchronized receivers and previously
offered WWVB synchronized receivers. In wireless applications, the NetClock feeds a
continuous time data stream to a Model 8185 TimeBurst™. The TimeBurst connects to
the customer’s radio console or transmitter to provide wireless synchronization. On a
schedule chosen by the customer, the TimeBurst automatically keys the transmitter and
sends a short coded time of day message in the form of a digital burst. TimeBurst is
“polite” to voice communications and will wait for “clear air” to transmit.
The wired digital display clocks have no radio receivers. Each Spectracom wired
display product connects to an RS-485 continuous time data stream provided by a
NetClock receiver or the RS-485 output of an Ethernet time server. The wired display
clocks decode the time data stream and then synchronize to within 250 milliseconds of
the traceable NetClock receiver.

TimeView Digital Display Clocks Instruction Manual1-2
Figure 1-2: Spectracom TV400 Series (Front)
The wireless TimeView digital display clocks have internal radio receivers, built-in and
optional (TV210 series) external antennas, or required and included (TV400 series)
external antennas. Each wireless TimeView clock decodes the TimeBurst transmission
and synchronizes to within 250 milliseconds of the traceable NetClock receiver.
Spectracom offers VHF FM, UHF FM commercial, and UHF FM government band
versions of the digital TimeView clocks. Specify TimeView 210V or 400V for VHF FM
frequencies, TimeView 210U or 400U for UHF FM commercial, and TimeView 210G or
400G for UHF FM government band.

2Installation
The following sections describe mounting, set up configuration and verification of
operation for the TimeView 210 series and TimeView 400 series digital display clocks.
To ensure proper operation, please read the applicable sections for your equipment
prior to installation and use of the product(s).
2.1 Mounting Instructions
The TimeView clocks are designed to mount over a duplex outlet to completely conceal
the power adapter. For installations where this is not possible, clearance is provided
along the top and bottom edges for routing the power cable. The 210 series clocks
have mounting holes that allow for wall or bulkhead mounting. The 400 series clocks
have mounting holes that allow for wall mounting only.
2.1.1 Wall Mounting – TimeView 210 Series
The ancillary kit includes screws and plastic anchors for wall mounting the clock. Tools
needed for wall mounting are a Phillips screwdriver, a ruler, and a ¼"inch drill.
To wall mount the TimeView 210 over a duplex outlet, lay a reference line through the
center of the cover plate as shown in Figure 2-1. Mark and drill two holes 8.25 inches
apart and centered on the outlet.

2.1.2 Bulkhead Mounting – TimeView 210 Series
The TimeView 210 can be bulkhead mounted using the threaded holes found on the
rear panel. These holes accept #8-32 screws. Locate the four bulkhead mounting
holes as shown in Figure 2-1.
The four holes form a rectangle measuring 11.75 inches long and 1.75 inches high.
Drill 11/64-inch holes at each corner of the rectangle. Secure the clock to the mounting
surface using #8-32 screws.
NOTE: The bulkhead mounting screws may protrude into the clock a maximum of ½
inches. Longer screws will not fully tighten the clock against the mounting
surface.
2.1.3 Wall Mounting – TimeView 400 Series
The TimeView 400 series clock is designed to mount over a duplex outlet to completely
conceal the power adapter and line cord. For installations where this is not possible,
clearance is provided along the top and bottom edges for routing the power and data
cables.
The ancillary kit includes screws and plastic anchors for wall mounting the clock. Tools
needed for wall mounting are a Phillips screwdriver, a ruler, and a ¼"inch drill.
To wall mount the TimeView 400 over a duplex outlet, lay a reference line over the
cover plate as shown in Figure 2-2. Mark and drill two holes 16.0 inches apart and
centered on the outlet.

2.2 Power – TimeView 210 Series
Plug the AC adapter into the top outlet with the cord facing downward. Initially the
seconds digits will blink to indicate the clock has not time-synchronized to the NetClock.
The seconds will continue flashing until the clock receives a synchronizing data stream.
An international power supply (supplied with 400 series clocks) is available for purchase
with 210 series clocks under part number PS06-0E0J-DT01. This adapter operates on
100-250 VAC 50/60 HZ power.
NOTE: The PS06-0E0J-DT01 adapter requires additional mounting space, such as in
an 8" x 8" electrical box, because it is too large to fit behind the 210 series
clocks.
2.3 Power – TimeView 400 Series
The power pack and line cord are packaged in the ancillary kit. The power adapter
operates on 100-250 VAC 50/60 Hz power. The provided line cord is compatible with
AC receptacles (NEMA 5-15R) commonly found in the United States and Canada.
Alternate type line cords must be obtained locally.
Initially the seconds digits will blink to indicate the clock has not time-synchronized to
the NetClock. The seconds will continue flashing until the clock receives a
synchronizing data stream.

2.4 Wired Clock Configuration
Before placing the TimeView wired clocks into service, the clocks must be configured to
suit the application(s). The clocks’ configuration options include 12- or 24-hour display
format, display brightness, and manual time setting for stand-alone clock operation.
Optionally, the TimeView can be equipped with LED status lamps and a buzzer that can
be activated over the RS-485 data stream. In most applications only the display format
(12- or 24-hour) will need to be configured.
Configuration selections are made using the Mode and Set switches located near the
center of the rear panel. (Refer to Figure 2-3 to assist in locating the switches in the
210 series clocks.) The switches are momentary push buttons and are recessed to
prevent accidental actuation. Use a narrow, blunt-tipped object (such as a “Q”-tip) to
actuate the push button switches.
In the event of a power failure, configuration selections are permanently saved in
EEPROM.

The Mode and Set switches are used in a manner similar to setting a digital alarm clock.
The Mode switch is used to step through each setup parameter and the Set switch
selects the desired variable. The Time and Group parameters are divided into several
steps where each variable is set and then advanced to the next step by the Mode
switch. The digit that is currently being set will flash on and off.
