Chapter 8 Working with Triggers and Downloading Event Records Introduction to Triggers and Events Triggering in the Model 1133A allows you to capture and store transient conditions of any measured signal and DSP value for up to 32 separate triggers. Besides recording the exact time and date of a power-line disturbance, all of the measured data parameters may also be recorded.
Working with Triggers and Downloading Event Records the triggering event no longer meets the conditions, the trigger is considered Inactive. Use the Configure Triggers window to set up all of these conditions. 8.2.1 User Trigger Parameter Definitions Input Signal. Consists of the measured signals and parameters, such as Voltage, Current, Watts, VARS, which are compared to the limit.
8.3 Configuring Power Quality Triggers 2. Under “Input Signal”, select the adjacent drop-down arrow and choose the desired parameter on which you want to trigger. 3. Under “Channel,” select the measurement channel (e.g. A, B, C, Ave., etc.), or relevant value according to the Input Signal type.
Working with Triggers and Downloading Event Records compared directly. Sliding means that Reference value is not fixed (or absolute) and can change slowly, such as with a gradually rising or dropping voltage. See additional details on following pages. Hysteresis: Floating point value; reduces extraneous records from accumulating when a measured value is dithering around a limit or reference.
8.3 Configuring Power Quality Triggers Hysteresis Hysteresis allows the user to set up triggering conditions to reduce the tendency for a varying signal (e.g. voltage) to generate unnecessary triggers. The figure below illustrates a voltage varying around about 130 Vrms, which is the set Limit for a trigger. To avoid unwanted triggers occurring at points A, B, C and D, a hysteresis value of 2 was chosen.
Working with Triggers and Downloading Event Records is the present value of the sliding reference voltage; is the previous value of the sliding reference voltage; and is the most recent 10/12-cycle r.m.s. value. (10 12) Note that even though the specification defines the input signal (U) as a voltage, Arbiter Systems has applied the specification to include measured input currents as calculated using the same formula.
8.5 Logging Data when Triggers Occur If you want to separate the logging parameters for each External Event Input, then select the different Channel buttons at the top of the window and repeat the process above. 4. See Figure 8.6 to continue setting up the data to be logged when an external trigger occurs. 5.

11.23 Contact Outputs The 1133A must be configured in advance to specify the events being recognized and actions to be taken. To maximize usage of flash memory, it is important to distinguish registered quantities from event log data. The amount of memory needed to record a certain number of registered items for a certain period can be determined exactly, whereas the amount of memory required to log events depends on the number and type of events, and the number of items to be recorded for each type.

Using Surge Arresters Introduction These instructions cover the installation of the Arbiter Systems Model AS0094500, Surge Arrester/ Grounding Block. The AS0094500 performs two basic functions: 1. Provides a solid and reliable grounding point for the antenna system connected to a GNSS receiver;...
Using Surge Arresters Installation B.3.1 Mounting Location Location is a key consideration when installing the Model AS0094500. It should be mounted as close as possible to a good earth ground, such as a grounding rod or station ground grid. The shorter the path between the arrester and the earth ground, the more effectively it will bypass the induced voltages.

Appendix C IRIG-B Primer Introduction IRIG-B is a complete serial time code of 74 bits that occurs once per second. It be subdivided into various forms, including modulated (analog), unmodulated (CMOS/TTL/Level-Shift) and with the C37.118 specification bits enabled or disabled (IEEE-1344 mode turned ON or OFF). The Model 1133A transmits only unmodulated IRIG-B, and allows you to also set the time zone to Local or UTC.
C.1 Introduction date, time changes and time quality information of the time signal. Timing information is divided into logic ones, zeros and reference bits. There are three functional groups of bits in the IRIG-B time code, in the following order: - Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), Control Function (CF) and Straight Binary Seconds (SBS).
IRIG-B Primer Connecting the IRIG-B Output The Model 1133A comes equipped with one, high drive, IRIG-B output connector using screw terminals. Terminal connectors are compatible with twisted pair cabling. If using a coaxial cable, you can easily transition from the two wires (coming from the back of the 1133A) to a BNC connector using a BNC Breakout.
C.2 Connecting the IRIG-B Output C.2.4 Connecting Unmodulated IRIG-B To drive multiple loads from one clock 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.
IRIG-B Primer Since electromagnetic waves travel slower through any cable, cable manufacturers normally specify cable with a velocity factor (VF), which is a fraction 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 GNSS antenna connections, is about 83% of C.
