A cost-effective base station is the beginning of your TimeCast™ Radio Frequency system. This Power-over-Ethernet (POE) unit is small enough to mount wherever needed. For installations without POE, the unit can be powered with a 24VDC wall transformer. The easy to understand user interface with 4-line display makes set- up a breeze. The LAN connection can use a local or internet SNTP time server to keep accurate time. A battery backup can keep internal time during outages. TimeCast™ signals are transmitted to all nearby clocks and is repeated by each clock for complete building coverage. All secondary clock information is gathered by the base station and stored locally or uploaded to the free National Time cloud service.
