Notice! Additional information for the use of the device. Intended Use The DTS 4210.timecenter is a primary reference clock (PRC), Grandmaster and Timeserver for the high accurate synchronization of various equipment’s and for the use in large network environments. It receives time information from GNSS. An intelligent time management ensures lasting high accuracy by continuously compensating oscillator drift and aging.
This instruction manual is for the time server DTS 4210.timecenter. Introduction The DTS 4210.timecenter is a primary reference clock (PRC), Grandmaster and Timeserver for high accurate synchronization of various equipment’s and for the use in large network environments. It can be synchronized over GNSS, PTP, High Precision DCF and E1.
Device types Model: Features: Product no.: According to above description with DTS 4210.timecenter 121059 rubidium oscillator DTS Distributed Time System DTS (Distributed Time System) is a system developed by Moser-Baer AG to distribute time information to decentralized master clocks, slave clock lines and time servers or send synchronization signals to any other equipment.
MOBA-NMS is software used for central management and inquiry of state and alarm information. It supports DTS devices as well as all MOBATime analog and digital network clocks and can handle a network with more than 1000 devices. This software provides extensive functions for the configuration, installation, back-up / recovery etc.
Firmware It is recommended to install the current firmware on your device prior to the definite commissioning. The current firmware can be found under www.mobatime.com Customer Data Product Resources Time Server. Basic settings (factory settings) The basic settings can be found in the table in Appendix “G Parameters”.

In this case the leap second adjustment will be executed at the exact date and time even if the GPS reception is not sufficient. This procedure is recommended by Mobatime! GNSS Receiver: The GNSS satellite system transmits the information of a Leap Second adjustment at an arbitrary number of months in advance.
8.14 Redundant operation of 2 DTS 4210.timecenter For redundant operation two DTS 4210 devices are synchronized via optical fibers. For this purpose, a mini GBIC module is plugged into both devices and connected via optical fibres (see Appendix H Technical data): mini GBIC module In this scenario both devices have a GPS receiver (GNSS source priority 1).

The Time Zone Table is usually updated as needed. The current table is available for download under the following address: www.mobatime.com Customer Area Customer Support Support Resources Time Zone Table. In case your device is equipped with a newer version than shown in this manual, the current time zone settings should be checked.
The system software can be updated using FTP update client software or a USB stick (s. chapter 7 Updates). Your MOBATIME service informs you of use and necessity of a software update. If necessary, they can provide the needed firmware file. Needed information to...
