2.4 Slave line connection
Connect the slave clock to terminal the L1 (LINE1). Set the type of slave line depending
on the type of clock
Fig.: Connection of clock to unified pulse line
Fig.: Connection of digital clock to system of unified time
2.5 DCF connection
The DCF receiver serves for fully automatic adjustment and synchronization of time
using the DCF radio signal with a coverage within the diameter of 1500 km around the
Germany city Frankfurt am Main. Comprehensive information about time and date is then
transmitted into the DCF transmitter located in Mainflingen near to Frankfurt. The
transmitter transmits long-wave signals at 77.5 kHz frequency. The DCF receiver
guarantees absolutely precise time data with automatic transition to the summer time.
Generally the DCF receiver is supplied with 10 m long
cable, but it can be located also at a longer distance, in
which case it is advisable to connect it via a twisted pair of
up to 200 m. Do not install the receiver close to buildings
consisting of metallic steel structures, near to PCs, TV and
radio receivers or in places surrounded with thick walls or
into underground or cellar areas.
2.6 GPS Antenna connecting
The magnetic GPS antenna can be connected
to the HN 61 variant.
