DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen
near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of
approximately 1500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases,
there should be no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
After the outdoor transmitter reception is completed in initial setup, the DCF tower icon on the
clock display will start flashing. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio
signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower
becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed.
