The second generation TimeCast™ digital clocks now support three modes of time synchronization, Radio Frequency, Wifi, and Wired Systems with a master clock! This page contains information and documents related to wireless Radio Frequency and Wifi operation. For information about Wired System operation, see the TimeCast™ Wired Digital Clocks page.
In Wifi mode, TimeCast™ clocks are compatible with 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n WiFi using WPA, WPA2, WEP, and open networks. The clocks also support EAP authentication with 802.1x MSCHAPv2. In Radio Frequency mode, the clocks are part of a TimeCast™ Radio Frequency mesh network that utilizes license free ISM frequency bands. The Multiple Path Flooding TimeCast™ technique provides simple, reliable, and redundant communication for trouble-free data transmission.
The OLED display on the side of each clock provides easy setup and diagnosis. Quickly determine if the TimeCast™ signal and time data has been received. At a glance, determine the signal strength from the clock back to the base station, last check-in, number of peer clocks within range and other information. User buttons provide menu navigation and setting initial time and date if necessary. Clock settings such as brightness, auto-dim thresholds, time zone and 12-hour or 24-hour time display format also utilize this easy to understand display. Unique QR code at each clock directly links to the free NATSCO cloud service. Complete check-in history with signal strength and nearby clock information is displayed as well as product information and troubleshooting assistance.
Available in both 2.3” 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. NATSCO’s exclusive automatic dim feature decreases the brightness to compensate for low ambient light levels associated with surgical suites 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. Add a durable metal housing to the long life epoxy filled digit segments and you won’t find better value.
The 24VAC/DC version can leverage easier to install, low voltage, power-limited wiring for less costly installation. The 120V version can use a local 120V circuit. The hard wired version includes a 120/24V transformer that mounts in a standard electrical box. The wall transformer version can plug into a nearby standard 120V outlet. Cases are available in black or grey.
