American Time and Signal's AllSync Wired Clock System
American Time and Signal has introduced the new AllSync Wired Clock System. This unique system consists of a clock master programmer and wired system clocks. This system reduces power consumption. A facility can run up to five times as many clocks on the same amount of power as a traditional mechanical clock system. The energy savings at a facility will add up quickly over time. AllSync also has the ability to obtain the precise "atomic" time from a choice of two sources: a GPS (global positioning system) signal or Ethernet signal. The time is then transmitted to the clocks for extremely accurate timekeeping. Facilities need accurate time schedules for a smooth operation of letting students out of school that synchronize with the bus schedule, for example. The AllSync master programmer has the ability to easily program events or change bell schedules from a remote location within a facility, from another building on campus, or even from home via a PC Ethernet connection. Now the master can be housed in an out-of-the-way place.
