The running stability of the controlling frequency standard is guaranteed to deviate no more than 1x10 E-13 per week from the set point. That means that hopf radio clocks have a running deviation of only 1 second in 300.000 years.

31a/c - resp. after switching on the mains voltage for system 6000). A hopf DCF77 antenna must be connected to the BNC-connector in case of clocks with radio receiver (see.pt.5). Immediately after switch-on the buffered back-up clock is read out. If the buffer voltage has dropped too low to read valid data from the chip, the clock displays 0 for all digits.
The reception of the time signal via DCF77 is similar to a serial data transmission in bit mode. One bit is emitted every second. After one minute the time can be decoded. hopf radio clocks need - for safety reasons, two consecutive faultless time data strings to accept the time.
