Configuring Relay Mode Jumpers The Model 1094B has one set of Form C relay contacts that may be configured to alarm (or trip) for a Fault, for an Out-Of-Lock condition, or according to the Programmable Pulse A function. By default, the relay is connected to indicate an unlocked condition.
Dielectric strength measured at 500 V for 1 minute with same polarity. Configuring Communication Port Jumpers The Model 1094B has two communication ports (COM1 and COM2) that can provide both RS- 232C and RS-485 levels. Alternately, these ports may be configured to provide a programmable pulse output and IRIG-B at RS-485 levels.
Setting Internal Jumpers Configuring Event Input Jumpers The Model 1094B has one Event Input function that has two modes: (1) Event Capture, and (2) 1-PPS Deviation measurement. Events may be recorded from two connection points: (1) the dedicated event input connector, and (2) either COM1 or COM2. Using the dedicated Event Panel connector, you can set the event input voltage level to one of three ranges: 5 to 12 Vdc, 24 to 48 Vdc, or 120 to 240 Vdc.

The Setup Menus Set DST/Summer Time Daylight Saving and Summer Time are hereafter referred to as DST. These settings follow imme- diately after setting the Local Offset, and are actually part of the Local Offset main menu. DST settings are normally used to advance and retard the time once each year. The menus in this section allow you to customize the clock time for your region in 15 minute increments over a plus or minus 12-hour interval.
Figure 7.7: Out-of-Lock Time Setup Set Backlight The backlight function in the Model 1094B can be set to operate in three modes: Always ON, Always OFF and Automatic Shutoff (AUTO). AUTO is the most recommended setting, which causes the backlight to turn off automatically after period of 30 seconds of inactivity. See Figure 7.8.
For the cable supplied with the Model 1094B, calculate the delay by multiplying the the length of the cable (in feet) by 1.19 nanoseconds per foot. The result of this calculation will be in nanoseconds, and you can enter in the whole part of this number into the 1094B. See Figure 7.9.
Programmable Pulse B has all of the features of Programmable Pulse A, but also includes: Frequency Mode, allows the 1094B to produce a square wave on the chosen port, from 1 to 1000 pulses per second, 50 percent duty cycle.
The Setup Menus 7.9.4 Programmable Pulse A or B Preliminary Setup Except for two additional modes with Programmable Pulse B (i.e. Frequency Mode and Aux IRIG Mode), setting up the preliminary information for Programmable Pulse A and B is the same and will be covered here.
7.9 Set Programmable Pulse A and B 7.9.6 Setting the Pulse-Per-Minute Mode Use the Pulse-per-Minute mode to produce a pulse every minute, at the set number of seconds (and fractional seconds) after the top of the minute. See Figure 7.12. Figure 7.12: Programmable Pulse Setup, Pulse Per Minute Note: Pulse width can be set in 10 millisecond increments from 0.01 to 59.99 seconds, otherwise it is set to 0.01.
The Setup Menus 7.9.8 Setting the Pulse-Per-Day Mode Use the Pulse-Per-Day mode to produce one pulse each day at the set number of seconds (and fractional seconds) after midnight. See Figure 7.14. Figure 7.14: Programmable Pulse Setup, Pulse-Per-Day Mode Note: Pulse width can be set in 10 millisecond increments from 0.01 to 600 seconds. 7.9.9 Setting the Single-Trigger Mode Use the Single Trigger mode to trigger a pulse once per year at a specific day of the year and time...
7.9 Set Programmable Pulse A and B 7.9.10 Setting the Slow-Code Mode Use the Slow-Code mode to trigger a pulse normally defined as follows: the output voltage is normally held high and it will go low for 2 seconds on the minute, 4 seconds on the hour and 6 seconds on the day.
Setting the Aux IRIG Mode, Programmable Pulse B The Model 1094B allows you to set up two different forms of the unmodulated IRIG-B time code. For example, one group of relays may require UTC time, and others may require the Local time.
IEEE 1344 extension ON or OFF in either mode. In the Model 1094B, IRIG-B is an electronic time code, synchronized to the GPS, that is transmitted each second. The four choices are (1) setting the time zone to UTC or Local, and (2) having the IEEE-1344 extension turned ON or OFF.

7.12 Set Event/Deviation The event inputs are used to time a signal received by the Model 1094B based on the internal time base synchronized to the GPS. The accuracy of these timed events are within a microsecond with a resolution of 0.1 microsecond. See Figure 7.22.
Timing Output Description The rear panel of the Model 1094B includes a number of different types of connectors as illustrated in Figure 8.1. Starting from the right-hand side, there is a power inlet connector, a GPS antenna connector, one event input connector, two DB-9 serial connectors, one SPDT relay connector and four timing outputs.
8.2 Timing Output Description Figure 8.1: Rear Panel Description Pulse; analog signals include modulated IRIG-B. Two of the outputs (3 and 4) can also source an independent instance of IRIG-B or frequency of from 1 to 1000 pulses per second. Finally, each digital output can be configured as either 5 Volt CMOS/level shift, or 300 Volt FET.
The Model 1094B transmits Format B with four variations as seen in Table 8.2. Note that with the newer IRIG Standard 200-04, two of the designations have changed: the older B000 has become B004 and B120 has become B124.
Consult your equipment manual to determine if the IEEE 1344 feature should be turned ON in the Model 1094B. To view details of the IEEE Std 1344-1995, please check with the IEEE.
With this setting you can perform high-level switching at any of the four timing outputs, setting the 1094B to trigger a pulse at the required time of day or time interval. Connect a voltage of up to 300 volts and pull down a signal with the Open Drain 300-Volt FET. Remember to connect the FET with suitable protection against overvoltage transients and over current conditions.
8.4.3 Synchronizing Multiple Devices From One Masterclock Output In many installations, master clock signals (e.g. the 1094B) are “fanned out” to a number of devices. This method makes more efficient use of the clock synchronizing capability since the clock drivers are designed to handle multiple loads.
8.4.4 Connecting Unmodulated IRIG-B To drive multiple loads from a single 1094B timing output, make sure they are wired in parallel. Some call this “daisy-chaining”, however the idea is to drive all of these loads in parallel from the single output. It is much simpler to connect loads to unmodulated IRIG-B than for modulated.
8.4 Connecting Outputs 8.4.6 Wire Losses Another factor affecting the available voltage is the resistive losses through the cabling. Wire has a certain resistivity associated with it that is determined by its metallic composition, and resistance determined by the diameter and length. For example, single-strand, 22 AWG (bare, enamel-coated) copper wire has a resistance of approximately 16.2 ohms per 1000 feet.
Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses Since electromagnetic waves travel slower through any cable, cable manufacturers normally specify cable with a velocity factor (VF), which is a percentage of the speed of light in free space, and characteristic of the specific cable. The Velocity Factor for the RG-6 cabling used by Arbiter Systems for GPS antenna connections, is about 83% of C.
Viewing the Fault Status If the Model 1094B executes a fault due to one of the conditions listed above, it will display the Clock Status fault condition on the LCD and illuminate the Fault LED. The fault status will also be available using the Event Status commands through either of the serial communications ports.
No Fault and Power On – Left to Center pin shorted, Center to Right pin open. Introduction to Event Inputs This section should provide more detail on the operation of the event inputs on the 1094B. To configure the event capture settings, see Section 5.5, Configuring Event Input Jumpers, and Sec- tion 7.12, Set Event/Deviation.
Section 10.3.5. 9.7.5 Configuring Event/Deviation Operation There are two methods for configuring the Model 1094B for either event recording or 1 PPS devia- tion measurement: (1) through the front panel interface, and (2) through COM1 or COM2 RS-232 serial ports.
Use the m,nEV command to configure the Event/Deviation function to either event recording or 1 PPS deviation measurement. For example, “0ev” configures the 1094B to the Event Mode, and “1ev” configures the 1094B to the Deviation Mode. For command reference, see Section 10.3.5.
E R=004 S=026 This tells you that (1) the 1094B is set for Event recording, (2) the current “read” pointer is at event record 004 (when using the EV command), and (3) that there have been 26 records written to the event buffer.
Page 92
Type or send “0,123ev” or “1,123ev” to immediately clear all events stored in the event buffer. See Section 10.3.5. Clearing Events Using the 1094 Utility Using the 1094 Utility, first connect to the Model 1094B and select Unit > Clear Events, or click the Clear Events button. See Section 6.6.4.
10.1 Introduction The Model 1094B has two RS-232/485 ports, called COM1 and COM2. COM1 combines the two functions of RS-232 and RS-485 at one DB9M connector (J5), and COM2 combines the two functions of RS-232 and RS-485 in a separate DB9M connector (J7). The RS-232 ports do not use flow control, and the RS-485 ports function in transmit only mode.
Configuring Custom Broadcast Strings The Model 1094B has two custom strings (A and B) available for you to configure. Use the @@A. . . or @@B. . . to define and install the new string. Three elements are available for building up a custom string: characters, true/false conditions and ordinal conditions.
10.3 Command Set Custom String Command Command: @@A . . . , @@B . . . Use @@A . . . to create a Channel A broadcast, and @@B . . . to create a Channel B broadcast string. This includes start of header (Hex 01), time, date, carriage-return, and other required features. In a sense, it allows you to create a custom broadcast string.

Using a Surge Arrester Introduction These instructions cover the installation of the Arbiter Systems Model AS0094500, Surge Arrester. The AS0094500 performs two basic functions: 1. Provides a solid and reliable grounding point for the antenna system connected to a GPS receiver;...
Using a Surge Arrester 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.
Appendix C Statement of Compliance Introduction The following page is a statement of compliance that includes Model 1094B.

Arbiter Systems does not supply a type test certificate as requested for G.P.S. systems as the accuracy is a function of the G.P.S. system and not of the receiver. However we (Arbiter) hereby certify that this equipment conforms to all Arbiter Systems Incorporated specifications for...
Use this method with applications when it is acceptable to connect the negative side of the FET to the 1094B chassis ground. This application could also be used with a periodic programmable pulse (e.g. 1 Pulse Per Minute) for timing instead of event logging.
This limits the FET current to approximately 10 milliamperes. Configure the Model 1094B by setting up for a negative Pulse Polarity so that the FET is turned on and the voltage Logger + side is held low. When the pulse occurs, the FET will turn off and the + line will rise to the battery voltage and return to zero when the pulse clears.
As mentioned in the introduction, some applications may require a positive ground, or method to isolate the recorder or event logger from the Model 1094B. To accomplish this, it is simple to place a small switching relay between the clock output and the event logger. Since the application requires a positive ground, the small relay isolates the clock from the event logger.
