Figure 1: Front and Rear Panel Layout of the Aune SC1 EVO Audio Clock. The front panel features a display screen, a multifunctional button, and an indicator light. The rear panel includes 10MHz sine wave outputs, 10MHz square wave outputs, a DC power input, an AC input, and a power switch.

Frontpanel:

  • Skærm: Shows operational status, temperature, and clock frequency.
  • Multifunktionel knap: Bruges til at navigere i menuer og justere indstillinger.
  • Indikatorlys: Giver visuel feedback om enhedens status.

Bagside:

  • 10MHz Sine Wave Output: Two outputs for connecting to compatible audio devices requiring a sine wave clock signal.
  • 10MHz Square Wave Output: Two outputs for connecting to compatible audio devices requiring a square wave clock signal.
  • DC strømindgang: For connecting an external 12V DC power supply.
  • AC-indgang: For connecting the main power cable (110-240V AC).
  • Afbryderen: For at tænde eller slukke for enheden.

4.2 Vivid UI Display

Figure 2: The SC1 EVO's full-color display showing real-time core chamber temperature and clock status. Red indicates warm-up, yellow indicates operational status, and green indicates optimal performance, keeping you informed of the clock's status.

The SC1 EVO features a full-color display with a dedicated clock UI. This interface monitors the core chamber temperature in real-time. The display uses a color-coded system:

  • Rød: Indicates the warm-up phase.
  • Gul: Angiver driftsstatus.
  • Grøn: Indicates optimal performance.

This visual feedback helps users understand the clock's current state and ensures optimal timing synchronization.

5. Opsætning

5.1 Strømtilslutning

Diagram of Aune SC1 EVO AC+DC Dual Input power system

Figure 3: AC+DC Dual Input power system diagram. The SC1 EVO supports both 110-230V AC input and 12V DC input, with DC priority for enhanced performance.

The SC1 EVO supports both AC and DC power inputs. The device features a DC/AC selection circuit with DC priority.

  1. AC strøm: Connect the provided power cable to the AC input port on the rear panel and then to a standard wall outlet (110-240V AC).
  2. Jævnstrøm: For optimal performance, you can connect an external 12V DC linear power supply or compatible lithium battery to the DC power input. If both AC and DC are connected, the unit will prioritize the DC input.

5.2 Tilslutning til lydenheder

The SC1 EVO provides four independent 10MHz outputs: two sine wave and two square wave. These can be used simultaneously.

  1. Identify the 10MHz clock input on your audio device (e.g., DAC, streamer, CD player).
  2. Use a high-quality 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect one of the SC1 EVO's 10MHz outputs (sine or square, depending on your device's requirement) to the 10MHz input of your audio device.
  3. Ensure a secure connection at both ends.
  4. Repeat for additional compatible devices, utilizing the remaining outputs as needed.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1 Tænd/sluk

  • To power on the SC1 EVO, ensure the power cable(s) are connected, then flip the power switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position.
  • The display will illuminate, and the unit will begin its warm-up sequence (indicated by a red status on the UI).
  • For at slukke skal du dreje tænd/sluk-knappen til 'OFF'-positionen.

6.2 Forstå skærmen

Once powered on, the display will show the core chamber temperature and the clock's status. Allow the unit to reach its optimal operating temperature (indicated by a green status) for the most stable and precise clock signal. This warm-up period ensures the OCXO achieves its specified accuracy.

6.3 Using the Multifunctional Button

The multifunctional button on the front panel allows for basic interaction with the device. Specific functions may include:

  • Short press: Cycle through display modes or confirm selections.
  • Long press: Enter/exit settings menu or power standby mode.

Refer to the on-screen prompts for detailed button operations.

6.4 Simultaneous Output Operation

The SC1 EVO's four independent outputs (two sine wave, two square wave) can operate simultaneously. This allows you to provide a precise 10MHz clock signal to multiple compatible audio components in your system at the same time, ensuring synchronized performance across your setup.

7. Vedligeholdelse

  • Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre enhedens yderside. Brug ikke flydende rengøringsmidler eller slibende materialer.
  • Ventilation: Sørg for, at ventilationsåbningerne ikke er blokerede for at forhindre varmeophobning.
  • Opbevaring: Når enheden ikke er i brug i længere perioder, skal den opbevares køligt og tørt, væk fra direkte sollys og støv.

8. Fejlfinding

Problem Mulig årsag Løsning
Ingen strøm/Enheden tænder ikke Strømkabel ikke tilsluttet; Strømafbryder slukket; Defekt stikkontakt Check power cable connections; Ensure power switch is ON; Try a different power outlet.
No clock signal to audio device Incorrect cable type; Loose connection; Audio device not configured for external clock Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable; Ensure connections are secure; Check your audio device's manual for external clock setup.
Display shows 'Warm-up' for extended period Normal operation for OCXO; Insufficient ventilation Allow sufficient time (typically 15-30 minutes) for the OCXO to stabilize; Ensure adequate airflow around the unit.
