GENERAL INFORMATION
GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00 Page 5
1General information
The 6875 radio-controlled clock is a universal GPS reception module with a highly accurate time
reference developed for controlling industrial processes. The 6875 snap-in module for 35mm
(DIN) track mounting is fitted with three PhotoMOS signal relays, an analogue and digital TTL
output and up to four independent serial interfaces.
The PhotoMOS signal relay outputs can be used, for example, for the SPS or measuring proc-
ess control. Following output modes are available:
• DCF77 pulse
• System status (radio-controlled or quartz)
• Status of the power supply on/off
• Cyclical pulses
• Non-cyclical pulses (1 pulse per day at a defined time, 1 pulse per year at a defined
time and on a defined date)
The analogue output can be used to synchronize DCF77 or IRIG-B systems.
The serial interfaces COM0...COM3 are used for the output of different pulses and data strings.
Each interface can be configured with hopf remote software.
The 6875 snap-in module has further features:
• Potential-free antenna circuit
• All outputs potential-free
• All settings can be parametered via the COM0 serial interface
• COM1 interface can be switched from RS232 to RS422 via configuration software
• switchable analogue output IRIG-B / DCF77
The following versions of the system are available (indicated on the identification label):
• FG6875G00 (GPS 6875 snap-in module basic version) with
• 3 PhotoMOS pulse outputs
• serial interface COM0: RS232
• serial interface COM1: RS232/RS422
• simulation output for DCF77 antenna simulation or IRIG-B 12x (x=0..3)
• programming cable, remote software and technical documentation included
• FG6875G01 (6875 snap-in module) with
• GPS 6875 snap-in module basic version FG6875G00
• Serial interface COM2: optical output
• FG6875G02 (6875 snap-in module) with
• GPS 6875 snap-in module basic version FG6875G00
• Serial interface COM2: optical output
• Serial interface COM3: optical output
• FG6875G03 (6875 snap-in module) with
• GPS 6875 snap-in module basic version 6875
• Serial interface COM2: optical output
• Serial interface COM2: optical input
The configuration software on the CD supplied is available for the most common MS Windows,
Linux and Sun Solaris operating systems (for more details see 4.1).

QUICK INSTALLATION
Page 6 GPS Satellite Controlled Clock 6875 - Ver. 04.00
2Quick installation
Synchronization is accelerated by initialising the GPS 6875 satellite clock when first putting into
operation. It is not absolutely necessary to enter set-up values. However, without initialisation it
may be several hours before the first signals are received.
For quick installation it is necessary to set the following set-up values in the GPS 6875 satellite
controlled clock:
• Earth the device
• Connect the antenna
• Create communication between the PC and the remote-controlled clock
• Connect the power supply
• Install and start the remote software
• Set the current local time
• Ser the local time difference to UTC (local time - UTC)
• Set changeover dates
• Set the position data of the location; if this is not known then set an approximate value
or set everything to zero
• Activate the reset of the clock after the next minute change
• Wait approx. 10 minutes to 4 hours before synchronizing the radio-controlled clock
The individual menu items of the programme are explained on the following pages.

3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Power supply
The power supply is connected via the 2 x 4-pole connectors, as supplied, with threaded flange,
connections +Vin und -Vin on the connecting unit X1. The system is provided with a voltage of
18...72 VDC..
The internal voltage supply of the 6875 snap-in module is potential-free. It must be earthed on
the rear side of the housing via the screw as labelled, in order to compensate the potential dif-
ference between the ground potential of the housing and the earth.
Please Note: ALTHOUGH THERE IS INTERNAL PROTECTION AGAINST WRONG POLING, ATTENTION
MUST BE PAID TO THE CORRECT VOTLAGE AND POLARITY WHEN CONNECTING THE
POWER. ONLY QUALIFIED STAFF SHOULD FIRST PUT THE EQUIPMENT INTO OPERA-
TION.
3.2.2 Connecting the antenna
The antenna is connected via the hopf antenna cable to the GPS-In BNC connector (more in-
formation in the GPS appendix).
3.2.3 Installation of the configuration software
see 4.2.
