1095A/C Clock Differences
Model 1095A/C may be ordered with and without an external antenna. Clocks without an external
antenna have an internal GNSS antenna. Clocks may also be purchased with either an opaque or
transparent (smoked) cover, and with or without an LED time display.
Unpacking
Several accessories included with the clock are located inside the packing material. For clocks with
an internal GPS antenna, these accessories include a Programming Port Cable with RJ-11 to DB9
adapter, this Quick Setup Guide and Sealing Cable Port. If ordered with Option 01 the clock also
comes with a Grounding Block Kit and GNSS Antenna. If included, handle the GNSS antenna
carefully as it may be damaged if dropped.
Attaching Mounting Hardware
Included Mounting Tabs
Included with each clock are four tabs and stainless hardware to mount the clock to a flat surface.
The clock may also be mounted to a pole using a worm drive adjustable strap (not included).
DIN Rail Mounting – Optional
Arbiter Systems sells an optional DIN rail mounting kit that allows you to mount the clock vertically
or horizontally. For installation instructions, download DIN Rail Mounting documentation from
the Model 1095A/C Arbiter website product page.
Installing Clock
Internal Antenna
The Model 1095A/C is designed to operate outside in the weather, and has a GPS antenna mounted
inside the enclosure. Mount the 1095 with top pointed up (the gland is on the bottom) so that the
GPS antenna has a complete view of the sky in all points of the compass.
External Antenna
If your clock was ordered with an external GNSS antenna, it is designed to be threaded onto a
piece of 3/4 in pipe nipple. Follow these instructions to mount the antenna. Make sure to mount
the antenna so that it has a clear view of the sky in all directions of the compass.
