Purchases and Ugly Box Discount areas before you leave! Atomix Atomic ClocksAtomix is the atomic clock product line from Chaney Instruments. Atomic clocks receive accurate time information via U.S. Government radio broadcasts from Fort Collins Colorado Please see notes below concerning the nature of Atomic (radio controlled) clocks. Please click on
the item title for complete description and availability information.

Notes:
The United States Government National
Institute of Standards and Technology maintains a radio station, WWVB, in
Ft. Collins, Colorado. This radio station transmits highly accurate time
information. Atomic, or Radio Controlled clocks receive this signal when
they can, and set themselves. These will maintain time accurate to a
fraction of a second as long as they are placed in a location where they can
receive the signal. Like any radio receiver however, they may not be able
to receive the signal if they are in a building with a lot of steel in the
structure, near computers or cordless phones that may generate interference, or
if the weather is unsuitable. Please
note. The signal they receive does
not propagate well during the day. That's the nature of the signal, not
the clock. These clocks are designed to catch the signal when they can,
generally in the middle of the night, calibrate themselves, and then run quite
accurately for days until they can catch another signal. When
you first put in the batteries, they will most likely not set themselves until
the middle of the night. That's normal. By morning, weather
permitting, it should be correct.
Radio controlled clocks
automatically change for daylight savings time, although those of you that don't
follow daylight savings time can disable that function. The clock doesn't "know"
when to make the switch. The clock makes the switch the first time it receives
the radio signal from Fort Collins after the time change. If you have trouble
receiving the signal, due to building construction, interference, or bad
weather, the change may be delayed. We use an Atomic clock in the office of our
warehouse. The warehouse is a horrible environment for an Atomic clock. The
building is all steel, the office is full of interference producing computer
equipment that stays on all night, and the only windows face East (Fort Collins
is West from our location). Depending on the weather, it can take a week for our
clock to make the time change if I leave it hanging on the wall. If I take it
down and set it in the window (even though it's facing the wrong direction), it
usually catches the signal within minutes, or at least overnight, depending on
the weather. Between time changes, our clock remains accurate to a fraction of a
second. |
