| MX026 is a pre-built module, that gives you a
six-digit bright red LED display, attached to a driver
module, which offers a 24 hour clock mode, as well as a
stop watch mode. The thing is, it doesn't do the standard
12 hour clock mode, instead it does 24 hour military time
(which is more precise when you have no windows). Hang
the display anywhere you need a good bright clock, or
stop watch. Mount it in a case if you want, or just as
is. Great for public events, stores, timing laps, or just
to have around the shop. Anywhere you need a digital
clock, you can have one, and it can be seen from pretty
far away, because it's 266mm by 66mm, and a very bright
red. So bright that it's almost uncomfortable when you
have it a foot away from your eyes, and you attempt to
look straight at it.
The battery backup terminal allows you to connect 3 AA
NiCads, with your own suitable battery holder, so that in
the event of a power failure, the module will still
remember the time. It has a built in charge circuit as
well, so only use rechargables (NiCad). For the main
circuit power, this module requires a 12vDC power supply,
of at least 200mA (that's what the circuit draws with all
segments lit up). The circuit has a built in rectifier,
so it doesn't matter if it's center positive or
negative. You must use a regulated 12vDC adapter such as PS1205R
Operating Instructions
Upon power-up, the display lights up, and the device
begins to keep time, beginning at midnight, (0:00:00, as
this is a 24 hour clock) and it will start counting the
seconds. Press S2 to increment the hour (it will also
reset the seconds, for easy syncing). Press S1 to
increase the minutes (once again, the seconds will
reset). Now your time is set! While this is happening,
you are still free to use the stop watch mode. Press S3
to change modes. Now you will notice all the segments are
lit up, reassuring that you are in stop watch mode. Press
S2 to start or pause the time. While paused, if you press
S1, it will reset to zero.
Sounds easy enough, eh? Good. It is! Just like using
your wrist watch.
When you are in clock mode, and you have J2 in the
down position (open), you will see the hour, minute, and
seconds. To see the 1/100 column, place J2 in the up
position (closed). You will notice it moves the minutes
and seconds over to the left, and the hour is no longer
visible. But now you can see the 1/100 at the far right! J1 will get you into 99 hour mode for the stop-watch. With it down (open) it will let you count from 0 to 24 hours, but if you need to go higher, put the jumper in the up (closed) position, and you can count all the way up to 99 hours!
