Timekeeping Systems & Networks

Timekeeping and Clock Synchronisation Systems

Accurate timekeeping across a building, organisation or network often requires more than individual clocks. A timekeeping system provides a central and reliable time reference, allowing clocks and other connected equipment to remain synchronised automatically.

Grayson supplies equipment for a wide range of clock synchronisation and time distribution systems, including master clocks, network time servers, radio and GPS synchronisation receivers and signal distributors.

Master Clock Systems

A master clock system provides a central time reference from which compatible secondary or slave clocks can be controlled and synchronised.

Grayson's range includes master clocks for both straightforward installations and more complex clock networks. Depending on the system, master clocks can control conventional impulse clocks, digital and analogue slave clocks, signalling circuits and other connected equipment.

Automatic synchronisation can also be achieved using compatible radio or GPS time receivers, helping maintain accurate time and accommodate seasonal clock changes without regular manual adjustment.

Time Servers and Network Synchronisation

For IP-based networks, NTP time servers provide an accurate time source that can be distributed to compatible clocks, computers and other networked equipment.

Grayson supplies professional network time servers supporting technologies including NTP and PTP, allowing organisations to create reliable network time synchronisation systems for applications where accurate and consistent timing is essential.

These systems can be particularly valuable across large facilities, commercial organisations, financial environments, transport infrastructure, healthcare facilities and other sites where numerous devices need to share the same time reference.

GPS and Radio Time Synchronisation

An accurate external reference can be used to keep a master clock or wider timekeeping system synchronised automatically.

Our range includes GPS/GNSS and radio time receivers designed to provide precise reference signals to compatible equipment. These solutions can reduce the need for manual time correction and help ensure clocks remain consistently accurate throughout a system.

Time Signal Distribution

Larger or more complex installations may also require specialist time signal distributors to deliver timing information to multiple devices or systems.

We supply products from distributors supporting a variety of time signal formats, allowing timing information from a central source to be distributed reliably across compatible equipment.
