FAQs
Q. Why should I purchase clocks from BRG Precision Products?
A. BRG Precision Products, Inc. was the world's first company to manufacture and sell GPS controlled wireless clock systems. BRG has
many years of experience and a wide customer base, and manufactures and sells thousands of clock configurations, worldwide. Our customer
base includes every branch of the U.S. Government from the CIA to the USDA, every U.S. Military installation worldwide, the Motion
Picture and Television industry, Hospitals, Universities, and most Fortune 1000 companies. BRG has the best value. Simply compare our
prices against competing products and find out for yourself. Be sure to include the competitor's options that are standard in BRG clock
systems.
Q. How does the cost of a wireless clock system compare to a wired system?
A. A wireless clock system eliminates expensive sync wire. The installation of sync wire can often cost more than the clock system.
Additionally, a BRG Wireless clock system is the best value on the market. High volume coupled with smart manufacturing techniques
allows BRG to offer the best valued wireless clock system available anywhere.
Q. How does your wireless clock system compare with competing products?
A. BRG selected an optimum frequency range for transmission indoors. BRG transmitters use a full 5 watts, while some competing systems
use unlicensed, low power transmitters. Some competitors only offer an alarm scheduler and control software as an expensive option.
Every BRG Wireless master clock includes a full featured alarm scheduler and alarm output. In addition, BRG digital secondary clocks may
optionally incorporate alarm output. While some competing products offer only GPS time receivers, BRG offers many other time receivers
in addition to GPS, including CDMA (cell towers), Ethernet (Network Time Protocol), PC serial connection, IRIG-B (missile and space),
SMPTE (motion picture and television protocol), Power Line time receivers, and more.
Q. I understand all clocks will display the same time, but will it be the correct time?
A. Whether the time sync receiver uses GPS, CDMA, or Ethernet; ultimately, the clock system will receive time from the U.S. Atomic Time
Standard. All clocks will display the same, correct time. Even though the system clocks can operate accurately for long periods of time
in stand alone mode, the master clock transmits time sync data many times throughout the day. No more changing clocks manually between
daylight saving and standard time!
Q. How long will the batteries last in the battery powered analog clocks?
A. While some competing companies use Alkaline batteries, we include premium Lithium batteries with our clocks. The shelf life of
Lithium batteries is approximately 10 years, with an operational life of about five years. Of course, all BRG clocks are available in AC
power configurations.
Q. I don't want to use batteries, do you have AC powered clocks?
A. BRG Wireless manufactures thousands of LED digital clock configurations that utilized AC power line. LED digital clocks produce light
so they can be seen at a greater distance than an analog clock of the same size. Also, the LED display can be expected to last 20-30
years. Analog clocks can also be configured to run off of AC power as well.
Q. How easy is it to install a wireless clock system?
A. First, any wireless system is far easier than installing a wired clock system. But, while some competitors will say it is extremely easy, the degree of difficulty is subjective and dependent upon the specific system to be installed. Electricians or maintenance staff will have no problem installing any part of the system. In fact, the battery powered analog system clock installation amounts to simply hanging them on the wall. That's it! Some transmitter clocks are just as easy to install, such as those that incorporate cell tower time receivers or an Ethernet interface. GPS transmitter clocks require the time receiver antenna to be mounted outdoors or in a window so that it has a "view of the sky". As soon as power is applied to the master clock, it begins synchronizing the secondary clocks.
