Features

WiFi Network Connection

Rather than creating a radio frequency spectrum competing RF system of transmitters and repeaters with unpredictable results, WiFi based clocks leverage your initial or previous investment in your building’s existing network infrastructure.This WiFi based system allows technicians and support staff to use familiar diagnostic tools, equipment and training that proprietary RF systems don’t offer. National’s battery clocks connect to 802.11b/g/n WiFi using WPA, WPA2, and open networks. They support DHCP to ease setup effort and utilize SNTP services for time accuracy.

Monitoring Capability

Unlike most RF battery systems and competing WiFi clocks, National’s WiFi connection provides two-way communication. Not only can the connection status to the time service be monitored, so can the WiFi signal level, time synchronization check-in history, battery voltage and other settings. National’s exclusive TIMEWiSE Cloud Service provides these statistics to any PC or hand-held device with an internet connection. Take control and be proactive with your time system rather that wait for complaints from occupants that the clock is off time

Easy Setup

National Time has developed the WiFi Wizard setup interface. Using only a web browser on any WiFi enabled device, the user is led step-by-step through the fast setup process. Alternately, there are also android and iOs apps available. These apps will scan for nearby clocks, automatically download required settings, and verify connection to the selected SNTP time server.

Description

National Time has been manufacturing WiFi based clocks since 2009. We leveraged this knowledge and experience not only to create a digital clock with unsurpassed features but, is also the easiest to use.

Each clock has a built-in setup wizard making configuring it to your building’s WiFi network a fast and simple process. Configuration can be accomplished using a smart phone or laptop without the need to install any special software. Time synchronization can be provided by any SNTP time server on the internet, or local network.

National Time offers a local TiMEWiSE™ Supervision Server or the TiMEWiSE™ Device Cloud service. When using these National Time services, the connection, signal strength and other statuses of the clocks are monitored. The Supervision Server is a device on the local network eliminating the need for an internet SNTP server. The free TiMEWiSE™ Device Cloud service monitors clock statuses and synchronization history allowing a proactive approach to system maintenance.

National Time’s digital clock series has more features that benefit your organization than any other. National’s exclusive automatic dim feature that decreases the brightness to compensate for low ambient light levels associated with artistic and video productions. This not only provides a pleasant brightness level, but also saves energy during nighttime hours. Nine brightness levels may be selected to satisfy the brightest locations.

A class-change timer function is also supported. A popular option in K-12 schools—count down the time left until students become tardy between classes. Alternately, a count-up timer function can be selected for other custom applications. These events can be scheduled using the TiMEWiSE™ Supervision Server. A smart phone or laptop can also be used to control an elapsed timer or count-down timer. Add a durable metal housing to the long life epoxy filled digit segments and you won’t find better value. Available in both 2.25” and 4” wide bar digits that increase the visibility over clocks of comparable size. 6-Digit versions displaying hours, minutes and seconds are also available.

Description

The PS-DRIVER-2/15A output module provides general purpose solid state outputs to be used in conjunction with other National Time products to either add additional outputs or to enhance the performance of a standard relay output. “Zero-Cross” turn on technology greatly reduces inrush currents and contact arcing exhibited by standard relay type control circuits.

A standard MC100 Master Clock’s relay output performance may be enhanced with the addition of the PS-DRIVER-2/15A output module. When On-Demand resets are superimposed on an existing synchronous clock circuit, it is recommended to utilize this solid state output to eliminate the contact damaging arcing and high currents caused by high inductive loads like synchronous clock motors.

The 5 amp outputs share a common feed which may be either 120VAC or 24VAC depending upon the clock or auxiliary device requirements. The outputs are individually fused with standard glass fuses. The PS-DRIVER-2/15A module may be controlled with equipment by others since the outputs are controlled via two open-collector inputs of either AC or DC power with a wide operating range of 5 to 24 volts.

Mounting

When ordered as PS-DRIVER-2/15A Output module, the board comes mounted in a heavy gauge steel enclosure (9”L x 8”W x 4”H). Mounting holes are provided to mount an additional PS-DRIVER-2/5A-BO module to provide four outputs in the same enclosure.
