Mobatime

Transmission system for slave clocks

MOBALine is a two-wire transmission system for maintenance-free self-setting slave clocks and remotely synchronized computer-based systems.

MOBALine sets the time of:

• Self-setting digital and analog slave clocks
• Relays – switching of remotely located loads such as light, heat and bells
• Any system designed to be synchronized by DCF antennas
• Any system designed to be synchronized by AFNOR or IRIG-B codes

Its advantages include data transmission with self-correcting code, two-wire low-voltage cable for data and power, and maintenance-free, centralized time-distribution. It allows new slave clocks to be installed under power.

MOBALine is well-established in many different fields such as airports, industries, administration buildings, hospitals and schools.

Customized outdoor rail clocks, clock movements and master clocks

For railways, MOBATIME has developed specific outdoor clocks, exactly following the relevant customer specification regarding design, modular concept approach, reliability, maintainability, integration into electrical and / or IT infrastructure. Many railways use MOBATIME clocks, clock movements and master clocks.

Wireless time distribution (WTD) technology

This new dimension of time distribution technology offers:

• High flexibility for new time systems or the extension of existing clock systems in a convenient way
• Simple and economic installation, providing essential cost savings
• High reliability in time synchronization over distances of up to 200m
• The WTD transmitter can be easily integrated into plastic cable ducts
• Use of unlimited number of slave clocks within the range of a transmitter

WTD technology is available for a variety of applications. These include low-cost wireless installation for small clock systems in historic buildings under monument protection; simple retrofitting of existing clock systems in schools; and extension of existing wired clock systems in buildings and open-plan offices.
