Does your team work in an environment that requires constant cleaning, sterilization, or washdowns? Are you in the food processing, pharmaceutical, or cleanroom industries and wondering if there’s a reliable way to display accurate time without compromising hygiene or electronics? DC-Digital has the perfect answer — the DC-60N-POE-NEMA, a 6-inch LED digital clock built specifically for rugged, wet, and sanitary environments.

Recently, Costco ordered ten of these units for use in their meat processing department, where maintaining both cleanliness and synchronized operations is crucial. This custom-designed unit delivers accurate, reliable, and clearly visible time — all while being protected in a NEMA 4X IP-66 rated enclosure.

Built for Harsh Environments

The DC-60N-POE-NEMA is designed with durability and cleanliness in mind:

• NEMA 4X / IP-66 Rated Enclosure: Fully sealed and water resistant, perfect for environments requiring regular washdowns.
• Hinged Access Panel: Allows users to view and access internal components, such as the MAC address or network hardware, without compromising the enclosure’s integrity.
• 6-Inch LED Display: Bright, clear time display viewable from a distance — ideal for large rooms and busy industrial spaces.

Whether you’re spraying down a cleanroom or sanitizing a meat processing floor, this clock is engineered to withstand it all.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) and NTP 2.0 Synchronization

This unit isn’t just durable — it’s smart.

The DC-60N-POE-NEMA runs on Power over Ethernet, so there’s no need for separate power cords. It connects directly to your network and synchronizes with time servers using DC-Digital’s advanced NTP 2.0 protocol.

Key Features of NTP 2.0:

• Webpage-Based Configuration: The embedded webpage is easy to navigate from any browser — including on your phone.
• Automatic IP Detection: View the device’s IP address and live time directly from the browser.
• Customizable Settings:
  • Synchronization interval (from 1 to 1800 seconds)
  • Time format (12-hour or 24-hour)
  • Daylight saving adjustments
  • Time zone selection
  • Device naming (e.g., “Food Storage Clock,” “Conference Room Clock”)

Once configured, the system runs automatically and even displays a warning on the clock face if it loses connection — helping teams respond quickly if issues arise.

Easy Setup and Multi-Unit Integration

Mounting the DC-60N-POE-NEMA is straightforward:

• Loosen the thumb screws and open the front panel
• Use the through-hole mounting points (six total) to attach securely to the wall
• Once powered up, the unit performs a full LED digit check and then displays the synchronized time from your NTP server

Have multiple clocks across your facility? DC-Digital offers a web server integration option that allows you to:

• Monitor all clocks from one screen
• Check network status of each clock
• Quickly identify any unit that’s offline

This is the same system used by Costco, and it scales easily depending on the size of your facility.

Ideal Applications

The DC-60N-POE-NEMA is a trusted solution for any environment where time accuracy and cleanliness are non-negotiable:

• Food Processing Plants
• Pharmaceutical Labs
• Cleanrooms
• Sterile Manufacturing Facilities
• Industrial Kitchens
