Elproma Electronics, Atomic DCF77 Clock

THE EXACT TIME FOR NETWORKS AND STAND ALONE PC'S

The Elproma DCF77N clock is developed to guarantee the exact time on LAN or stand-alone computer systems. The DCF77N clock system receives the radio signal which is transmitted by the DCF77 Atomic clock transmitter near Frankfurt in Germany. The time signal is based on the vibration frequency of the caesium atom. The accuracy is about 1 second in 300.000 years. The Elproma DCF77N clock receives this time signal and check whether the time frame is correct or not. Inside the DCF77N clock a system of 5 internal clocks ensure that the received time is the correct time. In this way improper received time signals can never disturb your computer time and the exact time is guaranteed. Even after 3 days without power and not receiving the DCF signal, the accurate time is guaranteed. From now on the accurate time is always available for your operating system and application programs. Special features include a low voltage alarm contact, a switched main

and relay contact output controlled by a programmable 7 day timer and a 24V slave clock output. The Elproma DCF77N clock has found its way in the market where exact time is essential. Amongst the many applications you will find: time registration systems, banking, stock exchange, transportation com- panies, airlines, research, broadcasting.
