Airport time applications in air traffic control

A number of TFS’s clients supply subsystems for air traffic control applications that require parallel, serial or timecode inputs to generate time data.

TFS adopts a modular approach that allows these interfaces to be integrated either during the design stage of the subsystem or in the future.

Digital and analogue clocks for the aviation industry

TFS manufactures both analogue and digital clocks and time displays.

The M355 is an LED digital time display that is available in a four or six-digit format, which is suitable for indoor applications, where the time and/or date needs to be clearly presented.

Features of the M355 include:

• Choice of four or six-digit display
• Clear acrylic or toughened glass window
• Digit sizes available in 60mm / 100mm / 150mm / 200mm
• Excellent readability from high-intensity LED digits
• Red, green or yellow digit colour
• Serial or NTPv3 input
• Seven-segment, high-intensity LED or dot matrix
• Single or double-sided display

TFS’s M385 analogue clock combines contemporary design with a large variety of optional extras. The high-quality, cost-effective interface makes it simple to create customised clocks, depending on the customer’s requirements.

The M385 is available in a range of sizes, so it is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. For instance, smaller sizes make it suitable for small rooms such as waiting rooms and offices, while clocks with larger diameters can be applied in bigger spaces, including passenger terminals and concourses.

Features of the M385 include:

• Automatic ongoing calibration
• Automatically sets to correct time upon connection to input time signal
• Diameter: 300mm / 400mm / 500mm / 600mm / 800mm
