Product Features
Technical Overview
The Algo 8401 operates on Network Time Protocol (NTP) for precise synchronization, drawing power through PoE to reduce cabling complexity. Its digital LED display uses 2.2-inch white digits for high visibility, with adjustable brightness to suit different lighting conditions. The clock is configurable via a web interface, allowing administrators to set preferences for time zone, daylight saving, brightness levels, and display format without physical adjustments.
Built with a focus on durability and compliance, the 8401 meets RoHS environmental standards and features a lightweight construction at 1.08 pounds. Its surface-mounted design includes wall-mountable hardware, and the black case offers a professional appearance that blends into office decor. Management options extend to compatibility with Algo 8300 systems or ADMP, providing centralized control for larger deployments.

FAQ
How does the Algo 8401 synchronize time?
The Algo 8401 uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time across a network. This ensures accurate timekeeping by connecting to NTP servers, reducing drift and manual adjustments. It supports configurable time zones and daylight saving settings via its web interface.
What power source does the Algo 8401 require?
The Algo 8401 is powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet), which allows it to receive both data and power through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate electrical outlets, making it ideal for locations where power access is limited.
Can I adjust the brightness of the display?
Yes, the Algo 8401 features adjustable brightness for its LED display. This can be configured through the web interface to suit different lighting conditions, ensuring optimal visibility in bright or dim environments without glare or dimness issues.
What are the mounting options for this clock?
The Algo 8401 is designed for wall mounting with a single-sided, surface-mounted profile. It includes hardware for secure attachment to walls, making it suitable for offices, hallways, and other facilities where desk space is limited or wall display is preferred.
Does the Algo 8401 support both 12 and 24-hour time formats?
Yes, the Algo 8401 supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats. This can be configured via the web interface, allowing customization based on regional preferences or organizational standards for time display.
How is the Algo 8401 managed in a network environment?
The Algo 8401 can be managed through a web interface for individual configuration, or centrally via Algo 8300 systems or ADMP (Algo Device Management Platform). This enables IT administrators to set time zones, daylight saving, brightness, and other settings across multiple clocks from a single interface.
