NTP Server

NTP Time Server LANTIME

There is often the need to provide synchronised time information for various network participants. This is especially important in the field of power analysers because you want to compare voltage events and transients for various measuring points with each other. The measuring instruments must have the same clock setting if the events are to be clearly allocated. This means that any inaccuracies in the internal instrument clocks must be balanced out.

This is where so-called time or NTP servers are used. They always provide precise time information thanks to the GPS antenna and wireless controls and can supply this informations to the complete LAN network. LANTIME synchronises all systems which are either NTP or SNTP compatible. This means that the UMG 507 (E/EP), UMG 510 and UMG 604 (E/EP) of Janitza electronics® GmbH can be set to maintain a common time.

Installation

The corresponding GPSANT antenna and various accessories are part of the standard delivery. It can be installed 300m away from the LANTIME and in a position from which the most amount of unrestricted sky is available (e.g. roof of a house).
