VORTEX timelord-lite master clock






- Stock: 2
- Code: BS18380
- Model: timelord-lite
The TimeLord Lite Atomic-locked Master Time Source is an
entry-level master clock designed to drive digital displays and provide
accurate time data for video servers and timestamping equipment. It is housed
in a 1-U rackmount enclosure with integral mains power supply and is
battery-backed to keep the logic running in case of mains failure. There are 15
internal time zones with individual seasonal daylight saving information
already programmed for the next hundred years or so, and the logic is
battery-backed in case of mains failure. The 482 Time/Date code output is used
to reference digital clocks, day/date and multi-zone displays from the
established V-400A series.
The TimeLord Lite may be synchronized to an off-air atomic
reference, automatically maintaining the correct time throughout the year. GPS
(satellite), MSF (Rugby) or DCF (Frankfurt) receivers are available. The GPS
system consists of an active antenna plus receiver/interface whilst the MSF and
DCF receivers are housed in ABS IP65 boxes. The Serial time data output is
designed for locking computer servers and timestamping applications, providing
accurate time and date information in numerous data formats.
