Page 9: Prevention Of Esd Damage
ESD-proof bags that are crumpled or have holes cannot provide effective protection against electrostatic discharges. ESD-proof bags must have a sufficient electrical resistance and must not be made of conductive metals if the device has a lithium battery fitted on it. PZF180 Date: December 8, 2021... -
Page 10: Cabling
There is a Danger of explosion if the lithium battery is replaced incorrectly. Only identical batteries or batteries recommended by the manufacturer must be used for replacement. The waste battery has to be disposed as proposed by the manufacturer of the battery. Date: December 8, 2021 PZF180... -
Page 11: General Information Pzf
The reason for this phenomenon is a difference in the portion of the sky wave which superimposes the ground wave. To check the accuracy of the time frame, the comparison of two systems with compensated propagation delay is meaningful. PZF180 Date: December 8, 2021... -

DCF-telegram simultaneously. The controller handles input and output functions of the PZF180 and synchronizes the internal real-time clock. By evaluating the pseudorandom phase noise, the PZF is able to generate time frames with thousand times the accuracy of standard AM-time code receivers. -

AM-time code receiver. The precise regulation of the main oscillator of the radio clock is possible therefore. So, the PZF180 can be used as a standard frequency generator besides the appli- cation as a time code receiver. One fixed 10MHz frequency and one settable TTL-level standard frequencies are available at the rear VG-connector. -
Page 14: Dcf77 Emulation
Transmission speeds, framings and mode of operation can be configured separately using the setup menu. COM0 is compatible with other radio remote clocks made by Meinberg. It sends the time string either once per second, once per minute or on request with ASCII ´?´ only. Also the interfaces can be configured to transmit capture data either automatically when available or on request. -

"Inter Range Instrumentation Group" (IRIG) in the early 60´s. Except these "IRIG Time Codes", other formats like NASA36, XR3 or 2137 are still in use. The board PZF180 however generates the IRIG-B, AFNOR NFS 87-500 code as well as IEEE1344 code which is an IRIG-B123 coded extended by information for time zone, leap second and date. -

For testing purposes the output of TFOM in IEEE1344 mode can be disabled. The segment is set to all zeros then. 4.6.8 Outputs The module PZF180 provides modulated (AM) and unmodulated (DCLS) outputs. The format of the timecodes is illustrated in the diagramms "IRIG-" and "AFNOR standard-format". 4.6.8.1 AM - Sine Wave Output The carrier frequency depends on the code and has a value of 1 kHz (IRIG-B). -

Page 24: Power Supply
5.3 Power Supply The power supply used with a PZF180 has to provide only one output of +5V. The output voltage should be well regulated because drifting supply voltages reduce the short time accuracy of the generated frequencies and timing pulses. The power supply lines should have low resistance and must be connected using both pins a, b and c of the rear connector. -

On Windows operating systems, an installer setup, with graphical user interface, will perform the installation routine of the mbgdevman. To update an already installed version of the Meinberg Device Manager, you can simply download and run a new version of the installation program. The existing version will then be overwritten by the new version. - Page 26 "Apply Configuration" button. Use the "Re- store Configuration" button to reset all settings back to their default values.
