TABLE 1-1 CONFIGURATION SUMMARY SPECIFICATIONS 1.6.1 Inputs The Model 8144-DD accepts one or two clock inputs as well as one or two alarm inputs. DS1 CLOCK INPUTS The DS1 clock inputs comply with ANSI T1.102-1987 as follows: Line Rate: 1.544 Mb/s Tolerance: ±130 ppm (200.72 Hz)
1 and 3 on the alarm inputs alarms the A channel. A contact closure between pins 4 and 6 alarms the B channel. 1.6.2 DS1 Outputs The Model 8144-DD provides up to twelve clock outputs. DS1 CLOCK OUTPUTS The twelve DS1 clock outputs comply with ANSI T1.102-1987 as follows: Line Rate: 1.544 Mb/s...
Alarm Cut Off. A momentary contact switch that removes the remote alarm condition (unlatches the alarm relays). AUTO/MANUAL: Enables automatic switchover or manual selection of references. Turns power ON or OFF. Switch must be pulled out to toggle. Instruction Manual 8144-DD/075020 Page 1-5...
Loss of DS1 reference signal on both inputs. An Alarm Indication Signal on both reference inputs. EXTERNAL ALARM INPUT An External Alarm Input on both alarm inputs. POWER FAILURE External power failure, fuse or internal power supply failure. Page 1-6 Instruction Manual 8144-DD/075020...
2.1.1 AC Line Voltage Selection The Model 8144-DD is factory set for 115 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz power line operation. The instrument may also be operated from a 230 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz power line. For 230 VAC operation, change the voltage selection drum and line fuse as illustrated in Figure 2-1, and as described below: Remove the line cord (if installed) from the line voltage connector.

Locate the terminal block connectors in the ancillary kit and install onto rear panel connectors as needed. Refer to Figure 2-3, 8144-DD Rear Panel, for locations. Connect the A clock source to terminals 1 and 2 on the CLKS IN terminal block.
Section 2: Installation 10.0 Check the front panel controls and indicators. Refer to Figure 2-4, 8144-DD Front Panel, for locations of these controls and indicators. 10.1 ALARMS and INDICATORS The Major indicator is red if both clock sources have failed.

The distribution amplifiers split the clock to twelve outputs and sends them to the rear panel connectors. The Model 8144-DD can operate in two modes: Automatic or Manual. In automatic mode, the primary (A) clock has priority and is selected if it is present.
MINOR RESET AUTO MANUAL FIGURE 3-2 MODEL 8144-DD FRONT PANEL MINOR ALARM Indicator: A minor alarm exists when one of the clock references is lost, or upon the activation of one of the alarm inputs. When only one clock reference is being used, the MINOR ALARM indicator is on constantly, unless header H7 is set to the A-B position.
MINOR alarm indicator is lit. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS Figure 3-3, 8144-DD Rear Panel, and the following paragraphs describe the rear panel functions. Each terminal block is a pluggable connector. FIGURE 3-3 8144-DD REAR PANEL - AC AND DC CONNECTORS...
4 and 6 activates the B alarm. Making the + (plus) more negative than the - (minus) input activates the alarm. The alarm termination headers must be in their high-impedance (B-C) position to use contact closures for alarm inputs. Instruction Manual 8144-DD/075020 Page 3-5...
