Page 6: Introduction
3 Introduction 3 Introduction This Setup Guide is a systematically structured guideline to assist you with the initial set-up of your Meinberg product. The IMS-TCR180 receiver module is used to decode and generate modulated (AM) and unmodulated (DC level-shift) IRIG-A / B / G, AFNOR, C37.118, and IEEE1344-formatted time codes. Time codes are transmitted by modulating the amplitude of a sinusoidal carrier wave, while unmodulated codes are transferred by modu- lating the pulse width of a TTL signal. - Page 7 Compatibility The IMS-TCR180 is an IMS module that is compatible with the following systems in the IMS product family and can be used in the following slots. System Compatibility - IMS TCR180 M500 M1000 M1000 S M2000 S M3000 M3000 S...

Page 8: Important Safety Information
Please ensure that IMS modules designed for "hot-plugging" (modules that are removable and insertable while a system is in operation) are always handled with the utmost care. Before performing any maintenance work on the system, Meinberg recommends: • backing up stored configurations (e.g., via USB flash drive or Web UI) •... -
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. Date: December 17, 2021 IMS-TCR180... -
Page 10: Power Supply
In the event that a power supply unit is no longer working (e.g. defective), please return it to Meinberg for repair. Failure to observe these safety instructions may result in serious injury and/or property damage. The IMS system must only be installed, set up, and operated by qualified personnel. -
Page 11: Cabling
The battery is used to power components such as the RAM and the reserve real-time backup clock for the reference clock. If the battery voltage drops below 3 V DC, Meinberg recommends having the battery replaced. If the battery voltage drops below the specified minimum, the following behavior may be observed in the reference clock: •... -

Page 20: Use Of Coaxial Cable As Signal Conductor
Your system must be connected to the TCR180 signal inputs using coaxial cable with the proper character- istic impedance and adequate shielding. A mismatched cable impedance will result in signal distortion, while poor shielding can cause signal inter- ference. IMS-TCR180 Date: December 17, 2021... -
