BASIC DISPLAYS
“Running” Display
! Displays current Date and Time
! Displays “DST” during periods of the year when Mon Jun 01, 2009
Daylight Savings Time is being observed (will 12:00:00 PM DST
not be displayed in locations not observing
Daylight Savings Time)
OPERATION
The 99B-MI Clock Controller is designed for fully automatic operation. However, should user
intervention be required, review the following instructions for proper operation of the 99B-MI.
Accessing Menus
! Hold ENTER key for (5) seconds
“Set Time:”
! Allows user to set time shown on LCD display Se t Time :
! Displays “GPS” if GPS is being used
! NOTE: User cannot set time when GPS is locked 12:00:00 PM
(GPS always maintains correct time)
“Set Date:” S e t D at e :
! Allows user to set Date 2009-Jun-01
“Chimes”
! Allows user to configure Chimes and Hour Strike C h imes:
outputs E n abl e d
! See Manual M274-C (99BMI Chime System)
Screen”
! Enter Tech Mode: Allows user to access special
technician menus
TECH MODE
“Event Log:” Press ENTE R Key
! Displays record of events, power ups, etc. To Re a d L o g
! The (10) most recent events are displayed
! Events are logged in the format: # MMDDYY HHMM EE,
“Advance Hands?”
! NO: Does nothing, stays on “Advance Hands?”
Menu A dva n c e Hands?
! YES: Advances clock hands indefinitely until
NO
stopped manually
! To 12:00: Advances clock hands to 12:00 and stops
TROUBLESHOOTING
“MY CLOCKS ARE NOT ON TIME”
! Clock hands are still operating, but are not indicating correct time
3) Tell 99B-MI where clock hands are actually pointing to allow it to correct the clock
You will enter the time the clock hands are reading into the controller. The controller
will then move the hands to the correct time.
TROUBLESHOOTING
! If the LCD Display is working and the green “ON” LED is blinking, the 99BMI is live
YES: Goto Step 2
NO: Check 115VAC input power and both fuses in wiring compartment
2) Is the green LED marked “ON” in the 99BMI Front Panel blinking?
! Open the wiring compartment cover (unscrew the two hold-down screws)
! Is the 2.5A secondary fuse blown?
YES: Replace fuse. See “My Clocks are not on time” Pg. 15 to reset clocks as
required
NO: Goto Step 5
TROUBLESHOOTING
! When in “Reset Mode” the 99B-MI display will alternate every few seconds
between the “Running” display (See Pg. 10) and the “Correcting Clock” display
(See Pg. 10)
Is the 99B-MI alternating between the “Running” and “Correcting Clock” displays?
! The “Correcting Clock” display will show where the 99B-MI thinks that the clock
hands are currently located (example: “Hands At: 12:00”)
Does the “Correcting Clock, Hands At:” display match the current hand position?
YES: Hands will begin moving at correct time within the next 2 hours
NO: See “My clocks are not on time” Pg. 15, Step 3
6) Check wiring
! Verify all wiring is OK from 99B-MI to each clock Note: this is one of the most
common errors when installing the clock controller, be sure to check the wiring at
the clock movement and clock control.
Is wiring OK?
SERVICE
For assistance in troubleshooting problems with your 99B-MI Clock Controller, or to
request service, contact the Electric Time Company Service Department at the
address shown below:
In the event the US Government reverts to the 2005 Schedule or a different DST
schedule the 99B-MI clock controller is capable of being reprogrammed with a new
DST rule through the user interface. For more details on changing the DST rule
please see page 13.
