C51 :: DCF77 radio clock with RS232 interface and integrated power supply (incl. antenna and 5m cable)
Product Description
The radio remote clock C600RS has been designed for applications where only the serial interface is used to transmit information on date and time to other devices. The clock has an enhanced LF receiver and is manufactured using surface mounting technology (SMT). The elevtronic assembly is mounted in a plastic case with four LEDs in the front panel which let the user monitor the clock's status.
RS232 interface and 20mA input/output circuits. Pulse per second and pulse per minute. These pulses are made available at the DB25 connector via optocoupler outputs. The P_SEC pulse is also available with RS-232 level (-3..12V/+3..12V).
