Overview
The LINDY Precision Clock can receive the time signal up to 1,500
kilometers from the transmitter at Rugby in the UK, and it is accurate to
one second in 1 million years. The signal is taken from the National
Physical Lab transmitted to MFS Rugby and then transmitted to your
PC or Server. Your PC / Server Clock time is updated automatically
without the need for any user intervention, including British Summer
Time changes. It is the perfect solution for Systems, which require
precise time information. The timing signal can be received in the UK
and parts of Central Europe.

Troubleshooting
LINDY Precision Clock General Information
If you start to loose the signal, make sure no electrical equipment is
presently near or ensure that the LINDY Precision Clock has not been
tampered with.
Ensure that the programme is still running in the background. This you
will be able to see in the right hand corner of your task bar. If the
LINDY Precision Clock logo is not there then restart the programme,
ensure that the correct settings are active and then minimise the main
window.
Your PC / Server must have an RS-232 Serial (9 Way D) interface.
The LINDY Precision Clock must be clear of all electrical devices.
Compatible with operating systems, Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 / NT4.
The software runs continuously in the background.
No external power needed as the LINDY Precision Clock takes the
power from the RS-232 Serial interface.
Installation and Use
Please follow the installation instructions for the LINDY Precision Clock
exactly, this will then ensure a trouble free installation and no signal
problems. Ensure that there are serial ports available for use with the
LINDY Precision Clock. If your PC only has a 25 Way D interface
available, then you will be able to purchase an adapter from your dealer
or with LINDY UK. (LINDY Art.Nr. 70030)
Ensure that when trying to receive a signal, the LINDY Precision Clock
is clear of any electrical devices (including monitors) as the interference
will effect the signal results. Once an optimal signal is obtained secure
the LINDY Precision Clock firmly.
