Please send me your complete Clock picture, as I am going to create picture gallery on my WEB page
- Getting power from wall plug power supply means your clock is isolated from the main
- Clock works from 7.5 to 12V DC, but 9v supply is recommended and is optimal choice
- Power consumption:
2.6W (280mA@9V) from wall plug power supply (all 6 digits to display)
2.3mW (0.75mA@3V) from backup battery ( 3V CR2032).
- When Clock powers up from backup battery, it does not display any information, but keeps running and activates buzzer in Alarm1 or Alarm2 events.
- To keep backup power consumption at low level, do not connect load < 100 kOhm to the external alarm contacts.
- Internal buzzer generates simple two tones and pause sound in Alarm1 or Alarm2 events. It will last for 1 minute, but could be shut off by pressing the button.
- External alarm contacts set logical "1" in the alarm event and gives you extra feature allowing to connect quality sound melody generator or any external modules via appropriate converter or power control circuit (not included in this sale).
- Frequency Test Mode can be activated to easily check and adjust clock frequency. In this mode Clock does not display or keep time and date, it only displays 200000, which means 200KHz frequency signal is activated on the dedicated output pin. Use it to check it, if you have calibrated precision frequency meter or use this signal for your calibration purposes.
- The latest SW (for one chip) will be available on my WEB page, so if you have Microchip programmer, you can easily download it into your clock microcontroller or as I stated above, just send me the chip and I'll re-program it for you.
- Please have a look at my WEB page, where you can find more pictures, more details about my Nixie Clock at http://www.kosbo.com

| Extra words about Clock and its design |
- I designed just NIXIE CLOCK ! It doesn't have integrated MP3 player, It will not freeze or cook your food, as it does display Time and Date only.
Sorry, but no movies or pictures can be viewed or downloaded and stored there from your digital camera or camcorder! No square root or estimate arrival time can be calculated either!
It's not health care or military device, it will not calculate the Nixie Tube's or internal components life time either.
This clock is just simple, elegant, reliable and easy to use device !
- This clock is fully assembled, tested and calibrated. Just spend your time and efforts to create the case, which you will love!
- You don't need to have special electrical or electronic education. This clock is very easy to connect and simple to use.
- In this Clock I use static digit indication. It means that the digit is not flickering with 50Hz or any other frequency.
So it's static until it changes to other value to display, then it's static again.
It is much better for your eyes; clock consumes less power, creates less electro-magnetic fields around.
- I will not implement Remote Control feature in my Nixie Clock. Why?
I think, it's really useless and absolutely un-efficient! Why do you need Remote Control if you should set or correct the time only once a year.
Why do you need Remote Control which could influence with any other devices in your home...
Alarm time?
Again, how often do we set Alarm time? Several times per day or more often like switching between TV channels?
I don't think so. Usually we do it very occasionally!
How many Remote Controls do you already have at home? Do you really need one more? Will you find it in 6 months or 1 year? ;-)
- Looking at another available Clocks on the market, I can say, that only a few Sellers says about their Clock Power consumption, its dc/dc converter efficiency, but I DO ! I think it's important to know how much energy your Clock will consume, as It should be connected 24 hours per day, 7 days per week !
- Almost nobody specify their Clock accuracy. I can see only general phrases like "accurate, very accurate...", but again - no specific information! My Clock have not more than 1 second error in ONE week ! It means less than 1 minute per YEAR ! To archive it I do not use Radio or GPS modules. So you do not need to spend extra money to buy it. You don't need to bother where to locate your GPS receiver to get good signal and how to hide extra wires !
- Only my Clock has dedicated output to check the internal clock frequency !
Why do we need it?
a) Calibrate your device like another Clock or Frequency Counter. It's very useful option, if you are radio electronic fan and doing some projects, which would require accurate clock or precise frequency.
b) Calibrate your Clock. We must calibrate the Clock, otherwise the clock accuracy is very poor, even we use high quality crystal. Usually you connect your Frequency Counter directly to the crystal, but your Frequency Counter gives your internal clock an extra capacitance and the measured frequency slightly shifts from the actual, so the calibration can not be precise!
My clock has dedicated, separated from crystal output, where you can check the frequency and ideally it should be 200,000.0 Hz.
But don't worry, I'll do it for you and your Clock will be fully calibrated to get the best accuracy!
