Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls The common purpose for the manual entry controls at the bottom of the Timing > Input Control window, see Figure 6-5, is to provide a method to enable the S6xx to become aware of time-related status information in scenarios where ther currently is no timing input capable of providing that status.

Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls A simple example of this would be if the only available time input is an IRIG1344 and the S6xx is supporting a PTP (IEEE-1588) Master function. Since the IRIG input provides UTC timescale and PTP uses TAI timescale, the S6xx must convert from UTC time to get to TAI time.
Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls General Behavior Associated with Manual Entry The following behaviors apply to all of the manual entries: If there is currently a qualified time reference that is capable of providing that particular information, then a manual entry supplying that information will NOT be used.
Page 196
Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls Manual Entry Example The example below illustrates the “pooling” behavior that ALL qualified time inputs (not just the selected time reference) are used to learn current status for any of these manual entries. In this case, two IRIG inputs are initially enabled; the specific configurations shown in Figure 6-6 (access this form via References„³Status).
Page 197
Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls though the IRIG with year is not actually driving the precise synchronization output in this S6xx, it is now being used to extract the current year. Note that the year may not be immediately adjusted upon qualification of the IRIG that supplies the year, but it will happen within a few minutes.

The qualified (and selected) input does not provide year (or leap) information. Figure 6-8. Example showing user-entry of all manual inputs Figure 6-9.
Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls Figure 6-13. Adding GPS provided the correct UTC offset value Reporting of Leapsecond Pending The ability to provide manual entry of pending leapseconds (see Figure 3) provides benefits beyond the basic capability to inform S6xx of an upcoming leap in a circumstance where it has no way to learn of it from supplied timing inputs.
Page 201
Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls NOT include GPS will not be capable of learning about pending leapseconds or the current UTC offset, so the discussion above is applicable only to combinations that included the GPS constellation. When GPS is not included, the manual methods for indicating pending leapseconds or setting the correct UTC offset are available.

Expected Pre-notification Times for Pending Leap Events With the prior discussion as background the added utility of the manual leapsecond setting can be understood. First, a nuance is added to the basic behavior described for all manual entries in the section titled General Behavior Associated with Manual Entry which stated: If there is currently a qualified time reference that is capable of providing that...
Page 203
Chapter 6 Provisioning Provisioning Inputs with Manual Entry Controls If GPS is not a qualified reference, then manual control of leap will be allowed at any time except when the remaining time until leap is within the timeframe of the qualified time input shown in Figure 9 that has the longest timeframe.
This procedure will take several minutes and should happen by the time the reach indicates 377 on the reference clock association. For optimal operation, Microsemi recommends the local hardware reference remain selected as a Prefer in the configuration.

These accessories are designed to deliver precise GNSS signals over a wide temperature range and in harsh environmental conditions.
Cable, on page 304. GNSS Antennas with Low Noise Amplifiers The antenna used with the SyncServer S600/S650 is a high-gain (40dB) GNSS antenna covering the GPS L1, GLONASS L1, and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS) frequency band (1575 to 1606 MHz). The antenna has a three stage...
Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas Antenna Kits Overview Accuracy of the antenna position determined using receiver survey depends on providing RF gain to the GNSS receiver within a required range of 15 to 30 dB and locating the antenna with an unobstructed field of view in a low multipath environment.
Antenna Kits Accessories Lightning Arrestor Microsemi offers the lightning arrestor for installations that require antenna coaxial lead-in protection. The lightning arrestor passes DC power and frequencies in the 1.5 GHz range with L1 GNSS antennas. In most installations, the lightning arrestor mounts near the point at which the antenna lead enters the facility.
Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas Antenna Kits Overview Lightning does not have to strike the antenna to significantly damage the antenna or the GNSS receiver. Damage is often due to the effects of a lightning strike on a nearby structure, not a direct strike on the antenna itself. Since lightning strikes may induce damaging voltages in the antenna system when striking nearby objects, attempt to locate the antenna away from lightning rods, towers, and other structures that attract lightning.
DC input to ensure an uninterrupted supply to the active antenna. Figure C-5. GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou Splitter Antenna Coaxial Cable Microsemi provides coaxial cables with N-type connectors on both ends. Table C-2 lists the part numbers for the cables and its crimp kit. Also see GPS Antenna Coaxial Cable Specifications, on page 289.
Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas GNSS Antenna Installation GNSS Antenna Installation This section provides information about planning and installing a GNSS antenna.

Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas GNSS Antenna Installation Developing a Grounding Scheme In addition to determining where to locate and mount the antenna and cabling, you should develop a grounding scheme. The purpose of the grounding scheme is to provide some protection against voltage surges and static discharge. If lightning arrestors are used, they also need to be connected to the perimeter ground system or to the bulkhead entrance panel that is connected to the perimeter ground system.
Cutting Antenna Cables Microsemi recommends that you coil excess cable to avoid gain mismatch between the GNSS antenna and the GNSS receiver. Coiling the excess cable also allows you to use the factory-installed crimped connector.
Appendix C Installing GNSS Antennas GNSS Antenna Installation 4. Adhere to local building codes to determine the type and number of fasteners, screws, bolts, etc. that may be required. Note: Follow local building electrical codes when installing the GNSS antenna. Figure C-7.
2. Connect the ground wire between the lightning arrestor and the proper grounding zone (building ground, master ground bar, or other) for the mounting location. Recommendation: Microsemi does not recommend soldered connections for grounding purposes. All grounding connections should be secured with mechanical clamp connectors.
Verify that all input and output cables are properly installed. Verify that all antenna connectors are secure, tight, and weatherproofed. Microsemi does not generally recommend the use of GNSS splitters. However, if one is used, Microsemi recommends the use of GPS L1 1:4 Active Splitter.
