Page 5: About This User Guide
About this User Guide Purpose The 8040C/8040CLN User Guide describes the procedures for unpacking, installing, using, maintaining the 8040C/8040CLN. Conventions This guide used the following conventions: Acronyms and Abbreviations – Terms are spelled out the first time they appear in text. -
Page 6: Special Notices
Special Notices Warnings, Cautions, Recommendations, and Notes attract attention to essential or critical information in this guide. The types of information included in each are explained in the following examples. WARNING All warnings have this symbol. Do not disregard warnings. They are installation, operation, or maintenance procedures, practices, or statements that if not strictly observed, may result in personal injury or loss of life. -
Page 7: Limited Product Warranty
When a warranty claim is questioned or disallowed, Symmetricom will contact Buyer by telephone or in writing to resolve the problem. 2. Software - Symmetricom warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from date of shipment by Symmetricom the accompanying media will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. -
Page 8: Introduction
1, 5 or 10 MHz square wave 1 PPS The 8040C uses Symmetricom’s model SA.22C Rubidium as its internal oscillator, and provides direct user control via an RS-232 to perform the following tasks: Adjust the SA.22C Rubidium oscillator frequency. -
Page 9: Installation
Rubidium oscillator is sensitive to DC and AC magnetic fields. Power Connection/Fuse/Voltage The Symmetricom 8040C is powered from an AC source or optionally from a 24VDC source. (See Power Requirements, page 15). The AC fuse is located inside the AC connector/filter on the rear panel. -
Page 10: Input Signals
The 1 PPS IN connector takes a 1 PPS input from an external source, such as a GPS receiver or Cesium frequency standard, which is then used to discipline the 8040C’s Rubidium oscillator. See Disciplining to External 1 PPS on page 8. -
Page 11: Operation
Operation Powering Up Connecting the power cord from the 8040C/8040CLN to the AC or DC source provides power to the unit. For the DC version, on the power cord apply: +24VDC on the red wire. Ground or return on the black wire. -
Page 12: Adjusting Oscillator Frequency
The traditional approach involved adding an external circuit to the oscillator that had a phase lock loop detector to handle disciplining algorithms. Symmetricom is a leader in time and frequency design and has pioneered the use of Rubidium oscillators in telecommunications. The model SA.22C Rubidium oscillator in the Symmetricom 8040C/8040CLN provides an important new feature –... -
Page 13: Operation
Operation Connect the 1 PPS source to the 1 PPS IN on the rear panel of the 8040C/8040CLN. The 8040C/8040CLN’s Symmetricom Synchronization Adaptive Algorithm (SSAA) qualifies the 1 PPS input reference by detecting 256 valid 1 PPS input pulses and determining the number of outliers based on the time constant. - Page 14 Figures 4 & 5: Dipswitch Locations for Configuring Outputs 15254-201.docx Rev.
