2.7 Network Connections All models have three Ethernet ports available for clock configuration, port management as well as serving time using NTP or PTP. The network section may be ordered with copper RJ-45 connectors, fiber optic connectors, or a mix of copper and fiber. RJ-45 connector versions have two separate link status LEDs tell you if the connection is either 10 Base-T (green) or 100 Base-T (yellow).
To mount the antenna, you will need a piece of 3/4-inch pipe nipple that can be attached to a solid fixture. The piece of pipe nipple should be threaded up into the antenna receptacle after connecting the antenna cable to the antenna connector. Arbiter Systems sells an antenna mounting kit that simplifies installation for a variety of locations.

3.4.1.6 Available Antenna Cables and Accessories for Longer Runs Arbiter Systems offers longer antenna cables for use with all models of clocks when the standard 15 m (50 ft) cable is inadequate. For RG-6 cable runs greater than 100 m (328 ft), up to 175 m (578 ft), Arbiter offers a 21 dB in-line amplifier.
3.4.2 Physical Protection Consider common causes of physical damage when routing the antenna cable: closing doors, falling objects, foot traffic, heat and vibration. The cable is not intended for hanging in midair. Allow a sufficient bend radius to prevent kinks. Allow extra length to prevent tension on the connectors and a service loop, if a connector needs replacement.
4.2 Operating Modes Initially, the very the first time the clock starts up it will be uninitialized. In this mode, the clock performs position fixes each second and does not keep track of antenna position and satellite information. The clock will stay uninitialized forever unless initiating the learn mode from the user interface (UI).

IRIG-B is a complete serial time code that occurs once per second and, depending on the configuration, contains the day of year, hours, minutes, seconds, year and other important information. The Model 1205B/C and 1206B/C transmits (IRIG) Format B with four variations. Designation Signal Type...
Three functional groups of bits in the IRIG-B time code are arranged in the following order: Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), Control Function (CF) and Straight Binary Seconds (SBS). The BCD group, with IEEE C37.118.1-2011 OFF, contains only time information including the seconds, minutes, hours and days, recycling yearly.
9.2.2 1 Pulse-Per-Second (1 PPS) A one pulse-per-second timing signal is very simple in concept. It is a digital bit transmitted every second with a 10-millisecond pulse width. A critical part of this signal is that it is “on time” at the rising edge when compared with the signal from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
9.2.4 DCF77 Time Signal Models 1205B/C and 1206B/C can provide the DCF77 time signal as an output by choosing it from the user interface within the programmable pulse selections. The DCF77 time signal occurs once per minute and provides the year, month, day of week, calendar day, hour and minute, and various markers.
9.3 Multi-Function Relay Contacts The main I/O has one set of SPDT mechanical relay contacts that may be configured for the following functions or indications: • programmable pulse outputs • fault (internal) • alarm (external) • out of lock • clock stabilized Note that the relay lifetime is rated for a minimum of 100,000 cycles, which should govern the chosen function, especially if being used for programmable pulse.

9.10.3 Synchronizing Multiple IED’s In many installations, timing signals are “fanned out” to several devices from a single timing output. This method makes more efficient use of the clock synchronizing capability since the clock drivers are designed to drive multiple loads. The exact number of possible loads must be determined from the input impedance of each connected IED.
9.10.6 Wire Losses Wire losses affect the available timing signal voltage available at the IED. Wire has a certain resistivity associated with it that is determined by its metallic composition, and its resistance determined by the diameter and length. For example, single-strand, 22 AWG (bare, enamel-coated) copper wire has a resistance of approximately 16.1 ohms per 1000 feet.
(VF), which is a percentage of the speed of light in free space, and characteristic of the specific cable. The velocity factor for the RG-6 cabling used by Arbiter Systems for GNSS antenna connections, is about 83 % of C. Most transmission lines have velocity factors in the range of 65 % to 97 %.
Chapter 10 Optional Inputs and Outputs Any Model 1205B/C and 1206B/C Clock can accommodate up to three separate sets of inputs or outputs to customize the unit configuration. Located between the main GNSS antenna inlet and the power supply B inlet, from one to three separate option boards may be mounted inside the clock to provide a variety of functions, including BNC, ST fiber optic and 3.5 mm terminal connectors.
