This manual covers the installation, operation, and configuration of the Elan Audio ASC-01 battery-operated radio clock and its associated SCT-01…
The Elan Audio ASC-01 is a battery-operated wall-mount radio clock with a 350 mm diameter. It is designed to receive and synchronize with low-power VLF AM signals transmitted by the SCT-01 SMPTE Time Code Converter-Transmitter. The clock operates for approximately 12 months on a single AA battery and can be located up to 5 meters from the SCT-01 unit under normal conditions. It features an internal dip switch for time offsets with 30-minute resolution, allowing operation synchronized to UTC time.
The document also details the SCT-01 transmitter, which converts standard 25 Hz SMPTE-EBU time code to a DCF-77 compatible radio signal, and the PDB-01 Power Supply & Distribution Box. The PDB-01 provides 12 Volt DC power and distributes SMPTE code to multiple SCT-01 units and DSC-01 digital display clocks. Installation instructions include daisy-chaining SCT-01 units via CAT-5 or Cat 6 cables and configuring time offsets using DIP switches.

The clock operates for approximately 12 months on one AA battery.
Under normal conditions, the clock can be located up to 5 meters from the SCT-01 unit.
You can reset the clock by briefly removing the battery or by using a metal-tipped object to short circuit the two pins on the back.
No, the clock itself does not have provisions for displaying different time zones; this must be handled by the SCT-01 transmitter settings.
