Page 5: General Information
General information The German long wave transmitter DCF77 started continious operation in 1970. The introduction of time codes in 1973 build the basic for developing modern radio remote clocks. The carrier frequency of 77.5kHz is amplitude modulated with time marks each second. -
Page 6: Features Pzf511
AM-time code receiver. The precise regulation of the main oscillator of the radio clock is possible therefore. So, the PZF511 can be used as a standard frequency generator besides the application as a time code receiver. -
Page 7: Installation Pzf511
The antenna must be placed in longitudinal direction to the DCF-transmitter (Frankfurt). The nearness to microcompu- ters should be avoided (PZF511 included) and the antenna should be installed with a minimum distance of 30cm to all metal objects, if possible. A distance of several meters to TV- or computermonitors must be kept. -
Page 8: Front Panel
If the 'Freil.'-LED is on, it was not possible to synchronize the internal realtime clock to DCF-time. This condition occures for at most two minutes after switching on the PZF511, because two DCF-telegrams are checked for plausibility before the data is taken over. Short disturbance of receiption can cause this state too. -
Page 9: Display
Menu items The type of DCF-clock and the software revision are displyed first after power-up. The following informations are readable before the PZF511 switches to time-display auto- matically: The handling of any queries will be simplified if the software revision is given by the user. -
Page 10: Menu Date
Menu DATE After the Set button is pressed, the actual date appears on the display. Menu DAY o.W. The day of the week will be displayed in this menu. Menu PZF STAT Information on the decoding of the pseudo-random sequence is available in this menu. The following texts may be displayed: This message indicates that the system tries to achieve a coarse synchronisation. -
Page 11: Menu Field
'Assembly of antenna'. Menu SETUP The user-specific parameters of the PZF511 are set in this menu. To avoid the erroneous change of these parameters, it is not possible to enter the submenus by a simple pressing of the Set-button. -
Page 12: Menu Synth
Menu SYNTH. The output frequency of the internal synthesizer is selected in this menu. This can be done in the range of 1/3Hz to 9.999MHz. The frequency can be set here and the buttons are used the same way as for setting the DIST.o.T-value. -
Page 13: Menu Par.comx
Menu STR.COMx The three menus STR.COM0 to STR.COM2 allow the selection of the serial time strings for COM0, COM1 and COM2. The following time strings can be selected: - MBG - Meinberg Standard String - Uni Erlangen String - ATIS String... -
Page 14: Menu Irig
Menu IRIG This menu allows to select an IRIG, AFNOR or IEEE1344 timecode to be generated. Besides the amplitude modulated sine wave signal, the PZF511 also provides an unmodulated DC-Level Shift TTL output in parallel. Thus six time codes are available. -
Page 15: Menu Osz.adj
Meinberg only. Menu SER. No. The 12-digit serial number of the PZF511 is displayed in this menu. This number may be helpful to know if the user asks Meinberg for support. The most significant eight digits of the serial number are displayed first, after pressing the... -
Page 16: Asynchronous Serial Interfaces
Three independant serial RS232 interfaces are available at the rear connector of the clock PZF511. As set in menu SER.MODE, the serial ports can send the a time string either per second, per minute or on request by sending an ASCII '?' (3F hex) to the clock. -
Page 17: Frequency Synthesizer
Frequency synthesizer The synthesizer of the PZF511 generates a frequency in the range of 1/3Hz up to 9.999MHz, which can be set in the menu SYNTH. The synthesizer-output is available with TTL-level, as a sinewave signal or an open drain output at the VG-connector. -

13a with TTL level. DCF77 Emulation The correlation receiver PZF511 generates TTL level time marks (active HIGH) which are compatible with the time marks spread by the German long wave transmitter DCF77. This long wave transmitter installed in Mainflingen near Frankfurt/Germany transmits the reference time of the Federal Republic of Germany: time of day, date of month and day of week in BCD coded second pulses. -
Page 23: Realtime Clock
Realtime clock The PZF511 includes a battery-backed realtime clock which runs crystal-precise in case of power failure. A relativ accurate time is present immediately after power-up this way. An additional RAM of the realtime clock is used to store important system parameters. -
Page 24: Firmware Updates
COM0. The new firmware can be sent to PZF511 from any standard PC with serial interface. A loader program will be shipped together with the file containing the image of the new firmware. -
