RADIO CONTROLLED BATTERY MOVEMENT FOR DIALS UP TO 800mm
The 192t movements are our go-to clock movements where battery power is required for medium to large clocks.
- Modular, state-of-the-art movement for indoor and outdoor clocks (Under Glass) (with or without illumination) up to Ø 80 cm.
- Suitable for hour and minutes.
- The movement comes with extended shaft as standard to allow for thicker dials (up to around 15mm) or for use with opaque and backlit dials.
- Must be fitted under glass if external.
- A MOBATIME movement - Guaranteed Swiss Quality
Full technical specification and dimension available within the manual (above on the related files tab) which is a generic manual for all four of the xx192t movements.
This radio controlled (MSF) version is frequently used where clients want an automated summer / winter time change but the site is unsuitable for GPS.
Using our GLIT lithium battery you can expect around 5 years life before battery replacement.
We also supply a transformer (GNT192) that can plug into the battery compartment of these movements if you do want to run them from mains electricity rather than the DD battery.
As with the other 192t movements you can use this movement as a controller to run (via cascade cable) up to three GBU192t slave movements.
Supplied with hour and minute collets to allow you to adapt your hands. Both hour and minute hands must be properly counter-balanced.
What is the MSF Signal?
The MSF radio signal is a dedicated standard-frequency and time broadcast that provides an accurate and reliable source of UK civil time. It is available 24 hours a day across the whole of the UK and beyond. The signal operates on a frequency of 60 kHz and carries a time and date code that can be received and decoded by a wide range of readily-available radio-controlled clocks.
How good is the MSF signal?
The MSF signal transmitted from Anthorn (in Cumbria, UK) provides a signal strength in excess of 100 microvolts per metre at a distance of 1000 km.
This level should be sufficient to allow the time and date code to be received without difficulty, and in all areas of the UK radio-controlled clocks have been found to synchronise correctly to the signal.
Difficulties receiving the MSF signal are generally due to a combination of factors. These include attenuation of the signal due to location of the antenna inside a building or close to power lines or other large metal structures, and background interference which may be from a local source such as an electric motor or a fluorescent tube.
If the movement is going inside a metal cased clock it is sometimes necessary to mount the MSF receiver on the outside of the case. If this is a concern then let us know and we can supply the movement with a special external receiver that has a longer cable.
Who are MOBATIME?
