UPDATE: As of April 1, 2017, each size of ESE's Analog Clocks has been upgraded and given its own product page. You can use the following links to navigate to the individual pages: the LX-5105U, the LX-5112U, and the LX-5116U.


The LX-5105U / LX-5112U / LX-5116U are Wall Mount Analog Clocks with a 5", 12" and 16" viewing diameter, respectively. The units are designed to operate as Time Code Readers or Stand-Alone Clocks. They can read, decode and display time information from most any Master Clock or other source of time code. The clock will display time as received from a source of SMPTE/EBU, ASCII (format 0, 1, 8 or A) or ESE Time Code™. After a very simple "set-up" procedure and receipt of time code, the unit automatically sets itself to the exact time and continuously slaves to the time code (If time code is lost, an error indicator is lit and the clock continues counting while referencing an internal crystal time base).

In absence of external Time Code the unit may be set to real time and allowed to run based on its internal crystal oscillator. The second hand is completely silent and can be programmed for "Sweep" mode or "Step" mode.

The initial set-up allows the unit to have its hours (and/or minutes) offset to that of another time zone. Also, since the clock can continuously track time code, there is no need to twice annually compensate for daylight saving time (assuming the Master Clock automatically adjusts itself accordingly).

NOTE: NTP-C and PoE options not available on LX-5105U.
