Master clocks
Ensure that every networked clock shows synchronised precise time
A master clock is a precision electronic device that sends reliable and consistent time signals to synchronise all the analogue and digital slave clocks on a network so they all display the same accurate time. This is especially important in organisations where highly accurate time stamping of events is critical such as financial institutions, transport hubs, healthcare facilities and distribution centres.
The Benefits of a Master Clock
As well as controlling the time displayed on all wired or wireless (DHF) networked clocks, Bodet Time’s master clock can also accurately control the on/off timing for many other systems in your organisation. This can include heating, lighting, air conditioning, access control, and other devices connected to the network
- The time displayed on all clocks is automatically received from standard reliable sources (GPS, radio)
- The correct time is transmitted to all clocks on the network simultaneously
- GMT/BST changeovers in spring and autumn are automatic
- A range of time distribution protocols (Impulse, wireless, NTP, Time code) are available
- Programmed activation/deactivation signals can trigger networked devices, such as heating, lighting, bell and PA systems, and access control.
SIGMA Software
With Bodet Time’s SIGMA intuitive software, as well as configuring master clocks, you can and schedule bell and relay systems (air conditioning, heating), The software incorporates a scheduling assistant and stores configurations.
