Product Overview

McCain’s GPS Time Source Modules are easy-to-use, microprocessor-based Universal Time Base (UTB) devices that provide accurate time-of-day information for traffic signal controllers. The GPS Time Source retrieves time signals that are synchronized with the atomic clocks of the United States National Institute of Standards (NIST) and which are broadcast on the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite network. Using a precision GPS receiver and a microprocessor, the module decodes time signals and interfaces with the traffic control equipment.

Benefits

  • Synchronize time-of-day to GPS
  • Completely automated
  • Automatic daylight savings and leap second time corrections
  • Convenient LED status indicator
