General description
The WDP-AMP is an electronic quartz Impulse Amplifier for operating and control of analogue and digital
Slave Clocks. The impulse amplifier is intended for amplification of polar reversing impulses or hard wired
DCF Time Code, TC. and it can work in sync. or slave mode.
The unit is equipped with electronic fuse and transient protection. The electronic fuse is tripped in case of
overload on the impulse output. After resetting the alarm, the connected clocks are set to the correct time by
rapid impulses.
In case of power failure the built in Real Time Clock keeps the internal time updated.
Connected Slave Clocks are automatically corrected by rapid impulsing when power returns.
Summer/winter time correction (daylight saving) is pre-programmed and, if the amplifier is used in sync. mode,
the correction is done fully automatic.

Calculation of cable area in time systems
General
To make a time system with impulse operated analogue and digital slave clocks perform satisfactory, the cable
from the Impulse Amplifier to the Slave Clocks need to be dimensioned correctly.
A 10% voltage drop is allowed in the cable.
The length and area of the cable and also the current (load) on the cable affect the voltage drop.
Formula
A = l x I x k
A = Area [mm
2
]
l = cable length [m]
I = current [A]
k = 0,015 [constant]
Power consumption
Impulse Slave Clocks
Analogue clocks minute ≤400 mm: 7,5 mA
Analogue clocks minute ≤900 mm: 15 mA
Analogue clocks minute + sweep seconds hand ≤400 mm: 25 mA
Digital Clocks: 4 mA
Time-Code (TC) Slave Clocks
Analogue clocks minute ≤400 mm: 14 mA
Analogue clocks minute ≤900 mm: 20 mA
Analogue clocks minute + sweep seconds hand ≤400 mm, indoor: 12 mA
Analogue clocks minute + sweep seconds hand ≤400 mm, outdoor: 20 mA
Analogue clocks minute + sweep seconds hand ≤900 mm: 27 mA
Example
A time system consists of 40 pcs. analogue clocks with diameter 300 mm.
The power consumption will then be 40 x 7,5 = 300 mA = 0,3A.
Cable length is 100 metres.
A = 100 x 0,3 x 0,015 = 0,45 mm
2
Choose a cable with an area of at least 0,45 mm

Synchronisation input
General
The Impulse Amplifier is equipped with a synchronisation input intended for connection to an external
synchronisation source. The synchronisation source can be a Master Clock transmitting polar reversing impulses
or hard wired DCF Time Code, TC.
The amplifier can work in either synchronisation (sync) or slave mode.
Glossary
Sync. mode: The Amplifier will continue to send out pulses even if the synchronisation source is defect.
Slave mode: The Amplifier will stop sending out pulses if the synchronisation source is defect.
The Impulse Amplifier is factory prepared for sync. mode.
Remark
When using sync. mode it is essential that the time and date is correctly entered when the Impulse Amplifier is
started for the first time.
Entered time must not differ more than +/- 30 seconds compared to the time of the Master Clock.
The date information is used by the amplifier to do the summer/winter change.

1. Programming
General
Using 6 buttons and a 2-row 16-character display carries out all programming.
Programming is self-instructive and to simplify the dialogue Yes/No questions are used.
Running mode
When the Impulse Amplifier is in operation it shows date
and time in the display.
This is called running mode in this documentation.
LTs = Local Time summer.
LTw = Local Time winter.

language has to be entered. Press NO until requested
language occurs in the display e.g. English. Accept with YES.
Press NO until correct country code occurs.
For Finland, select FIN. Accept with YES.
Set, by using the arrows, the right time format i.e. year, month, day and hour
but a few minutes in advance.
Wait for the right time and synchronise using YES.
Now the question: SLAVE CLOCK 12.00?
If the Slave Clocks show 12.00, answer YES, if not set the time shown by
the slave clocks. Accept using YES.
Accept using YES.
The Impulse Amplifier is now in running mode.
NOTE! If a slave clock runs out by a minute, its cabling must be pole changed and
the slave clock to be corrected manually.
NOTE! If the time of the slave clocks is ahead of correct/present time the Impulse Amplifier
Programmer will wait until correct time corresponds with the slave clocks.

Slave Clock
This function is used to enter the time that the slave clocks are showing.
This is useful if, by some reason, the Impulse Amplifier and the slave clocks should show different times.
When the slave clock time has been entered, the Impulse Amplifier will automatically adjust the slave clocks to
correct time.
Please note that before using this function make sure that all connected slave clocks are showing the same time.
If any of the slave clocks are showing a divergent time this clock must be manually adjusted to the same time as
the other clocks.
The impulses to the slave clocks are temporarily stopped when entering this function.
Select function using ↓.
Enter the programming mode with YES.
SLAVE CLOCK = 09.07? (Example)
If the slave clocks shows 09.07 answer YES,

Alarms
The Impulse Amplifier is equipped with several supervision facilities to detect functional disturbances.
When a functional disturbance is detected the following will happen:
•Red alarm LED is lit.
•Alarm relay* is activated.
•An alarm message is displayed in function ALARM.
The function ALARM is used to display and erase (clear) alarm messages.
Type of alarm Indication Reason for alarm Action

CURRENT LOW Red alarm LED lit. Impulse current below
alarm limit.
Check the load on the impulse
output. If OK, check that the alarm
limit is correctly configured.
If OK, clear the alarm.
CURRENT HIGH Red alarm LED lit. Impulse current above

Check the load on the impulse
output. If OK, check that the alarm
limit is correctly configured.
If OK, clear the alarm.
POWER DOWN Red alarm LED lit.
Works only if the Impulse
Amplifier is equipped
with batteries for running
reserve.
By some reason the
power to the Impulse
Amplifier has been
switched off.
Check the mains.
If OK, clear the alarm.
