This master clock provides the time synchronisation solution for complete systems of equipment including computer networks, CCTV security, voice recording, industrial process control, CCC and many other applications requiring accurate time synchronisation.
Standard available with GPS, MSF, DCF and NTP synchronisation inputs
This master clock series is fitted with a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface to allow the unit to act as NTP time server on a TCP/IP network
All master clocks are supplied as standard with one serial RS232 and RS485/RS422 serial ASCII Time and Date output
The master clock has one new zCode digital and analogue clock output
The output can be user programmed to transmit w482 time code for digital clock of series 400, Active MSF, Active DCF or 24 V Alternate polarity impulses as required by the connected digital and analogue clocks
