The SkyScan Atomic Clock automatically sets itself to the correct time and date by receiving and decoding a radio signal with its internal receiver.
It ensures daily accuracy to the fraction of a second by refreshing the signal every day.
HOW IT WORKS:
The international standard for timekeeping and the official national timepiece, the U.S. Atomic Clock is accurate to ten billionths of a second per day. This clock, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado, is an electronic device that measures time by counting Cesium atom oscillations. Cesium atomic clocks are extremely stable and are unaffected by factors such as temperature, pressure, or humidity.
Using a low frequency radio transmission from NIST, the U.S. Atomic Clock sends an accurate time signal across the continental United States. The SkyScan Atomic Clock is electronically tuned to the WWVB time signal from NIST, which is the very same frequency that is utilized by radio, T.V. stations, railroads, and NASA. Recent boosts to the signal strength have provided for improved reception, allowing this advanced timepiece to work in your home or office.
