CRONUS
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
Feed the AC adapters’ cord through the wall to where the clock is going to be located. Connect the wires
from the AC adapter to the clock. The polarity of the wires does not matter. (Do NOT adjust the nuts that
are already on the clock).
Mount the clock directly over the cable feed-thru-hole to avoid crimping the wire under the lip. We
recommend mounting the clock on one of our pre-drilled and centered panels.
Plug the power supply into a 110 VAC power outlet.
When Cronus starts up, it checks the tide time stored in the battery backed up memory. If it finds that the
tide in memory is prior to the current time, it advances the tide time to the next tide in the future. Normally
you will be unaware of this action however, if the tide needs to advance a long way, you will see the
words “HI” and “LO” appear alternately on the display. It takes about 4 seconds to advance the tide one
year. Next, it will perform a brief self-test. All the LED’s will light for two seconds and then all the LED’s
will turn off for two seconds. Finally, Cronus will go to the "Time" display mode.
OPERATION
Pushing the switch to the right “Select/Auto” and allowing it to return to the middle will toggle Cronus
between time and date. This will be indicated by the illuminated function light (AM, PM, 24Hr or, Date).
Pushing the switch to the right “Select/Auto” and holding it for at least three seconds will put Cronus into
its auto-sequencing mode. Cronus will alternate between the time and date display automatically. Each
function is displayed for approximately five seconds.
To stop Cronus from auto-sequencing simply move the switch to “Select/Auto” and release it.
During power outages, the display will turn off but the clock will continue to run on its internal batteries.
The internal batteries will run the clock for up to 10 years in the absence of AC power.
SETTING VALUES AND OPTIONS
Cronus uses the same basic setting method for all values. The value being set will be flashing. Pressing
the switch to “Select” will select different items to set. Pressing the switch to the left, “Set”, will change
the flashing value. When no values are flashing, pressing the switch to “Set” will end the setting
operation. The next sections describe the setting operations in detail.
Note: When you change the date or time settings, if the new settings make the currently set tide time
invalid, Cronus will automatically calculate the new tide time for you.
