General description
Westerstrand Marine Master Clock is the ideal solution for distribution of both Local and UTC time on board
ships.
The Master Clock is equipped with several outputs and inputs for control of Slave Clocks as well as distribution
of time to computers and other equipment needing correct time. The four Slave Clock outputs can be
individually programmed for different types of clocks. External radio receivers / time synchronisation sources
can be connected when higher accuracy is needed.

For control and regulation of various energy consumers such as electrical striking plates, buzzers for pause
signalling etc, the master Clock has a built in yearly programmer with two relay outputs.

The Master Clock is equipped with 10 buttons and a 2 x 16 character LCD. To facilitate the change of time zone
two of the buttons are dedicated for this purpose. A light dimmer makes it possible to adjust the background
illumination to the surrounding light level.

The front mounted power switch is an all pole switch and controls both AC and DC power.
Position IN = Power ON.
Position OUT = Power OFF.

Installation
The Marine Master Clock is intended for stand, cabinet, wall or desk mounting.

1. Mount the Master Clock.

2. Make sure that all analogue slave clocks shows the same time, for instance 12.00.
4. Before connecting the slave clock lines, check the wires for short circuit, faulty connections etc.
5. Connect the slave clock lines.
6. Connect the signal line/lines (to relay contacts).
7. NOTE! For connection of signals etc., mixed voltages must not be used.
Therefore, choose either 230VAC or, for example 24VAC for connection to the relays.
8. Connect, if included, other accessories/options such as radio synchronisation, RS232 etc.
9. Connect the supply voltage and press the power switch.
10. Proceed to “Start up procedure” page 9.

Week Program & Date Program

Using these two functions, programming of the outputs is made.

Concept description
Program A "program" refers to programming an output to a certain time. The word program
represents a single time event and several programs are defined as a group of
programs.
For example: output 2 switches on every working day (Monday-Friday) at 8.00.

Week program A week program is a program, which is repeated every week. You can for each
program choose for which days of the week it shall be valid:
Individual or block programming.
M = Monday
T = Tuesday
W = Wednesday
T = Thursday
F = Friday
S = Saturday
S = Sunday

Date program A date program is a program, which is valid for a specific date.

Group A group of programs, signal events.

Type of signals There are some different kinds of signals, depending on how the relay output is to
be used.

ON/OFF Is used when a longer lasting switching ON is required, e.g. for controlling fans,
door locks, lighting etc.

01s Is used when a short pulse is required, e.g. for bells/buzzers.

Pulse duration selectable from 1-99 seconds.

Astr. Astr. (Twilight) is a function which closes/opens a predestined relay at sunrise

resp. sunset. Which day and month of the year it is, and where the Time Central
programmer is located geographically, define the time of the sunrise resp. sunset.
The sunrise resp. sunset are calculated in the software of the Y8 module.
The geographic position of the Time Central is entered at starting up.
A map indicating latitude (°north) and longitude (°east) is enclosed.

Mask A program that is repeated f. ex every hour is easily entered by the use of mask
program.
XX.15.00 ; the program is repeated every hour att minute 15.
08.XX.00 ; the program is repeated every minute between 08.00 and 09.00.
XX.XX.00 ; The program is repeated every minute.

Protocol 2

The message has length 20 bytes according to:

STX F G W 20 YY MM DD HH MM SS ETX BCC

F - Flag bits
7 =0
6 =1
5 =0
4 =0 Winter time, =1 summer time
3 =1 Synced from Radio source, e.g. DCF77
2 =1 Synched from timeserver

1 0 Type of time
OFF OFF UTC
OFF ON LOC
ON OFF NOR

Example:
Assume wintertime time, synched from radio source, synchronized from timeserver, local time:
Bits 6, 3, 2 and 0 are set: 0100 1101 = 4Dh = 'M'

G - UTC offset during wintertime from letter 'P' in 1/2 hour steps.
Example:
Germany 2 x 1/2 = 1 hour, so 'P'+2 = 'R'

W Weekday '1' Monday .. '7' Sunday

YY Year '00'..'99'

Setup NMEA LT

This function is valid only if the Master Clock is synchronised from an external NMEA source. Special function
sync. source must be set to NMEA RS485 or NMEA RS232.
With this function it can be selected if the Master Clock should use the Local Time (LT) information included in
the NMEA time message. The Master Clocks LT will be set to the nearest time with respect to the default value
entered in the special function DEFAULT LT ADJ.

Example:
DEFAULT LT ADJ is set to 20 minutes. Local Time is 15:30.

1. Received LT is changed 5 minutes to 15:35, which is closer to 15:30 than 15:50;

Master Clock LT will stay on 15:30.

2. Received LT is changed 10 minutes to 15:40, which is in the middle of 15:30 and 15:50;
Master Clock LT will stay on 15:30.

3. Received LT is changed 15 minutes to 15:45, which is closer to 15:50 than 15:30;

Master Clock LT will change 20 minutes to 15:50.

Default setting is NO, which means that the Local Time information is not used.

Use the procedure below to change the setting.

Fault tracing
The display is blank

A. The green LED “POWER” is light?

A1. No.
A1A. Check the supply voltage.
A1B. Power supply wires connected correctly?

A2. Yes.
A2A. Restart the master clock by switching the supply voltage off and on.

After starting up the master clock, no impulses appear (to correct the slave clocks).

B1. The master clock awaits the time shown by the slave clocks. Impulses will be distributed when correct
time = the time shown by the slave clocks.

Relay outputs are programmed but nothing happens.

C1. The switch on the front panel is in position 0. Correct position is A.

C2. Check that the output is working when the switch is in position 1.

C3. Different program types have different priority. E.g. a programmed date program overrides a signal
point in a week program.
Priority order (1=highest, 3=lowest):
1) Date program 2) Group 3) Week program

Alarm messages

D1. “Short circuit”

Excessive load on the impulse output. Check the slave clock wiring. Impulses are stored (memorised)
during the alarm. When the fault is fixed, all the stored impulses are distributed by rapid impulsing.

D2. “Memory full”

The master clock is out of memory, probably due to incorrect programming. Use week program for
repetitive signals or group for a certain period. See the programming instructions in this manual.
