New LED Time System Install

Advances in medicine and upgrading of hospital facilities are happening all the time and the upgrade and installation of a new PET MIR scanner at The Royal Free Hospital in Hamstead, is just one of the projects we have worked on this Year.

Our remit was to supply, Installation and commission a digital time system for the new suits, using 15 LED clocks with 57mm high RED seven segment characters, in an hour, minute and second’s format. The clocks are flush mounted into Bedhead panels and are all synchronised and powered by NTP PoE from a Timeserver, which in turn is linked to a GNSS satellite receiver head mounted on the roof, providing very accurate time keeping a season time changes.

Time Server solutions offer highly precise interfaces such as NTP, etc. with an advantage of precision in accuracy and traceability.

Time Servers are equipped with crystal oscillators to provide time, pulse, phase & frequency solutions supporting synchronization using Global Positioning System for a mid or large infrastructure network.

The use of independent NTP time servers is becoming increasingly important. The successful interaction of different complex systems in a network requires a precise and independent time base. With the use of a time server, you can always rely on an independent, evidence-proof time reference.

The LED clocks are used for real time monitoring of patients, during the procedures being undertaken and also have an option to be set as stopwatch operation if required.

The project is now complete and we were happy to be part of this upgrade.
