Casio Wave Ceptor

Casio Wave Ceptor is Casio's watch radio line. Ceptor clock waves set themselves to the right time by receiving time signals from various government time services around the world. These signals transmit the time measured by an atomic clock accurately for one second in millions of years; by synchronizing daily with signals, the Wave Ceptor watch achieves high accuracy, running with accuracy of quartz timing accuracy between synchronization. Some radio watches, including some Wave Ceptors, are solar-powered, powered by rechargeable batteries with a lifespan of about 10 years; Such hours should save the perfect time for about ten years without any adjustments. Some models have full digital display; the other has the hand to show the time.

Radio controlled watches do not require timing, date, or summer time; they try to sync automatically at least once every 24 hours, usually in the middle of the night. Ceptors The free-running waves, like other commercial quartz watches, are usually accurate to more than 15 seconds per month; daily synchronization ensures 500 ms accuracy per day. Long-distance watches from the time signal transmitter even within the stated range may not be able to receive the signal.

The number of receivers that can be adjusted by the watch varies according to the clock model; Recent watches can tune in to multiple signals around the world. In Europe, the acceptance range is claimed to be about 1,500 kilometers.

Location

Casio watches synchronize to radio timing signals from one or more of the six low frequency time signal transmitters. 60kHz signals from different transmitters are not compatible with each other; watches designed for WWVB can not accept MSF.

Japanese

The watch can receive signals from two JJY transmitters:

40kHz signal from Mount Otakadoya, near Fukushima ( Ohtakadoyayama ).

60KHz signal from Haganeyama Transmitter in Mount Hagane ( Haganeyama ).

China

The watch receives 68kHz signal from BPC in Shangqiu.

United States

The watch receives a 60kHz signal from WWVB at Fort Collins.

United Kingdom

Watches receive 60kHz MSF at Anthorn.

Jerman

Watches receive DCF77 77.5kHz in Mainflingen.

For example, Casio Wave Ceptors using 3353 and 3354 modules, such as WVA-440, can set signals from DCF77 (Germany) and MSF (UK). Both submodels use the same electronic module, but with the soldered jumper choose the first preferential tuning to DCF77, or to MSF. This is the default behavior after the factory reset; users can choose to use one of two transmitters with one of the modules, although this limit is used while traveling in Europe.

Multi-Band 6

Radio clocks that can tune into all six signals are known as multi-band watches. Some of the Casio G-Shock watches are multi-band 6. There are predecessors with the Multi-Band 5, less Chinese signals.

Other radio watches

Japanese manufacturers Seiko and Citizen Watch, and German manufacturer Junghans, also make radio-controlled watches.
