Description

1. Basic Introduction

Main functions of tower clocks

I Master clock and slave clock and controlling system, movements, clock,clock hands,mechanism,core and GPS are the main parts of the whole system.

II Travel time function: clock hands travelling is powered by master clock system with closed loop control, synchronous function enables the clock clocks are consistent with GPS time.

III GPS timing:the computer/controlling system are connected with the satellite by GPS signal receiver,it keeps on comparing&regulating the clock time with an accuracy of 0.01 seconds/day as tolerance.

IV Chime function,vast music/chime/songs can be stored in a MP3 SD card,which can be easily obtained/applied from memory.

V Illumination: Illumination is normally achieved by Philips led lights,with a variety different colors and effects. There are two lighting methods (optional):

① Inner panel lighting;

2

② The pointer and scale are all illuminated by LED light-emitting diodes, which have a long service life and can be continuously illuminated for more than 100,000 hours; the lighting effect is soft and beautiful, and the lighting The interval can be adjusted arbitrarily.

VI. Automatic time-tracking: in case of a sudden power-cut that stops the whole clock,the GPS and master clock shall wake up and automatically trace the standard time and bring the clock hands to right places without manual operation when power regains even after 6 months.

VII. Anti-interference:the whole system,hardware and software are designed with strong anti-interference ability,even under strong magnetic field,they can still work properly.

VIII. Power saving:Energy saving technology minimizes consumption of power.

. Maintenance Free:Complete sealing of mechanism system makes it possible that neither maintenanceor lubrication is needed, it is thus also free from corrosion/moisture, anti-shock, low noise, wear resistance, all these enable the whole clock for a life of over 35 years.

. Fault self-diagnosis: the whole clock is designed with automatic fault-finding system to remind/alarm to you at the earliest possible time so that correction can be carried out directly without delay.

XI. Security: Powered by 12V DC,100% free of any worry of power shock.

Q: What are the factors that determine the price of a tower clock?

▲  The choice of the clock face

▲ Number of clock faces: For example, one-faces and four-faces clocks, the cost of the clock face is about four times.

▲ Clock face diameter: The size of the clock face directly determines the amount of consumables for the clock face and the amount of consumables such as pointers, scales, and lighting arrangements.

▲ The material of the clock face: aluminum plate, PC plate, laminated glass, marble and other materials have large price differences, and the materials of pointers and scales are also very different.

▲ The function of the big clock: the more functions, the higher the cost.

▲ Basic function: travel time.

▲ Frequently selected additional functions: chime, illumination.

▲ General additional functions: GPS time calibration, fault self-diagnosis, online detection of travel time, etc.


Q: What are the most commonly used illumination methods for tower clocks?

▲ Translucent illumination of the clock plate: the entire clock plate is bright. The clock plate is generally made of a milky white light-transmitting PC board, and a fluorescent lamp is used behind the clock plate to let the light shine through.

▲ Pointer scale illumination: the pointer scale is bright. The pointer scale is made into a light box structure. Internally, LED light sources are generally used.

When the diameter of the clock dial is less than 2 meters, it is recommended that customers use the clock dial translucent luminous, and when the diameter is greater than 2.5 meters, it is recommended to use the pointer scale luminous. It can be flexibly mastered between 2 meters and 2.5 meters.

▲ Spotlight lighting: by lighting around the big clock, the entire disk surface is illuminated.


Q: How to better determine the diameter of the tower clock?

The diameter of the clock is determined according to the height of the building, generally in a ratio of ten to one. For example, if the building is ten meters high, the diameter of the bell is around 1 meter.


Q: What are the materials of the clock face of the tower clock?

▲ PC board: polycarbonate board, a plastic material similar to plexiglass, transparent, but much higher in strength than plexiglass, adding a layer of PC board between two layers of inorganic glass is bulletproof glass. And it has good aging resistance and can be used outdoors. Commonly used thickness is 3 to 5 mm. It is a common material for large clocks with light-transmitting illumination. Generally, the light-transmitting lighting clocks often use hollow PC boards---sunshine boards.

▲ Aluminum-plastic plate---also called plastic-aluminum plate. A layer of aluminum foil is applied on one side of the plastic plate, which is called single-sided aluminum-plastic plate. If both sides are covered with aluminum foil, it is called double-sided aluminum-plastic plate, and the double-sided plate is not easily deformed. Decorative material that can be used outdoors. The thickness is basically about 3 mm.

▲ Aluminum veneer: The aluminum veneer generally uses an aluminum alloy plate with a thickness of 2.5mm-5mm, and the thickness is determined according to the diameter of the clock face.

▲ Marble clock face: As a clock face, marble has solemn and generous advantages, but its disadvantages are difficult to construct.

▲ Special materials: According to customer requirements and different architectural styles, special materials can be selected to make the clock face.
