Attention! Danger!
Electric shock hazard! The clock contains high-voltage part of the Nixie tubes power
supply.
Never:
•Immerse the clock into the water or other liquids or flush them with water
•Disassemble the clock or replace Nixie tubes with the power supply on
Warning
Before connecting the clock make sure the supply voltage corresponds to the output
voltage of the AC power adaptor and the voltage of the local grid corresponds to that
of the adaptor.
In case of the AC power adaptor damage replace it for a similar one. To ensure the
clock safe operation use only recommended AC power adaptor.
The clock contains fragile glass elements –Nixie tubes. Be careful during the
operation, cleaning and care.
Put the clock in the locations not accessible for children aged under 8. Do not allow
the children to play with the clock or disassemble it.
Make sure the power-supply cord does not hang off the table, cabinet or another
clock installation position.
The clock body is made of wood which makes it susceptible to humidity and ambient
temperature effects. The clock storage and operation in high or low humidity and
temperature as well as their sharp changes are not admissible. Failure to observe
these requirements may result in the body damage, cracking and deformation.
The clock is intended for the use inside heated rooms only. In case of the clock
improper use, failure to observe operation conditions or non-observance of the
requirements stated herein the warranty becomes null and void and AiV Electronics
Company assumes no responsibility for any resulting damage.

2. INTRODUCTION
AiV Nixie electronic clock is intended to display exact time using the data from
GLONASS/GPS satellite navigation system using a built-in receiver with an
active antenna ensuring the reception of the satellite signals in a standard
room (apartment, office).
The clock body is made of solid exotic wood, steel and plexiglass.
The information is displayed using IN-18 Nixie tubes filled with inert gas with
the digits glowing red-orange colour (the digit height is 40 mm). The glowing
brightness is adjustable.
The clock is equipped with LED illumination to perform night lamp functions. The
illumination colour and brightness are adjustable.
On the clock front panel there is a touch slider to facilitate the clock set-up
and illumination control.

4. PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURE
Before Switching On
Before switching the clock on for the first time please carefully read this
Manual.
After the transportation take the clock out of the package and leave it for 2
hours at room temperature. Remember that the clock wooden body is
extremely susceptible to the environmental impacts.
IN-18 Nixie Tube Installation
Install IN-18 Nixie tubes into the sockets on the clock top side.
Attention! Be careful when installing the tubes!
Negligence and haste may result in the damage of the tubes and the clock
itself.
The tubes MUST be installed one by one.
9
Install the tubes only in the vertical position by pressing the tubes! Do NOT
attempt to sway the tubes to facilitate the installation: it may result in the
tube connector and contact failure.
Observe the tube orientation!
IN-18 tubes have fourteen contacts. The spacing between the first and the last
contacts is increased –use it as the marker of the tube correct position
during their installation.
Only after making sure that all the outputs of IN-18 Nixie tubes fit the relevant
contacts of the clock terminal perform the indicator final installation by the
vertical pressing onto it with a slight effort until it stops holding the clock
body.
Positioning Location Selection
After installing all the four tubes select the place for the clock permanent
location. During the location selection consider the possibility of the signal
reception from GLONASS/GPS satellite navigation systems. The signal reception
depends on the clock position indoors, from the room position inside the building
and adjacent buildings covering the sky. Toner films on the windows also
substantially affect the clock operation. It is not recommended to install the
10
clock in the rooms without windows, in the basements etc. because the exact
time signal reception there will be impossible which will bias the time readings.
It is not recommended to install the clock at the distance of more than 3 m
from the window. GLONASS/GPS built-in antenna location and direction is
shown in the Figure below.
Automatic Time Determination Using GLONASS/GPS
Connect the AC power adaptor. The clock will be switched on and start
working. During the first actuation wait until the clock identify the satellites
and automatically set the exact time. It may take from ten seconds to one hour.
If the time is determined within one minute, you selected the location with an
excellent satellite signal level. If the time is determined within 5–10 minutes,
the clock position is good.
If the time is not determined for one hour we recommend selecting a different
location in the room. If this is impossible, see Section 8 for more detailed
information.
