1 x felt
Tips for the Assembly:
Important notice:
All acrylic parts were cut with a laser. Due to this production method there is a protective film on
their surface. It has to be removed before the assembly. The protective film prevents the acrylic from being damaged in
the production process. Underneath the foil the acrylic is clean.
The MDF components were also cut with a laser. The method creates an edge whose odor may possibly be perceived as
unpleasant wood odor. If necessary, the MDF components are to be aired out outdoors, 24 to 36 hours are sufficient.
Stains on the MDF are normal and when the clock has been assembled they are being covered by the chrome foil and
the motherboard.
The protective film needs to be removed carefully from the acrylic numbers. For this purpose the kit contains a red
acrylic tool. With this tool the protective film can be lifted on the edges for easier removal. Please be very careful.
Especially the two light pipes of every acrylic number are very fragile and break when there is too much strain. Take
your time for this step.
It is also recommendable to wear gloves so the acrylic does not get stained. In case there are fingerprints on the acrylic
in spite of that, remove them immediately using a new and clean microfiber cloth.
methylated spirits to clean it. That destroys the acrylic immediately!
please use only plastic cleaner without alcohol and without solvents.
Please be very careful with the motherboard while the clock is not assembled yet. Especially the operating panel is
fragile (e.g. concerning pressure). Please do not press it until the whole assembly of the switch and the encoder is
completed.
Throughout the assembly tools are unnecessary. A fitting Torx screwdriver is helpful but should not be used with force.
The screws should only be tightened with your hands. That is very important for the insertion of the acrylic numbers.
Only insert them while the screws are a little tightened but still loose. If you tighten them too much the fragile acrylic
numbers can break.
Please add the knob for the encoder and the aluminum knob for the push-button carefully. Due to the laser-cutting the
knob for the encoder has one side where it is easier to add and one where it is a little harder. If you have problems with
this component try turning it around.

External Synchronization:
In spite of the very precise RTC (deviation only few seconds per month) the NixieCroN M4 can be synchronized with
external signals.
DCF77, Wi-Fi and GPS are available. The respective sync can easily be connected to the motherboard.
If you would like to acquire a sync please contact your retailer.
LED BASIC:
The operating system of the NixieCroN M4 kits is based on LED BASIC. The 32 bit ARM-Cortex M0 controller on the
motherboard can process the BASIC code quickly about 10,000 lines per second.
The inspiration for LED BASIC is the Basic interpreter by Adam Dunkel.
With LED BASIC you can change, modify, or adjust the complete NixieCroN system. LED BASIC is freeware and can be
learned easily.
The LED BASIC Editor including the manual (pdf) is available as a download:

The editor is only compatible with Windows. Windows 7 - 10 are recommended.
Power Supply:
The power supply are USB-compatible contacts like smartphone power supplies, USB power banks, USB contacts of PC
or laptop. On the motherboard there are two USB connectors (mini and micro). Only one of the connectors can be used
at once.
