Introduction
This document covers the basics of getting the Model 1088B unpacked, installed and running. For
complete details covering the 1088B, please consult the operation manual available for download
from www.arbiter.com.
Unpacking
Several accessories are included with the clock inside the packing material. These accessories include
the GPS antenna (AS0087800), a 50-ft antenna cable assembly (CA0021315), two rack-mount ears
(AS0028200) and a quick setup guide (PD0052500). Handle the GPS antenna carefully, as it may
be damaged if dropped.
Attaching Rack-Mount Ears
Each rack-mount ear is attached with two M5 10 mm flat head screws; one rack-mount ear on
each side of the clock. To mount them, first remove the two pan head screws securing the clock
cover on one side of the clock. Place a rack mount ear against that side of the clock, as shown in
the diagram below. Insert the two screws on that side of the clock and tighten. Repeat with the
other rack mount ear on the opposite side.

Installing GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna included with the clock is designed to be threaded onto a piece of 3/4 in pipe
nipple. Follow these instructions to mount the antenna. Make sure to mount the antenna so that
it has a clear view of the sky in all directions of the compass.
1. Pass the antenna cable through the pipe nipple and attach the cable to the antenna. Tighten
by hand, and do not spin the antenna onto the cable connector, as it may damage the
antenna/cable connection.
2. Thread the pipe nipple into the base of the antenna and snug by hand.
NOTE: Mount screws through lower set of holes.
