Frequently asked questions
How many characters fit in the alphanumeric display?
8 characters at 5.8 cm height. Enough for time-zone names such as 'LONDON', 'NEW YORK' (7 including space), 'BRUSSEL' or the IATA airport code. For longer texts, look at the NTDS46-12AL with 12 characters.
Can each clock in a wall row show a different time zone?
Yes. Typically you order 4 or 6 NTDS24-8AL units, each individually configured for one time zone via WinDiscovery. A single NTP source synchronises them all. A typical trading floor has a row of 4-8 zones above the main desk.
Is daylight saving applied automatically per zone?
Yes, each clock has its own DST rules configured per time zone. European, American and Asian daylight-saving transitions can be set independently.
What is the lead time for this product?
Standard lead time is 8-10 weeks from Masterclock USA. Daylight bv stocks the most common references in Ghent. Contact us for current availability and any rush options.
