The AE26 is a plug and play multi-function clock/timer, specially configured for stand-alone applications. No wiring is required. Built-in controls and a plug-in power module provide quick and easy set up. It can be used as a portable device, or it can be permanently installed using the wall mount bracket provided.

AE Series Multi-Function Clock/Timers operate simultaneously as a time of day clock, a count up elapsed timer and a count down elapsed timer. A built-in switch on the top panels allows the operator to select the desired function as it is in progress without affecting the other functions.

Option 354 provides an intelligent serial input for the AE series displays. This is not a standard RS232 input. However, up to 50 AE series devices with this option can be connected to a standard RS232 port, at distances up to 2000 feet away. Signal drivers are available to provide systems with unlimited numbers of displays. This option allows AE series displays to communicate with host Computers, Master Clocks, Process Computers (PLC's), Multi-Media System Controllers, and AE21 display controllers. Applications include computer controlled master clock systems, production monitors, time to next show timers, process indicators and message displays.

A simple 10 Byte message is required to send data or control information to the display. It provides addressing, mode selection, six characters of data and display attributes.
