In this tutorial we cover how to wire and program external switches to your digital clock. When using the stopwatch function in our clocks, the count can be started or stopped with an IR remote control (supplied with the clock) or with external wired buttons (496E supplied separately). We offer a wide range of stopwatch options in our standard units, in this video we cover the most common Start-Stop action. Let us know in the comments how you’re using your stopwatch clock!
