The Setup Menus Setting the Event/Deviation Modes (A or B) Use the Event/Deviation Mode to capture an event at J3 and/or J4; alternatively use the main RS-232C port for Event A. Conﬁgure for either event timing (up to 200 stored events per channel), or one pulse-per-second (1 PPS) deviation, including sigma (see Section 8.2.3 for details on the principle of deviation measurement).

6.9 Setting the Event/Deviation Modes (A or B) 6.9.1 Arming the Event Input When using J3 or J4, note that the event function continually arms itself for the next event until the buﬀer is full. When using the RS-232C port as the input, you must arm the event function for each event from the front panel or by using the AR command.

Page 77: Timing, Irig-B And Pulses
Chapter 7 Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses Introduction This section should help you with understanding, choosing and connecting the correct outputs from the Model 1088B series clocks to synchronize equipment, such as protective relays. It should also answer some basic questions, such as: What are the diﬀerent types of IRIG-B, and how are they diﬀerent? How do you connect multiple devices to one timing output? How far can you transmit timing signals?
Page 78: Timing Output Description
Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses Timing Output Description When viewing the rear panel of the Model 1088B, you will see that there are a number of diﬀerent types of connectors as illustrated in Figure 7.1. Generally, there is a power inlet connector, a GPS antenna connector, one DB-9 serial connectors, a series of four connector plugs and one option plate.
Page 79: Output Signal Description
Table 7.1: Drive Current vs. Voltage Output Signal Description Model 1088A/B can provide twenty diﬀerent digital signals and two analog signals that are listed in Table 5.2. With an option card installed in Slot A or B, all of these signals are available at the option card as well;...
Page 80: Modulated And Unmodulated Irig-B
Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses 7.3.2 Modulated and Unmodulated IRIG-B Figure 7.2 illustrates the primary diﬀerences between modulated and unmodulated IRIG-B. You will notice that the while modulated IRIG-B is distinctive because of the 1 kHz sinewave carrier, it is similar to unmodulated IRIG-B since the peak-to-peak values of the carrier follow the same form as the digital waveform, where the information is contained.

It is a simple task to compute the available output voltage (Vpp) with a known current.

Page 85: Relay Contacts And Event Inputs
Chapter 8 Relay Contacts and Event Inputs Relay Contacts, Model 1088B can supply relay contacts through installation of an optional accessory. Option 19 provides one Form C (SPDT) set of contacts that can be used for the Out-of-Lock function. Option 29 provides four additional timing outputs and has two solid-state relays available with output multiple functions and +25/50 Vdc supplies.
Page 86: Deviation Measurement
Relay Contacts and Event Inputs 8.2.3 Deviation Measurement Both Channel A and B inputs can also be conﬁgured to display measured event times as 1 pulse- per-second (1 PPS) deviation measurements. The intended purpose of the deviation measurement function is to allow comparison of an external 1–PPS signal to the clock’s internal 1–PPS signal. The clock determines the mean time diﬀerence between the two signals, which can be displayed on the front panel or read via the RS-232 Interface.

Page 88: Event Trapping Setup
Relay Contacts and Event Inputs To perform event trapping via the RS-232C interface, the circuit must ﬁrst be ARMED; that is, made ready to receive an event trigger. Only one event may be captured after every arming, but the events are stored sequentially in the event buﬀer in exactly the same manner as the normal event time mode, thereby allowing up to 200 events to be recorded.
Page 89: Serial Communication And Command Set
Chapter 9 Serial Communication and Command Introduction The Model 1088B has one main RS-232C port, and one optional RS-232C port (Option 17A). These are labeled RS-232C and Option RS-232C. When viewing the rear panel, the main port is nearest the antenna connector and the optional port is to the left of the Standard I/O connectors. It is important to note that neither the standard RS-232, nor the Option RS-232C port have an RS-485 function and neither RS-232C ports use ﬂow control.
Page 90 Serial Communication and Command Set When a command requests information from a clock, it returns the most current data available. Numeric data is returned as an ASCII string of numeric characters, with leading sign and embedded decimal point as needed. Strings are normally terminated with carriage return and line feed char- acters, however sometimes this is not the case.

Using Surge Arresters If grounding via the ground-wire screw connection, use the largest possible gauge wire, with the shortest possible ground path. Hole diameter allows up to 8 AWG wire (0.129 in or 3.26 mm). This wire should be as short as possible, and connected to a good earth ground. Alternately, the AS0094500 could be mounted directly to a well-grounded plate within the facility.
