Synchronized Clocks
WIRED / WIRELESS CLOCK SYSTEMS
Keeping your facility running effortlessly, on-time and in-sync.
Dukane® Master Clocks easily interface to paging and intercom systems such as the Dukane® CH1000(LT) and legacy Dukane StarCall and MCS350 communication systems for tone generation and audible signaling of bell schedules.
They also conform to the open communications standard adopted by the ZigBee Alliance of manufacturers, giving them compatibility with a wide range of wireless automation platforms available today and in the future.
Choose a wired system for new installations, a wireless system for retrofit installations or a combination of both for complete flexibility. A wide selection of analog and digital clocks are available with a range of mounting and installation options.
Dukane® clock systems deliver accurate, reliable, user-friendly and cost-effective timekeeping and communication.
Relay precise NTP or GPS time-code signals throughout a wired or wireless network via the central Master Clock.
Employing a wireless cascading network enables each clock to repeat the signal to other clocks in the system allowing for continuous self correction and consistent timekeeping throughout the entire facility.
Dukane® clocks are easy to configure thanks to Dukane’s exclusive browser-based Master Clock setup. Simply login to the Master Clock for intuitive on-screen configuration. Easily operate digital clock count-up/count-down timers and messages with a simple wall button.
The wireless cascading network reduces system setup and installation costs, thanks to the relatively low signal strength that is necessary for it to function efficiently. This eliminates the expense and time required to obtain an FCC license, install a radio antenna or run wires.
In a wireless cascading network each clock in the system is capable of receiving and transmitting the wireless signal, enabling it to be used as a repeater while boosting the data stream along the system. With this dual capability there is no limit to the number of clocks that can be installed throughout high-rises, sprawling facilities and small buildings alike.
Because the signal fans out and is repeated by a cascading number of devices, a single clock will typically receive its data from a number of different angles. This dramatically reduces the effect of obstructions, noise sources, or long distances on the reliability of the system.
Furthermore, if an individual clock looses its signal, it will link to a nearby clock and automatically synchronize with that new source. The Dukane® 2-inch and 4-inch Digital Secondary Clocks (24ZB20/24ZB40) provide a highly visible, even-intensity, long-life display of time. They operate in either 12 or 24-hour format, and at Bright or Normal intensity levels.
These cost-effective digital clocks can be used in a wired time-keeping system or a wireless system with the addition of a ZigBee Wireless Sync Module.The Dukane® 12-inch Analog Secondary Clocks (24ZBP12R/24ZB12R) ship wireless ready with the ZigBee wireless capabilities built-in.
