information referenced to UTC, user ‘local’ time or other
custom time zone. Incorporating ‘Set Once’ technology, the
5200 series units will automatically calculate future seasonal
time changes for all 83 of the preset time location code
settings (where daylight savings changes are implemented).
Setting the location
For installations where the output of the 5200 series master
clock is to be referenced to UTC / GMT, the location code
should be set to 00. For installations where the output of the
5200 series unit is to be referenced to the ‘local’ time zone,
select the appropriate location code from the table opposite.
(e.g. For a unit installed in Birmingham, England, where

Operating and Installation Instructions
6.2 - GPS Synchronisation Setup
The 5200 series master clocks can be configured to synchronise
to GPS time code via 488HS3 GPS receiver to provide a highly
accurate time source.
The 488HS3 GPS receiver system is designed to be
automatically synchronised to time signals transmitted from
the Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation network. The
GPS constellation consists of 28 operational satellites,
operating in 12 hour orbits at an altitude of 20,200km.
The 488HS3 GPS receiver has been designed for simple
installation and operation by the end-user, requiring only a 4
wire interconnection to the 5200 series master clock. When
synchronised to a 488HS3 GPS receiver system, the 5200 series
master clock output signals are maintained within 10uS of
UTC.
The reception gain pattern of both GPS systems is designed
for full, upper hemispherical coverage with the gain
diminishing at low elevations. This cross-section is consistent
through 360 degrees and so the 3 dimensional gain pattern is
a symmetrical spheroid surface.
Advantages of GPS time synchronisation:
• Very accurate synchronisation
• Can be used anywhere in the world
• Better resistance to EM interference
Disadvantages of GPS time synchronisation:
• Antenna needs to be mounted externally with a clear
view of 75% of the sky.
488HS3 System Installation
To ensure ease of operation and to remove the possibility of
operator error, the 488HS3 GPS system is designed to self

1 Install the 488HS3 unit horizontally using the post
mounting kit provided. Ensure that the unit has a clear
view of at least 75% of the sky. If the sky view is
reduced the interval between ‘switch-on’ and system
time synchronisation will be considerably increased.
2 A connection between the 488HS3 and the 5200 series
master clock should be made using the 25 metre four
core cable supplied. If a longer cable distance is
required Appendix A should be consulted for suitable
cable specifications. The maximum distance between
the GPS system and the 5200 series master clock is
200m.
The cable screen should be connected to the EMC
ground connection on the 10 way terminal block,
located on the rear of the 5200 series master clock.
The screen is supplied pre-connected on 488HS3 units
with captive cable connections.
3 The four GPS cable cores should be connected to the
input connections located on the 10 way terminal block
on the rear of the 5200 series master clock, as shown in
the diagram above.
4 Connect the power supply to the 5200 series master
clock.
5 Once the power has been applied the receiver will
automatically begin to search the sky for all available
satellites, during this process the yellow LED will flash.

illuminated and the green LED will flash, indicating
that a precise date and time has been calculated from
the satellite data transmissions. From a ‘cold’ start this
process will typically take less than 10 minutes.
6 Ensure that the 5200 series master clock is configured
to synchronise from the GPS signal as per instruction at
start of section.
Once the green LED has illuminated the synchronising time
signals are transmitted from the GPS system to the 5200 series
master clock. The master clock should lock in and display the
correct time within 5 minutes.
6.3 - MSF and DCF Synchronisation Setup
The 5200 series master clocks can be configured to synchronise
to either MSF or DCF radio time code via either 484.02 or
484.03 radio receivers provide an accurate time source.
MSF and DCF are the two most widely used radio time code
signals. The DCF signal is derived from the atomic clocks at
the Physics Institute of Brunswick and transmitted at a
frequency of 77.5KHz from Manflingen, near Frankfurt in
Germany. The MSF signal is referenced to the Caesium Beam
Oscillators at the National Physical Laboratory and transmitted
on a frequency of 60KHz from Anthorn in the United Kingdom.
Under normal circumstances the DCF signal provides reliable
operation at distances of up to 1500km, MSF signals are
normally usable up to 1000km from the transmitter. Greater
operating ranges are possible at night.
When synchronised to MSF or DCF using a 484 radio receiver
the 5200 series master clock output signals are maintained
within 30mS of UTC.
Advantages of MSF and DCF time synchronisation:
• Lower purchase cost than GPS
• Can sometimes be installed internally.
Disadvantages of MSF and DCF time synchronisation:
• Can be difficult to find good location for signal
reception.
• Suffers greatly from EM interference - Avoid locating
near computers, electronic equipment, fluorescent
lighting, lift equipment, metal girders, reinforced
concrete walls and all other sources of electrical noise.
• MSF is off-air for maintenance on the second Thursday
of every March, June, September and December. MSF
status can be checked at:

making connections to the 484 radio receiver.
fluorescent lights and signs, metal girders,
reinforced concrete walls and any other sources of
electrical noise.
• On the side of the building nearest Anthorn (MSF)
or Frankfurt (DCF).
• Preferably on the outside of the building (484.02
and 484.03 only) as high as possible. The case is
weatherproof to IP65, however it is preferable to
provide some protection from direct rain.
• With the cable entry on the lower face of the case.
(484.02 and 484.03 only)
2 A connection between the 484 and the 5200 series
master clock should be made using the 5 metre two
core cable supplied. If a longer cable distance is
required Appendix A should be consulted for suitable
cable specifications. The maximum distance between
the radio receiver and the 5200 series master clock is
200m.
A Screened cable should be used to connect the 484
radio receiver to the 5200 series master clock in areas
of high electrical noise. The screen should be
connected to the EMC grounding point on 5200 series
master clock only.
3 The two radio receiver cable cores should be connected
to the input connections located on the 10 way terminal
block on the rear of the 5200 series master clock, as
shown in the diagram above.
4 Connect the power supply to the 5200 series master
clock.
5 Ensure that the 5200 series master clock is configured
to synchronise from the MSF or DCF signal as per
instruction at start of section.
Alignment
The 484.02 (MSF) and 484.03 (DCF) radio receivers have dual
ferrite antennas, which normally permit location regardless of
orientation to the transmitter. The receiver is mounted by
means of four fixing holes in the rear surface which are
accessed after removing the front cover. The four mounting
holes are located outside of the central sealed compartment.
The front cover of the 484.02 and 484.03 receivers may be
removed to enable the indicator LED to be viewed.
The alignment of the receiver is correct when the LED flashes
once per second.
Signal reception
In good conditions the 5200 series master clock will take three
minutes to synchronise with the transmitted time code from
either DCF or MSF. When the 5200 series master clock is
‘locked’ to the transmitted signal, the Lock LED, is illuminated
continuously. During periods of signal failure or signal
corruption the clock will maintain timekeeping using its
internal crystal oscillator.

6.4 - IRIG-B Synchronisation Setup
When fitted with the IRIGIN option module, the 5200 series
master clocks can be configured to synchronise to a 1KHz
amplitude modulated IRIG-B signal.
The master clock should be connected to IRIG-B signal via BNC
connector on rear of unit.
To allow the use of non-UTC based IRIG-B signals (i.e. time
information provided is offset from UTC), the master clock
should be programmed with the number of minutes offset
between UTC and the synchronising time signal. Offset range
is between –720 minutes (-12 hours) and +720 minutes (+12
hours) of UTC, selectable in 30 minute increments.

7 - Network Setup
The 5200 and 5201 master clocks can be configured to operate
as an NTP time server on a TCP/IP Computer network.
The master clock should be connected to TCP/IP network via
RJ45 10/100Base-T Ethernet adaptor on rear of unit.
The network settings of the master clock should be configured
as detailed below. The IP address, subnet mask and gateway
address of the master clock is specified by individually
entering the four octets of the address.
Note: If the DHCP setting is set to either Full or Yes, the master
clock will automatically acquire the IP address, subnet mask
and gateway address from the DHCP server. In this
configuration, the master clock shall not display the IP address,
subnet mask and gateway address setting screens.
Supported Protocols
Time Protocol (RFC868)
RFC868 defines the original TIME protocol, which provides site-
independent, machine-readable date and time in response to
a request from a client PC.
When a request is received the 5200 or 5201 master clock
responds with a 32-bit time value corresponding to the
number of seconds since midnight of January 1st 1900. This
representation of time will serve until the year 2036.
Time Protocol is supported in the UDP mode of operation.
(RFC868)
NTP (RFC1305 & RFC1119)
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the most widely used
computer time synchronisation protocol in use today. It
provides a mechanism to both organise a synchronisation
subnet and distribute precise time synchronisation information
to the local clocks of all participating computers. In most parts
of the Internet today it is possible to use NTP to provide
accuracy’s of tens of milliseconds, depending on the
characteristics of the synchronisation source, stratum of
operation, the local network paths and the client software
used.
The NTP standard has been designed so that it can provide
reliable operation with clients and servers of vastly different
specifications and across network paths with diverse delay and
jitter characteristics. Most users of Internet NTP
synchronisation make use of the standard NTP distribution
available from http://www.ntp.org. This software package
includes the full suite of NTP options and algorithms and has
been ported to a wide variety of hardware platforms ranging
from Personal Computers (PC’s) to supercomputers.
We would recommend that, in large hierarchical time
distribution projects, the standard NTP distribution be used on
the Stratum 2 and 3 servers for maximum redundancy and
client availability.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) v2, v3 and v4 clients are
supported in unicast mode of operation. (RFC1305 & RFC1119)
SNTP (RFC2030 & RFC1769)
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is an adaptation of NTP,
which can be used for applications where the ultimate
performance and associated overhead of the full NTP
implementation is not required.
Most PC client software is based on the SNTP specification and
certainly for most intranet applications will provide a higher
degree of accuracy than is required.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) v3 and v4 clients are
supported in unicast mode of operation. (RFC2030 & RFC1769)

network concepts.

8 - zCode Output Setup
The 520x series master clocks are fitted with either one off
zCode output (5201) or two off zCode outputs (5200) for the
synchronisation of digital and/or analogue clocks.
Each zCode output can be configured to provide either w482®
time code for the synchronisation of 4000E or 400A series
digital clocks and 47xA series time zone displays or 24V
alternate polarity impulses.
When both zCode outputs are being implemented (5200 units
only), the setup procedure should be repeated for zCode
output 2.
zCode Status Indicators
Please see Section 11 for details regarding the zCode front
panel indicator LEDs.
zCode Output Configuration
Each zCode output needs to be configured to provide the
required output (e.g. w482® time code, 24V alternate polarity
impulses). The output types are configured via the System
Settings Menu. Following the instructions in Section 10, ensure
that each output is configured correctly.
w482® and 48x0 Time Code
The w482®signal was developed for controlling electronic
clocks, using a single cable pair data interconnection, in
electrically noisy environments. A principal advantage of
w482® is the ability to provide time information in any one of
fifteen different synchronised time zones. All fifteen time
zones can be individually configured from the front panel of
the 5200 series master clock, using ‘Set Once’ technology to
allow automatic seasonal time change correction. The 48x0
signal is transmitted at the same time as the w482 signal but
is UTC based to allow synchronising devices to calculate world
times / UTC offsets locally.
The w482®signal is transmitted at 4-24v amplitude and at a
50 bits per second data rate. The signal is virtually immune to
electro-magnetic interference.
One 5200 series master clocks can control up to fifty off 4000E
or 400A series digital clocks and 47xA series time zone
displays located up to 1km from the master clock unit using a
simple, non-critical cable pair.
w482® Time Code Wiring
The w482®signal is transmitted using a simple two-core cable.
Each digital clock should be connected to the zCode time code
output of the master clock in parallel, in either a 'daisy-chain'
or a 'starwire' configuration. Please see Appendix A for further
details regarding w482®time code interconnecting cable
specifications.

w482® Commissioning
Ensure that the 5200 series master clock is
disconnected from the mains power supply when
making connections to the digital clocks.
1 Connect the 4000E, 400A or 47xA series digital clocks to
the 5200 series master clock’s zCode output terminals
as shown in the diagram above (and relevant digital
clock user manual).
If a screened cable is being used, the screen should be
connected to the EMC ground connection on the 10 way
terminal block, located on the rear of the 5200 series
master clock.
Ensure that the 4000E, 400A or 47xA series digital
clocks are programmed for w482®time code
synchronisation. If the 4000E, 400A or 47xA series
digital clock is to be synchronised by a w482®time
zone which is not Zone 1 (i.e. master clock local time),
program the 4000E, 400A or 47xA series digital clock
accordingly.
Refer to the 4000E, 400A or 47xA series digital clock
operating and installation manual for more details.
2 Connect the power supply to the 5200 series master
clock.
3 Decide what time you want to display on your digital
clocks. If you just want to display Local Time, as
previously programmed during ‘Location Setting’
(Section 5), system is ready for use.
If you have more than one time zone to display or want
to display a different time zone from that set in the
Location Setting, determine the zone location codes
required as per the Location Code table (page 9) and
program w482®Zones ‘2’ - ‘F’ accordingly.

24V Alternate Polarity Impulses
Each zCode output may be programmed by the user for one of
a number of different combinations of pulse length and
repetition rate to drive impulse clocks requiring one second,
half minute or one minute alternate polarity impulses.
The fully protected output drive circuits detect power failure
and short circuit line fault conditions which are automatically
corrected for on fault removal.
Automatic Correction
Automatic time correction following power failures, the
removal of fault conditions and after seasonal time changes is
carried out by increasing the pulse repetition rate or by
stopping the impulses depending on which action will result in
a shorter correction time.
In the 1 second - standard mode the system will take one hour
to correct for each hour that the slave clocks are behind the
master.
In the 1 second - slow correction mode the system will take
approximately one and a half hours to correct for each hour
that the slave clocks are behind the master.
The 1 second - seconds only mode is intended for use with 4
wire slave clocks requiring both minute and second impulses.
24V Alternate Polarity Impulse Wiring
The 24V alternate polarity impulses are transmitted using a
simple two-core cable. Each impulse clock should be
connected to the zCode time code output of the master clock
in parallel, in either a 'daisy-chain' or a 'starwire' configuration.
Please see Appendix A for further details regarding 24V
alternate polarity impulse interconnecting cable specifications.
