4 Important Safety Information The manuals for a product are included in the scope of delivery of the device on a USB stick. The manuals can also be obtained via the Internet. Enter www.meinbergglobal.com into your browser, then enter the correspond- ing device name in the search field at the top.
4.3 Security during Installation WARNING! Preparing for Commissioning This built-in unit, has been designed and examined according to the requirements of the standard IEC 62368-1 "Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment - Part 1: Safety requirements". When the built-in unit is used in a terminal (e.g., housing cabinet), additional requirements according to Standard IEC 62368-1 must be observed and complied with.

4 Important Safety Information Connecting Data Cables During a thunderstorm, data transmission lines must not be connected or disconnected (risk of lightning). When wiring the devices, the cables must be connected or disconnected in the order of the arrangement described in the user documentation accompanying the device. Always attach all cables to the plug during connection and removal.
4.4 Protective Conductor- / Ground-Terminal ATTENTION! In order to ensure safe operation and to meet the requirements of IEC 62368-1, the device must be correctly connected to the protective earth conductor via the protective earth connection terminal. If an external earth connection is provided on the housing, it must be connected to the equipotential bonding rail (grounding rail).
4 Important Safety Information 4.6 Safety during Maintenance WARNING! The device must not be opened. Repairs to the device may only be carried out by the manufacturer or by authorized personnel. Improper repairs can result in considerable danger to the user (electric shock, fire hazard). Unauthorized opening of the device or of individual parts of the device can also lead to considerable risks for the user and result in a loss of warranty as well as an exclusion of liability.
4.8 Cleaning and Care ATTENTION! Do not wet clean the appliance! Penetrating water can cause considerable dangers to the user (e.g., electric shock). Liquid can destroy the electronics of the device! Liquid penetrates into the housing of the device and can cause a short circuit of the electronics. Only clean with a soft, dry cloth.
Return and Collection Systems For returning your old equipment, please use the country-specific return and collection systems available to you or contact Meinberg. The withdrawal may be refused in the case of waste equipment which presents a risk to human health or safety due to contamination during use.

6 GNSS Satellite Navigation The satellite receiver clock GPS180 has been designed to provide extremely precise time to its user. The clock has been developed for applications where conventional radio controlled clocks can´t meet the growing require- ments in precision. High precision available 24 hours a day around the whole world is the main feature of the new system which receives its information from the satellites of the russian GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System) and the american GPS (Global Positioning System).
6 GNSS Satellite Navigation 6.1 Time Zone and Daylight Saving GPS system time differs from the universal time scale (UTC) by the number of leap seconds which have been inserted into the UTC time scale since GPS was initiated in 1980. The current number of leap seconds is part of the navigation message supplied by the satellites, so the internal real time of the GPS180 is based on UTC time scale.
7 Installation GPS Antenna WARNING! Antenna mounting without effective anti-fall protection Danger to life due to fall! - Pay attention to effective working safety when installing antennas! - Never work without an effective anti-fall equipment! WARNING! Working on the antenna system during thunderstorms Danger to life due to electrical shock! - Do not carry out any work on the antenna system or the antenna cable if there is a risk of a lightning strike.
