The City of Hillsboro, Oregon selected the DC-150-TT-GPS Outdoor GPS Time & Temperature Display for its minor league baseball stadium, home of the Hillsboro Hops, the Class A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The large 15-inch LED display provides highly visible time and temperature information throughout the ballpark, ensuring spectators can easily view the display from nearly any seating location.
To meet the city’s specific requirements, the display was custom programmed to show time only during Hillsboro Hops games while maintaining full time and temperature functionality when desired. This customization demonstrates DC-Digital’s ability to engineer display solutions tailored to each customer’s operational needs.
Manufactured in Carlisle, Ohio, every DC-Digital display is built in the USA using commercial-grade components designed for long-term outdoor performance.
GPS-Synchronized Atomic Time Accuracy
The DC-150-TT-GPS utilizes a compact GPS receiver that synchronizes automatically with atomic time standards regulated by NIST. Once installed with a clear view of the sky—or through a non-metallic roof or window—the display continuously maintains precise time accuracy without manual adjustments.
End users can easily configure:
- 12-hour or 24-hour time format
- Daylight Saving Time enabled or disabled
- Programmable time zones
- Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display
Atomic synchronization provides timing accuracy equivalent to approximately one second over 15 billion years, eliminating clock drift and minimizing maintenance.
Accurate Outdoor Temperature Monitoring
An industrial-grade temperature probe continuously measures ambient conditions from -58°F to +194°F (-50°C to +90°C) with an accuracy of ±0.5°C across the operating range. The probe includes a connector, cable, and mounting housing for reliable outdoor installation.
The combination of precise timekeeping and accurate temperature measurement makes the display ideal for parks, athletic complexes, municipal facilities, schools, and public gathering areas.
High-Visibility Outdoor LED Display
The DC-150-TT-GPS features four 15-inch high-intensity red LED digits designed for outstanding readability in direct sunlight and adverse weather conditions.
Key display specifications include:
- 15-inch (381 mm) LED digits
- Viewing distance up to 750 feet (228.6 meters)
- Sunlight-resistant 621nm red LEDs
- Wide 110° × 40° viewing angle
- Crisp seven-segment digit design
The large display size allows spectators, staff, and visitors to read the time from virtually anywhere within large outdoor venues.
