The ESE ES - 943U is an outstanding time code display. It features six 4.0' bright red LED displays, allowing for a viewing distance of up to 120'. Housed in a black - textured aluminum wall - mount enclosure measuring 7' H x 26' W x 3.5' D, it's both durable and stylish. This unit can accept various time codes, including ESE Time Code (TC76T, TC89T, or TC90T), SMPTE/EBU Time Code, and RS - 232C ASCII Time Code (format '0', '1' or 'A' at 9600 baud). It automatically detects the incoming code. With a rear - mounted DIP switch, you can configure it for 12 or 24 - hour format, or switch to display the date if the incoming code has date information. An optional time zone offset feature is available. The product also offers several options, such as different LED colors (red, amber, green, or blue), ceiling/wall mount brackets, 220 VAC/50 Hz operation, NTP client functionality, POE power supply, and a 'UL' approved power supply. A 3 - wire power cord is recommended in static - prone areas.

Using the ESE ES - 943U is quite straightforward. First, connect the appropriate time code source to the rear - mounted terminal block or 9 - pin connector, depending on the type of time code. The unit will automatically detect the incoming code. To set the display format, use the rear - mounted DIP switch. You can choose between 12 - hour and 24 - hour format, or switch to date display if the incoming code supports it. If you've ordered the time zone option, use the relevant DIP switch to set the offset. For the product options, like changing the LED color or using a different power supply, follow the manufacturer's instructions. When it comes to maintenance, keep the unit clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're using the 3 - wire power cord, make sure it's properly grounded to prevent static - related issues. In case of any problems, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
