If you aren't sure how to do this, and the small error bothers you, it's best to return the clock. Assuming that the signal is still on, the following suggestions, in order of increasing difficulty, may help to improve reception of the MSF radio signal: The signal operates on a frequency of 60 kHz and carries a time and date code that can be received and decoded by a wide range of readily available radio-controlled clocks. trailer
Due to technology advances and the economies of scale, radio controlled clocks are now very inexpensive, often costing just a few dollars more than conventional clocks. Below I explain how I did it. Some clocks allow you to select any time zone, even those time zones that are outside the coverage area. 0000001389 00000 n

The lowest frequency received by any of the other radios in your house is probably 530 kHz, the bottom of the AM broadcast band. If it works outdoors but not indoors, you probably have a local interference problem inside your house or building. Please confirm, if you accept our tracking cookies. 0000014770 00000 n
The main causes of reception problems are local interference from electrical equipment and a reduced local signal due to screening by nearby metalwork, for example in a steel-framed building. <<11CBDA9124873D46BD14BA40FA78F84B>]/Prev 48864>>
This level should be sufficient to allow the time and date code to be received without difficulty, and in all areas of the UK radio-controlled clocks have been found to synchronise correctly to the signal. During the transition from standard time to daylight saving time (DST) they "spring forward" one hour, and when DST is finished they "fall back" one hour. nr 18-2664 Modell ST-478 MSF UK White 36-4695 ST-478 DCF White Radio Controlled Clock Art. The clock can be set manually and used as a regular quartz wall clock until it finds the radio signal. manually adjust the hands. Some analog clocks have an audio indication (a usa-button you can push that indicates through a series of tones or beeps if the signal is there). Clocks can be standalone or network synced. Time in 12/24 hour format. NIST provides the signal received by your radio controlled clock, but we cannot provide technical support for the clocks themselves. 0000006010 00000 n

xb``c``````[ Through voluntary compliance with the recommended practices listed here, manufacturers can benefit by continuing to develop more reliable and usable radio controlled products, increasing both consumer confidence and sales. Some radio controlled clocks only allow you to select four different time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern). The time zone buttons may be pressed any time after installing the batteries. were collected and I had another go to see if I could make it work before ditching If you view if from an angle, you can think it's off by a few seconds, even if it's not. Lock This is probably due to a local source of interference. Once your radio controlled clock has synchronized, it won't decode the signal from WWVB again for a while. 0000002535 00000 n
If your clock is off by one or more hours, it probably has to do with a time zone setting. 0000005877 00000 n
When checking an analog clock, make sure you are looking straight at the clock face, and not viewing it from an angle. endobj

For example, if the radio controlled clock is near a source of interference (like a computer monitor) the noise level will increase, and the clock might not be able to synchronize. Make sure it isn't disabled if your area observes DST. startxref

We have also heard several reports from Alaska that the clocks work fine, even though Alaska is outside the coverage area shown on the maps. 1-3 again if it doesnt stop at 12), press the Reset button. Once your radio controlled clock has decoded the signal from WWVB, it will synchronize its own clock to the message received by radio. until one day, my husband found it whilst de-cluttering and placed it by the recycling correct local time. endstream

Its accuracy will depend on the quality of the quartz crystal. For example, if you live in a mobile home or a house with steel siding, the clock might not work. The atomic clock is the standard measure of time: the electron resonance frequency of the Caesium 133 atom is 9,192,631,770 cycles per second which is measured to give a time accurate to greater than +/- 1 second per million . <>
