1.0 Introduction The PPS-2RM-B is a dual 1 pulse-per-second (1 PPS) generator. This instrument requires a sine-wave input signal of 1 MHz, 5 MHz or 10 MHz to generate the 1 PPS. The PPS-2RM-B generates two pairs of independent 1 pulse-per-second outputs with variable pulse width.
The switching from AC to DC supply operation is affected by a Schottky diode network and charge storage capacitors to ensure glitch free operation. If the PPS-2RM-B was acquired with the DC operation option a 6 pin DC connector will be available on the back panel.

Detaching the DC power cord is the only option of disconnecting the unit from the DC mains supply. Make sure you have access to the rear panel or provide an external accessible DC disconnect means for your PPS-2RM-B. Page 3...
2.2 Instrument safety and preparation for use. Reference Frequency Configuration The PPS-2RM-B may be configured to operate on 1 MHz, 5 MHz or 10 MHz frequency reference. The default configuration for the unit is 5 MHz. To change the input reference frequency, the unit must be unplugged from the power source(s).
3.0 Front Panel AC Power LED The LED will turn on when AC power is applied to the instrument. DC Power LED If the instrument was acquired with the DC operation option the DC power LED will light up when DC power is applied to the unit. EXT PPS1 LED The LED will flash on the rising edge of the 1 PPS external synchronization signal from the first module.
4.0 Back Panel AC POWER The PPS-2RM-B is configured to operate on 100 to 240 VAC DC POWER If the instrument was acquired with the DC operation option a DC connector will be available on the back panel. Operation on DC from +12 to +36 VDC will be possible as the main power supply or as backup power in case of AC power outages when both, AC and DC, are powering the instrument.
5.0 Operation To operate the PPS-2RM-B, locate the AC power entry module on the rear of the enclosure and/or the DC connector and connect the power cord(s). Plug the unit into appropriate power outlet(s). The LED on the front panel labeled AC will turn on when AC voltage is applied.
