Isolation
Outputs to base unit: 2.5kV
Power supply to I/O: 3.5kV
Between I/O: 5kV
Programmability
Customization is achieved using a supplied cable and Windows based software. User adjustable options include:
Timing & Synchronization:

Worldwide daylight savings and local time configuration using either rule based or fixed date methods.

Options that allow equipment checks prior to full installation and adjustable hold-over times to increase reliability in the case of poor GPS coverage.

Adjustments to compensate for installation parameters such as delay of GPS signal through antenna cable.

Programmable Outputs:

IRIG-B (B00x / B22x) time code with selectable IEEE1344 and AFNOR S87-500 extensions

DCF77 time code

User defined pulse sequences: − Repetition rates from 20ms to 24 hours
− Offsets and durations from 10ms to 24 hours
− Resolution is 10ms, timing accuracy is 100ns

Environmental & Electrical
1 x IEC320 power supply (100 - 300 Vdc/ 85 - 264 Vac)
An additional IEC320 power supply can be ordered for redundancy.
Power Drain: 6w max.
Operating Temperature: -10°C to +65°C
Humidity: To 95% non-condensing  
Lightning Protection Kit
The antenna lightning protection kit affords additional protection through the use of an impulse suppressor installed in the antenna lead-in coax cable. In the event of a lightning-derived high voltage surge occurring on the coaxial cable, the impulse suppressor activates, short-circuiting the cable directly to the protection ground.
Kit contents (all components required to install lightning protection are included): - Poly-phasor DGXZ+06NFNF-A Impulse Suppressor
- 2 x N-type Male Crimp Style Coaxial cable
- Connector set to match antenna cable
- Crimp Tool to match the above connectors RG59).
Antenna mount
An adjustable 500mm powdercoated steel mounting bracket.
