The clock provides the following pulses to drive slave clocks 1 sec alternating, 30 sec, 1 min , 1 hour, 24 hr, 15 min chime of quarter hours, hourly chime of hours

Primary display of time in hours, minutes & seconds are displayed on 1" (26mm) green LED 7 segment displays

Secondary 4x20 I2C LCD display is used to display time & date, fast or slow seconds, summer winter correction, display brightness, sync information, signal quality, auto tune'd frequency, auto tuned quartz accuracy and summer winter time mode

The primary and secondary displays are auto dimmed using an LDR and Pulse Width Modulation

The primary and secondary displays are shutdown during daytime and are activated by Passive Infrared detection when the clock detects someone entering the room

Manually triggered automatic Summer/Winter time correction of 30 second slave clocks

Bluetooth link for programming, clock pulse status etc

Auto leap second adjustment of 30 second slave and 1 second slave clocks
