4 Introduction This Setup Guide is a systematically structured guideline to assist you with the set-up of your Meinberg product. ADU/GPS-1-12 is an antenna splitter which distributes the intermediate frequency of 35.4 MHz coming from a Meinberg GPS antenna to up to 12 Meinberg GPS reference clocks via individual coaxial antenna connections.
The presence of an "electrical hazard" symbol is indicative of a risk of electric shock or lightning strike. The presence of a "fall hazard" symbol is indicative of a risk of falling when performing work at height. ADU/GPS-1-12 Date: December 19, 2022...
The following symbols and pictograms are also used in a broader context in this manual and on the product. The presence of the "ESD" symbol is indicative of a risk of product damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Gleichstrom (Symboldefinition IEC 60417-5031) Wechselstrom (Symboldefinition IEC 60417-5032) Erdungsanschluss (Symboldefinition IEC 60417-5017) Schutzleiteranschluss (Symboldefinition IEC 60417-5019) Date: December 19, 2022 ADU/GPS-1-12...
Depending on your specific device configuration and installed options, some safety information may not be applicable to your device. Meinberg accepts no responsibility for injury or death arising from a failure to observe the safety information, warnings, and safety-critical instructions provided in the product documentation.
Read the product manual carefully and completely before you set the product up for use. Safety standards and regulations change on a regular basis and Meinberg updates the corresponding safety information and warnings to reflect these changes. It is therefore recommended to visit the Meinberg website at https://www.meinbergglobal.com regularly to download up-to-date manuals.
Never drill holes into the device to mount it! If you are experiencing difficulties with rack installation, contact Meinberg’s Technical Support team for assistance! Inspect the device housing before installation. The device housing must be free of any damage when it is installed.
If a power supply unit or module is no longer functional (for example due to a defect), it can be returned to Meinberg for repair. Some components of the device may become very hot during operation. Do not touch these surfaces! If maintenance work is to be performed on the device and the device housing is still hot, switch off...
• The device is only deemed to be appropriately used and EMC limits (electromagnetic compatibility) are only deemed to be complied with while the device housing is fully assembled in order to ensure that requirements pertaining to cooling, fire safety, electrical shielding and (electro)magnetic shielding are upheld.

It can be returned to Meinberg for disposal. In this case, the shipping costs are to be borne by the customer, while Meinberg will cover the costs for disposal. If you wish for Meinberg to handle disposal for you, please get in touch with us.

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.

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).

The next step is to connect the supplied coaxial cable from the surge protector to the receiver. Type-N (Female) Type-N (Male) Receiver Optional Antenna Splitter SMA (Male) SMA (Female) BNC (Male) BNC (Female) Type-N (Male) Type-N (Female) Date: December 19, 2022 ADU/GPS-1-12...
