How the lights work?
The clock change its color and brightness during dierent time of
the day. This can be customised by entering the "Parameter Menu".
AM/PM light eect
The lighted laminas can indicate the dierent time of the day. By
default the clock illuminate in green from midnight until noon
(AM), and in orange/purple from noon until midnight (PM).
This is the AM/PM indication.
However during night the brightness is low or OFF and the nixie
digits are dimmed. By default this time range is from 11 PM (23:00)
until 6 AM (06:00)
During night “Night Mode”the the AM/PM mode is still active, only
the brightness change.
Day/Night light eects
If you dont wish to use AM/PM color indication, the colored lights
can be set for day and night time period or enable the “Color Scan”
mode to changing the colors randomly.
When the night mode activates the constant “Day Mode” color
switches to constant“Night Mode” color. For the“Color Scan Mode”
the “night Mode”only changes the brightness, no colors can be set.
If you dont wish to see dierent colors and brighnesses, just set the
mode color and brightness parameters to the same values.
