Page 13: Grounding The Device
4 Important Safety Information 4.4 Grounding the Device In order to ensure that the device can be operated safely and to meet the requirements of IEC 62368- 1, the device must be correctly connected to the protective earth conductor via the protective earth terminal.
Page 14: Electrical Safety
Always pull cable connectors out at both ends before performing work on connectors! Improperly connecting or disconnecting this Meinberg system may result in electric shock, possibly resulting in injury or death! When pulling out a connector, never pull on the cable itself! Pulling on the cable may cause the plug to become detached from the connector or cause damage to the connector itself.

Page 21: Microsync Introduction
6 microSync Introduction 6 microSync Introduction microSync is a multipurpose synchronization solution with compact design and high performance. The mi- croSync system provides multiple output signals and allows synchronization of both NTP clients and PTP slaves. The device has two 100/1000 MBit network interfaces and can provide both, optical and electrical network connections by using SFP modules.
Page 22: Installation Of A Gnss Antenna
7 Installation of a GNSS Antenna Two diﬀerent antennas are available for our combined GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou satellite receivers that are each designed to fulﬁll diﬀerent tasks or applications. The active Multi-GNSS L1 antenna is the standard accessory and can receive signals from the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite systems.
Page 23: Selecting The Antenna Location

” – 8 ”). Detailed instructions for the installation of a Multi-GNSS Antenna distributed by Meinberg are included in printed form with the antenna and also in the form of a digital PDF, a link to which is provided in Chapter 13.1,...
Page 26: Antenna Cable
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 Installation of a GNSS 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 GNS Reference Clocks 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 meinbergOS Web Interface. To do this, log into the Web Interface of your microSync system and proceed as follows: Open the menu “Conﬁguration”...

(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 recommends the use of the MBG-S-PRO surge protector, which is addressed in more detail later in this chap- ter.
Page 30: Electrical Bonding

Optional MBG S-PRO Surge Protector Information: The surge protector and suitable coaxial cable are not included as standard with a Meinberg Multi- GNSS Antenna, but can be ordered as an optional accessory, during or after the purchase of your time server.
Page 34 Preparation In addition to the MBG-S-PRO unit itself and the provided mounting bracket, you will require the follow- ing for the installation process: • A coaxial cable of suﬃcient length to be connected between the antenna and the MBG-S-PRO; the surge protector connector requires a Type-N male connector.
Page 35: Installation And Connection
Important! The MBG-S-PRO must be connected to the same bonding bar as the connected Meinberg receiver in order to prevent destructive potential diﬀerences. Lay the coaxial cable from the antenna to the installation location of the surge protector and connect this cable to one of the connectors of the surge protector, then connect the coaxial cable from the Meinberg receiver or (primary) signal distributor to the other surge protector connector.
Page 36: Additional Information
Additional Information This guide only describes the basic installation process of the MBG-S-PRO. Please refer to Chapter 13.3, “Technical Speciﬁcations: MBG-S-PRO Surge Protector” in the appendix as well as the manufacturer’s data sheet for detailed installation instructions and technical speciﬁcations for the MBG-S-PRO surge protector, including instructions on how to replace the gas cylinder: Data Sheet https://www.meinbergglobal.com/download/docs/shortinfo/english/cn-ub-280dc-bb_pc.pdf...
