NTDS26-8AL NTP Time Zone Clock 5,8 cm
The NTDS26-8AL is identical to the NTDS24-8AL but with a 6-digit time display (HH:MM:SS) instead of 4-digit.
For multi-time-zone installations that also want to display seconds, for example in trading environments where minute-level precision is critical and the seconds indicator helps to correct event timing. Combines 6-digit time with an 8-character zone label, available in red, green, blue or amber.

- Weight: 2.7 kg
Operating Parameters
- Temperature: 0 to 60°C
- Humidity: Up to 90% (non-condensing)
Power
- Power input: 24 VDC via 2.1 mm barrel jack
- Universal power adapter supplied as standard: 100-240 VAC in, 24 VDC out, with interchangeable EU / UK / US / AU-NZ plug heads
- PoE (Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af) - alternative: one cable for data and power
- Optional AC inlet (IEC 60320-C8) available on request
- No mains inlet as standard - allow a mounting position for the adapter, provide your own 24 VDC supply, or order the optional C8 inlet
- No room for the adapter at the clock? Use PoE - then only one cable runs to the clock, with the injector or switch in the technical room
- Power consumption: < 8W
Which connector does this unit have?
- Mains inlet IEC C7/C8 — the figure-8 plug, as on a radio or shaver
- DC input, 2.1 mm barrel jack — this is where the supplied adapter plugs in
- RJ45 network socket — with PoE this also carries the power
The power cord is supplied with the plug type for your country.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose the 26-8AL over the 24-8AL?
For seconds display (HH:MM:SS) choose the 26-8AL with 6-digit time. For hours and minutes only, the 24-8AL is sufficient. Trading floors and operational dispatch centres typically choose the 26-8AL for the extra precision indicator.
How readable is the 8-character label?
The alphanumeric section has 5.8 cm character height, identical to the time digits. Fully readable over the same distance as the time itself. For longer texts (12 characters) choose the NTDS46-12AL.
Can I set up central management for multiple zones?
Yes. With WinDiscovery (or via the per-clock web interface) you can configure all time-zone clocks centrally and apply maintenance in sync. A single NTP source is enough for the whole installation.
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.
What warranty do you get on this product?
1 year Daylight warranty + 4 years extra Masterclock warranty on parts and labour (5 years total), via Daylight bv as authorised Masterclock distributor. Carry-in for customers in the EEA, on-site available by prior arrangement. See five-year warranty.
