    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 19 Case Example 4: If the cable leading from the point of entry into the building to the Meinberg system is laid together with other cables (for example in a cable duct alongside high-voltage cables), transient voltages may "leak" into the antenna cable, causing damage to your system.
  • Page 20 Type-N (Male) If installed in a waterproof housing, the MBG S- Type-N (Female) PRO 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 dam- age (such as that caused by lightning strike).

  • Page 25: Data And Signal Cables

    9.3 Data and Signal Cables Coaxial Cable The IMS-GPS182 module provides a single BNC connector for supplying an antenna signal. When laying the antenna cable between the antenna and receiver, note the maximum specified cable length (see chapter "??"), which will vary depending on the type of cable use (RG 213, RG 58) and its attenuation factor.
  • Page 26: Configuration And Status Monitoring

    To enable the connected reference clock to compensate for the cable-induced propagation delay of the sig- nal, you must either specify the length of the antenna cable in meters (antenna –> Meinberg system) or enter the offset time in nanoseconds under the configuration settings for your reference clock.
