ENERAL INFORMATION 1 General information The 6875 radio-controlled clock is a universal GPS reception module with a highly accurate time reference developed for controlling industrial processes. The 6875 snap-in module for 35mm (DIN) track mounting is fitted with three PhotoMOS signal relays, an analogue and digital TTL output and up to four independent serial interfaces.
It is not absolutely necessary to enter set-up values. However, without initialisation it may be several hours before the first signals are received. For quick installation it is necessary to set the following set-up values in the GPS 6875 satellite controlled clock: •...

+Vin und -Vin on the connecting unit X1. The system is provided with a voltage of 18...72 VDC.. The internal voltage supply of the 6875 snap-in module is potential-free. It must be earthed on the rear side of the housing via the screw as labelled, in order to compensate the potential dif- ference between the ground potential of the housing and the earth.

4 Software 4.1 System requirements The hopf 6875 configuration software is for configuration of a hopf 6875 radio-controlled clock via a serial interface. The serial interface cable included is connected between the computer (at the free serial interface) and the radio-controlled clock (COM0).
UninstallerData (e.g. /opt/Hopf/6875/UninstallerData/Uninstall6875). 4.2.2 Start programme Windows After installation has been completed in the chosen directory (e.g. C:\rogramme\Hopf\6875) the configuration software can be started by selecting the appropriate link (e.g. Start Programme Hopf Hopf 6875).
If there are any questions or installation problems please contact the support team at Ruprecht & Partner OEG under the e-mail address: support-hopf@rdcs.at Updated versions can be found on the website of Ruprecht & Partner OEG: http://www.rdcs.at/ GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00 Page 13...
The hopf 6875 configuration software is for convenient configuration of a hopf radio-controlled clock 6875 via an RS232 interface. All the parameters of the radio-controlled clock can be dis- played or set via a graphic user interface. These are divided into categories (e.g. time zone, changeover time, serial parameters, etc.).
This section makes it possible to save a complete configuration of a radio-controlled clock in a configuration file (text file) or to load down from a configuration file and transmit to the radio- controlled clock. GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00 Page 15...

To set the changeover times the following information is required: • first, second, third, fourth or last day of the week in the month • day of the week • month • time in hours and minutes GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00 Page 19...
For accelerated synchronization the GPS radio-controlled clock requires only the entry of the approximate location. For the exact position shown in the above example the following entry would suffice: North 50°00,0000 East 007°00,0000 Page 20 GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00...
In many cases it is possible to mount the antenna indoors near the window (short cable lengths, no lightning protection). If, in this mode, 4 satellites are available the evaluation jumps automatically to GPS reception mode 3D and calculates the exact position. GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00 Page 21...

In addition the output of a second pulse is required at the 2nd RS232 serial interface. The pulse width is 10 msec. The falling edge is synchronized to the second mark. The pulse must be configured separately (e.g. in 6875: IMP1 as cyclical output every second, pulse length 10 msec; emit IMP1 to COM1 as RS232).
