Catalog description

Meade Atomic Time Update Module for ETX-PE and LX90 LNT, part number MEAD089, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $25.00, down from a high of $41.00.

The Atomic Time Update Module (ATUM) for Meade ETX Premier and LX-90 Series telescopes will keep you current - exactly. Although the built-in high-precision clock that comes with ETX-PE and LX-90LNT telescopes comes factory set to NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) time it needs to be updated once in a while. To do that you can purchase the Atomic Time Update Module. Itll tune into the signal from the NIST atomic clock in Fort Collins CO and keep your telescopes clock precisely on time.

Simply plug the Atomic Time Module into the ATUM Port on the side of your LNT Module. Follow the simple instructions to set up your AutoStar hand controler and your telescope will have perfect time!

Important Note: The NIST broadcast is only available to users in North America with the exception of some parts of Canada and Alaska. For more information about broadcast coverage go to: www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvbcoverage.htm
