Lot Essay
Model LR/LS is equipped with an electronic memory which, during a sector breakdown, memorises the second and minute impulses and does not transmit them to a time distribution network. Therefore, these models are recommended for tower clocks and all other installations for which impulse memorisation is indispensable and a possible mains failure causing a momentary interruption in the time distribution would not be problematic.
