View FAQs →Resources for Project Planning
Selecting a synchronized clock system involves several practical considerations. Before specifying equipment, it can be useful to review the characteristics of the installation and define the requirements of the project.
P-01
P-02
Time Source
Identify the available time reference, such as an existing network time service, satellite-based source or centralized clock system.
P-03
Communication Infrastructure
Review the communication infrastructure available at the installation site, including Ethernet, wireless networking or wired communication connections.
P-04
Power Availability
Determine how power will be provided at each clock location and whether existing infrastructure, such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), can support the selected configuration.
P-05
Display Requirements
Consider display size, viewing distance, time-only or time-and-date information, single-sided or double-sided configurations and other display requirements.
P-06
Installation Environment
Indoor and outdoor locations may require different clock configurations. Environmental conditions, mounting locations and visibility should be considered during project planning.
Knowledge for Better Clock Selection
A synchronized clock project can range from a small installation with several displays to a large deployment covering multiple areas or buildings.
Our resources are designed to help project managers, facility operators, distributors, system integrators, contractors and purchasing teams understand the factors that influence clock selection.
