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.
fiber optic or electrical connection. The safety information below must be read and heeded before installing an SFP module in a Meinberg device, before setting up a Meinberg device equipped with SFP modules for use, or before performing maintenance on such a Meinberg device.
4 Important Safety Information 4.5 Connection of Protective Earth Conductor/Grounding ATTENTION! In order to ensure that the device can be operated safely 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.
Opening the device or individual device components in an unauthorized fashion may also expose the user to considerable risks and invalidate your warranty. Meinberg Funkuhren accepts no liability for consequences arising from such unauthorized actions. Danger from moving parts—do not touch moving parts.

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: •...
4.9 Cleaning and Care ATTENTION! Never clean the device using liquids! Water ingress is a significant safety risk for the user (e.g., electric shock). Liquids can cause irreparable damage to the electronics of the device! The ingress of liquids into the device chassis may cause short circuits in the electronic circuitry. Only clean with a soft, dry cloth.
When disposing of your old equipment, please use the national return or collection systems available to you. Alternatively, you may contact Meinberg, who will provide further assistance. The return of electronic waste may not be accepted if the device is soiled or contaminated in such a way that it potentially presents a risk to human health or safety.

6 GNSS Satellite Navigation The GPS180 satellite receiver clock is designed to provide users with a high-precision time & frequency refer- ence. This system, which can draw information from the satellites of the Russian GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), American GPS (Global Positioning System), European Galileo, and Chinese BeiDou systems, is defined by its high precision and the ability to use it at any time, anywhere in the world.
6 GNSS Satellite Navigation 6.1 Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time GPS System Time is a linear timescale that was synchronized with the international UTC timescale (Coor- dinated Universal Time) when the satellite system became operational in 1980. Since it has entered service, however, several leap seconds have been introduced to the UTC timescale to adjust UTC time to irregularities in the Earth’s rotation.

Type-N (Male) If installed in a waterproof housing, the MBG S-PRO Type-N (Female) can be installed outdoors. However, Meinberg recommends installing the surge protector indoors—as closely to the entrance point of the antenna cable as possible—in order to minimize the risk of surge damage (such as that caused by lightning strike).

7 Installation of the GPS Antenna Optional Antenna Splitter Multiple receivers can be connected to one antenna using the antenna splitter. When doing so, be aware that the total distance, comprising the cable from the antenna to the splitter, and from there to the receiver, must not exceed the maximum cable length.
The software is delivered on the USB stick included in the scope of delivery and does not need to be in- stalled or copied on the PC. The Meinberg Device Manager can be started directly from the USB data carrier.
To configure a microSync system you need the Meinberg Device Manager software. This tool is provided on the supplied USB stick. You can always download the latest version from our website: https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/mbg-devman.htm...
Manager software, for which you should use version 2.2 or better. Once a subunit (such as a microSync) has been configured using Meinberg Device Manager, it is no longer possible to use the mbgOSWizard to perform the initial network setup.
8.2 Initial Start of Operation First install the Meinberg Device Manager software supplied on the USB stick. After the setup, start the program. If you do not want to perform a setup on your computer, you can start the portable version of the Meinberg Device Manager software directly on the USB stick: USB Drive/Software/MbgDevMan/mbgdev- man_portable/mbgdevman.exe.
