INTRODUCTION

The Model 1500E

Using the same technology NASA employs to tell time, the Model 1500E wirelessly synchronizes with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. In addition to confirming the time daily, the 1500E automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time. No wires, no worries, and no more excuses for being late.

About Your Atomic Clock

In addition to a regular quartz time clock, the Model 1500E contains an antenna and a microchip. The antenna receives the official time signal from the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology and the microchip translates the time signal and adjusts the time display to the correct time. The Model 1500E receives a 60-kilohertz, low frequency AM radio signal from the WWVB radio station maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST, using its atomic clock, is the official timekeeper for the US and is located in Boulder, Colorado. The Model 1500E will work anywhere it can receive the WWVB signal from the NIST. This signal is broadcast to reach across the continental US and into parts of Canada and Mexico.
