4900 Broadcast studio clocks with 50mm (2") or 20mm (0.8") digits and EBU/SMPTE synchonisation option (LTC)

• This range was developed for use in the broadcast industry but is also an excellent showpiece for receptions and meetings rooms and any control application where progress towards a specific seconds count is of particular importance.
• These unique digital clocks have a multi-format outer analogue seconds ring as well as hours, minutes and seconds digits.
• Optional signal interfaces enable the clock to synchronise with NTP, EBU, IRIG and other precision coded signal time sources.
• The 4900x.05 model has a 12 or 24-hour time display with ultra-reliable, 50mm (2") high dot matrix characters for hours and minutes with 30mm (1.2") digits for seconds. You have a choice of blue, green, red or yellow/amber digits. The smaller 4900x.02 version is available with 20mm (0.8") high red or green digits.
• You can select one of three analogue seconds indication modes:
  • Showing accumulating seconds markers
  • Showing three trailing seconds markers
  • Showing a single seconds marker
• You can choose a display of time only, alternating time and temperature (requires extra cost temperature sensor) or alternating time and date.
• We include an RC100 handset for remote time-setting, stopwatch control, operating mode and special function selection.

All Wharton digital clocks have many user-selected modes of operation:

• E and NE versions can be used in stand-alone applications using their internal time references.
• Every standard digital clock has rear connections to enable time synchronisation using one of a wide selection of time code protocols from a Wharton 5000 series master clock or suitable third party time reference.
• You can synchronise individual clocks with a precise satellite-based atomic time reference via a control message from a Wharton 488HS series GPS or GLONASS time signal receiver.
• N and NE versions can be controlled and synchronised to time via their 10/100Base-t Ethernet NTP connection to your existing network with accurate time information provided by a local or internet time server for simple, low-cost installation and control.

Stopwatch operation

• Wharton 4000 series clocks have time digits freely switchable between the display of time-of-day and multifunction stopwatch or countdown time.
• The standard RC100 IR handset controls the stopwatch and countdown timer functions.
• You can also control the stopwatch functions of E and NE versions with an optional 496E dedicated switch panel or by external user-supplied voltage free contacts.
• Multiple N or NE versions of 4000 series clocks may be operated in Network Stopwatch Mode to provide a remote readout of stopwatch or timer counts.

496E switch panel - features:

• 1G plate size 86mm x 86mm with IP65 rated sealed switches.
• We supply the 496E panel with a 5m three core captive cable interconnection to the clock. You can extend the interconnection distance up to 20m using a 7/0.2 (0.22mm²) screened cable. Please contact technical support for longer interconnection distances.
• Please note that you must use either the RC100 infrared remote control or the rear-mounted clock setting switches for setting the clock time or the clock and stopwatch operating modes. You cannot use the 496E panel for time or function setting.

User-programmable stopwatch and countdown timer function

• Stopwatch display modes
• Stopwatch display resolution
• Stopwatch count direction
• Stop/start and hold switch actions
• Countdown start count

• The high-quality clock enclosures have a silver or black finish. Alternative colours or finishes are available at additional cost.
• Base model clocks are suitable for freestanding or wall mounting using the multi-angled brackets supplied. Mounting options include cases for flush wall mounting and single or double-sided clocks with mounting supports for ceiling suspension.
• 110-230V AC, 12 or 24V DC or PoE (Power over Ethernet) power supply options.
• All Wharton digital clock products are designed, manufactured and tested to International Quality and Performance Standards.
• Unrivalled free product lifetime technical support with unlimited advice and information to the original user for the life of the digital clock. Many previous models are still in service more than 15 years after first supply.
