The GPS-DCF Converter UTC± can be connected to a DCF77 signal input as an alter­native to a DCF77 antenna. The device receives global UTC via GPS and converts this
information into the DCF77 protocol.

The UTC offset at he installation location is set with DIP switches in the device. The
GPS-DCF Converter UTC± then outputs the local time to the timer. When set to MEZ
(Central European Time), the summer/winter time change will take place automati­cally.
