NixiChron
GPS Satellite Controlled Nixie Tube Clock
The NixiChron clock was my last GPS referenced chronometer model, and is
housed in an attractive anodized metal enclosure.
This model is offered in a choice of five different colors designed
to please everyone: Silver,
Black,
Red,
Blue
and Green
Digit height is an impressive 1 3/4 inches tall. The clock dimensions
are 4 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 3 inches deep.
NixiChron remains accurate to within a fraction of a second of the GPS
Satellite transmission. Far superior to local oscillator and
AC line referenced clocks.
Local Time, Date, Latitude / Longitude coordinates,
and the temperature can be configured to scroll across the display at intervals
of: 1, 15, 30, 60 minutes.
Time can be displayed in 12 or 24 hour format. For 12 hour format:
a PM indicator is located at the lower left of the display.
Date can be displayed in either
mm,dd,yy OR dd,mm,yy format. The temperature
can be displayed in degrees F or degrees C with quarter degree precision.
A pleasing soft chime tone
can be enabled to strike at selected intervals, and a choice of chime
styles are provided. The scrolling speed can be varied from slow
to -fast in a range of ten
individual steps. And, each of the features can be separately
disabled from the periodic scrolling cycle. The colon indicators
separating the paired digits can
vary their configuration to upper, lower, or independent. This determines
whether the Time, Date, Coordinates or Temperature are currently
being displayed.
NixiChron uses an integrated remote receiver/antenna to receive the
satellite transmissions. Some locations may deliver adequate satellite
reception inside of a
structure, whereas others will require external mounting. The
antenna is weatherproof, and includes a 25' extension cable for remote
installation requirements.
NixiChron includes a unique method of operation in areas with
"spotty" reception due to limited antenna mounting considerations;
a secondary time source!
In the event of satellite signal loss after successful startup; NixiChron
will continue operation using the high precision 1pps signal pulse from
the GPS receiver.
The lower right colon lamp will extinguish to indicate the clock is
operating from the local precision, and then relight when the satellite
signal has been restored.
If power is ever lost, a lithium battery will maintain GPS receiver
ephemeris, and quickly resume operation when power is restored. No typical
cold start TTFF
(Time To First Fix) delay is incurred when NixiChron is re powered.
The initial startup acquire after installation may take 2-5 minutes, location
dependent.
NixiChron uses an integrated GPS receiver/antenna module. And is totally
weatherproof. Antenna extensions up to 100 feet can be used with no loss
in reception.
NixiChron operates from a compact 12vdc wall power adapter, accepting
90-260VAC from 47-63 Hz. North American style plug is standard with the
clock.
All European and Asian model plugs are supported as well, and will
be provided for customers outside of North America.
The GPS antenna and power connectors are shown at the rear. The setup
menu features are accessed via two pushbuttons at the left rear of the
clock.
