Introducing a new clock, with exciting new features. ELITE Class Nixie Clocks work best in conjunction with our new XTERNA outdoor, wireless time and temperature transmitter module, to report accurate GPS time and also outdoor temperature with min / max function. Additional highlights of the ELITE Class Clocks are direct tube drive, double dot colon neons, PIR Motion Sensor Input, RGB accent lighting. 

Here are the key features of the ELITE Nixie:

  • Noiseless, Direct Drive giving optimum digit clarity
  • Uses a Quartz Crystal Oscillator as the timebase
  • 12 or 24 hour modes
  • Programmable leading zero blanking
  • Date display in either DD.MM.YY or  MM.DD.YY or YY.MM.DD format
  • Programmable date display each minute
  • Scrolling display of date or standard display
  • Alarm, with programmable snooze period
  • Optional GPS / XTERNA synchronisation with status indicator LED

Full kit of parts, including double dot neon colons with glass covers, 433 MHz receiver module,
pre-soldered SMD ICs, tube sockets, RGB LEDs and more. Double Dot Neon Colons with cover glasses.  Six IN-8 Nixie Tubes also included.


Hex standoffs not included. If you buy one of our cases, all hardware is included anyway. If you are making your own case and need some standoffs, we have several sizes here.




Two HV5622 High Voltage driver ICs are used, for direct drive. The absolute best way to drive tubes for best brightness and no noise.
 


The Included 433 MHz receiver module plugs directly into the back of the PCB, to receive time and temperature data from an XTERNA module. One XTERNA module can service as many compatible clocks and thermometers as you want. (Our longest standing customers will know what we mean!)

A very useful addition is the PIR Motion Sensor, which powers down the clock when the room is empty. 
 

Compatible with our XTERNA Time / Temperature Transmitter:

  

 



A 12V DC power adapter of minimum 500mA is needed for the clock. We have a very high
quality unit with a long 1.8m (6ft) cable in our store HERE
