3 Presentation Conventions in this Manual 3 Presentation Conventions in this Manual 3.1 Conventions for the Presentation of Critical Safety Warnings Warnings are indicated with the following warning boxes, using the following signal words, colors, and symbols: Caution! This signal word indicates a hazard with a low risk level. Such a notice refers to a procedure or other action that may result in minor injury if not observed or if improperly performed.
3.2 Secondary Symbols Used in Safety Warnings Some warning boxes may feature a secondary symbol that emphasizes the defining nature of a hazard or risk. The presence of an "electrical hazard" symbol is indicative of a risk of electric shock or lightning strike.
3 Presentation Conventions in this Manual 3.4 Generally Applicable Symbols 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.

4 Important Safety Information 4.4.1 Special Information for Devices with AC Power Supply This device is a Protection Class 1 device and may only be connected to a grounded outlet (TN system). For safe operation, the installation must be protected by a fuse rated for currents not exceeding 20 A and equipped with a residual-current circuit breaker in accordance with applicable national standards.
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...

5.4 Maintenance and Modifications Important! Before performing any maintenance work on or authorized modification to your Meinberg system, we recommend making a backup of any stored configuration data (e.g., to a USB flash drive from the Web Interface). 5.4.1 Replacing the Battery Your device’s clock module is fitted with a lithium battery (type CR2032) that is used to locally storage almanac...
Meinberg recommends keeping a spare fuse to hand at all times to ensure that a triggering of the integrated fuse does not disrupt the operation of your system for any longer than absolutely necessary. Ensure that it is of the proper type, and that it has the appropriate current and voltage ratings and blow curve.
It can be returned to Meinberg for disposal. Any transportation expenses for returning this product (at end-of- life) must be covered by the end user, while Meinberg will bear the costs for the waste disposal itself.

7.2 Installation of the Antenna Please read the following safety information carefully before installing the antenna and ensure that it is ob- served during the installation. Danger! Do not mount the antenna without an effective fall arrester! Danger of death from falling! •...

7 Installing a GPS Antenna Mount the Meinberg GPS Antenna (as shown in Fig. 3) at a distance of at least 50 cm to other antennas using the mounting kit provided, either onto a vertical pole of no more than 60 mm diameter or directly onto a wall.
Meinberg provides suitable cable types with its antennas and these are ordered together with the antenna to match the length you need from your antenna to your Meinberg reference clock. The route to be covered for your antenna installation should be determined and the appropriate cable type selected accordingly before confirming your order.
Page 27
7 Installing a GPS Antenna Laying the Antenna Cable When laying the antenna cable, ensure that the specified maximum cable length is not exceeded. This length will depend on the selected cable type and its attenuation factor. If the specified maximum length is exceeded, correct transmission of the synchronization data and thus proper synchronization of the reference clock can no longer be guaranteed.
Page 28
Compensating for Signal Propagation Time The propagation of the signal from the antenna to the receiver (reference clock) can incur a certain delay. This delay can be compensated for in the LANTIME Web Interface. To do this, log into the Web Interface of your LANTIME system and proceed as follows: Open the menu "Clock"...
Please refer to the standards regarding antenna installations (e.g., DIN EN 60728-11) for more information. However, in order to preserve the safety of the building and to protect your Meinberg system, Meinberg recomends the use of the MBG-S-PRO surge protector, which is addressed in more detail later in this chapter.
Electrical Bonding Electrical bonding is the connection of all metallic, electrically conductive elements of the antenna instal- lation in order to limit the risk of dangerous voltages for people and connected devices. To this end, the following elements should be connected and integrated into a bonding system: •...

7 Installing a GPS Antenna Optional MBG S-PRO Surge Protector Information: The surge protector and suitable coaxial cable are not included as standard with a Meinberg GPS Antenna, but can be ordered as an optional accessory. Construction The MBG-S-PRO is a surge protector (Phoenix CN-UB-280DC-BB) for coaxial connections. It is patched directly into the antenna line and consists of a replaceable gas discharge tube that redirects the energy from the cable shielding to the ground potential when ignited.
Meinberg system in order to prevent destructive potential differences. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to one of the surge protector connectors, then connect the other surge protector connector to the coaxial cable leading to the Meinberg reference clock. Caution!

11 Technical Appendix External Ground Conductor Terminal on Chassis This terminal must be connected to an equipotential bonding bar ("grounding bar"). The connection is located below the top-hat rail clip on the rear of the device. Please note that the parts required to affix the grounding cable are not supplied with the product.
11.3 Technical Specifications: MBG-S-PRO Surge Protector The MBG-S-PRO is a surge protector (Phoenix CN-UB-280DC-BB) for coaxial connections. It is patched directly into the antenna line and consists of a replaceable gas discharge tube that redirects the energy from the cable shielding to the ground potential when ignited. Connect the MBG-S-PRO using a ground conductor cable that is as short as possible.
11 Technical Appendix 11.4 How Satellite Navigation Works The use of a receiver for location tracking and time synchronization relies on the ability to measure the satellite- to-receiver propagation delay as precisely as possible. It is necessary to have simultaneous reception from at least four satellites so that the receiver can determine its relative spatial position in three dimensions (x, y, z) and measure the deviation of its clock against the system clock.
Satellite Systems GPS was installed by the United States Department of Defense (US DoD) and operates at two performance levels: the Standard Positioning Service, or SPS, and the Precise Positioning Service, or PPS. The structure of the messages transmitted by the SPS has been openly published and reception is provided for public use. The timing and navigation data of the more precise PPS is encrypted and is thus only accessible to certain (usually military) users.
