Seiko Time Creation QC-55101/QC-55102 Master Clock

Manufacturer: Seiko Time Creation Inc.
Model: QC-55101/QC-55102

Overview

The SEIKO QC-5500 Series is a high-precision quartz master clock offering various functions to meet user needs, including RS-422 synchronization output and daylight saving time settings. Available in AC 110V (QC-55X01) and AC 220V (QC-55X02) models, the clock can automatically adjust its internal time when connected to the GNSS Receiver (GNS-300).

Features:

Master Clock Function: You can connect up to 30 secondary clocks per channel (with 12 mA current consumption per clock).
External Synchronization: When connected to an external master clock generating a 30-sec polarized signal, the clock automatically corrects time loss/gain.
Time Correction: Time is automatically corrected when connected to the GNSS Receiver (GNS-300).
