  • DTG Series

    The DTG series supporting (DTG) format date-time group format which is used in the Military’s message traffic (a form of Automated Message Handling System). For example In US military messages and communications (e.g., on maps showing troop movements) the format is DD HHMM (SS) Z MON YY. Although occasionally seen with spaces, it can also be written as a single string of characters. Plura DTG series can support these three different formats:-

    DDHHMMSSZmmmYY  Full time (software timestamps)
    DDHHMMSSmmmYY Shortened time (timestamps manually written)
    DDHHMMZmmmYY Shortened time (timestamps manually written)

    The display is driven with high brightness segments which can be utilized under bright light applications.

    The DTG series are equipped with a built-in quartz clock enables continuous operation even if a drop out of signal occurs.

    The displays have robust and rugged construction for heavy duty applications.

    DTG series has 14, 12 or 11 digit versions:-

    DTG126-11: 11 Digits, DDHHMMmmmYY
    DTG126-12: 12 Digits, DDHHMMZmmmYY
    DTG126-14: 14 Digits, DDHHMMSSZmmmYY

    DD = 100mm, HHMMSS = 126mm, ZmmmYY = 100mm

    The LEDs feature selectable colors (red, green, yellow, blue and a user defined color of RGB) as well as adjustable brightness.

    Various universal interfaces are included, which enable a wide assortment of data or Time Codes to be displayed.
