CLK-1002B rev. A
DIGITAL CLOCK TO MATCH VFD-1002B
Introduction:
The Odyssey gauge series from Dakota Digital, Inc. incorporates the reliability and quality of our
standard gauges, along with several unique features and easy mounting. These features include:
• Quartz accuracy.
• Night dimming feature.
• Very low standby power to prevent battery drain.
• High Visibility VFD display for sunlight readability.
The Odyssey series clock displays the current time in 12 hour format. The high brightness display
matches our other Odyssey and STR series gauges and has the same night brightness dimming capability.
Operation:
The gauge needs the red, orange, and black wires connected to operate. The red wire should have
switched 12 volt power from an ACC. point on the fuse panel. The orange wire should have constant 12 volt
power. The black wire should be connected to a good ground point. When the blue wire has 12 volts, it will dim
the display for night viewing.
Setting the time:
Using a small, thin object such as a toothpick or pin, press “set” buttons through front lens access holes.
The access holes are on the right side of the lens. Top “set” button advances hours, bottom “set” button
advances minutes. Each time that you make a change to either the hours or minutes, the seconds are reset to
zero.
Adjusting the accuracy:
The clock is accurate to +/-2 minutes a month as it is sent. It can be tuned for better accuracy if
desired. Press and hold both of the set buttons for several seconds. The clock will display “C 0”. The “C”
indicates that it is in the calibration mode and the second number is the current calibration value. The
calibration value indicates the number of seconds to add or subtract each day. The clock can be adjusted from
+7 sec/day to -7 sec/day.
Press the minute set button to change the cal value. Press the hour set button to return to normal clock
operation.
