    1.0 Description The PD-15RMi-C is a TTL Pulse Distribution Amplifier that provides distribution for 1 PPS signals. The PD-15RMi-C has three inputs which drive three distribution modules. Each module supplies five buffered outputs designed to drive low impedance loads and long 50 or 75 ohm cables.
  • Page 6: Safety And Preparation For Use

    Detaching the AC power cord is the only option of disconnecting the unit from the AC mains supply. Make sure you have access to the rear panel or provide an external accessible AC disconnect means for your PD-15RMi-C. DC Power...

    2.2 Instrument Safety and Preparation for Use 1 PPS Signals The 1 PPS signals to be distributed should conform to TTL specifications. Make sure you Only apply TTL level (0 to 5V) signals to the 1PPS INPUT Connector. Do not apply nega- tive voltages as they will damage the pulse distribution amplifier.
