DANGER: HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
- Only qualified workers should install this equipment. Such work should be performed only after reading this entire set of instructions.
- Never work alone.
- Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this equipment, disconnect all sources of electric power. Assume all circuits are live until they have been completely de-energized, tested, and tagged. Pay particular attention to the design of the power system. Consider all sources of power, including the possibility of backfeeding.
- Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical practices. For example, in the USA, see NFPA 70E.
- Turn off all power supplying the equipment in which the device is to be installed before installing and wiring the device.
- Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
- Beware of potential hazards, wear PPE, and carefully inspect the work area for tools and objects that may have been left inside the equipment.
- The successful operation of this equipment depends upon proper handling, installation, and operation. Neglecting fundamental installation requirements may lead to personal injury as well as damage to electrical equipment or other property.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
Installation
The Time Sync Hub is mounted to a standard DIN rail by engaging the top edge of the rail first and rotating downward to lock the unit into place.
Wiring Recommendations
- 18 AWG (Belden 8760) shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for use for all input and output connections.
- DIN rail should be connected to Earth ground.
- UF-400 ultra-flexible coax cable is recommended for the GPS antenna.
- A surge suppressor (GPS-SS) should be installed as close to the building entrance as possible for the GPS antenna cable.
- The Ethernet communications cable should be CAT5 or better.
STEP 1 – Control Power
The Time Sync Hub can receive control power from either a nominal 24 VDC, 20
VA, Class 2 control power source or a Power over Ethernet, Type 2 (30W)
source.
STEP 2 – Time Signal Input
The Time Sync Hub can receive time synchronization input via Ethernet (PTP or
NTP) or RS-485 (IRIG-B or DCF77). Additionally, the TSH-200 can receive time
input from a GPS antenna or dedicated wiring to a 5 Vdc input (IRIG-B or
DCF77).
GPS Connection
The Time Sync Hub (TSH-200) GNSS (GPS) utilizes a bullet-style antenna (50 ohm
STEP 3 – Time Signal Output(s)
The Time Sync Hub can output multiple time synchronization signals
concurrently via Ethernet (PTP, NTP), RS-485 (IRIG-B or DCF77), 24 Vdc output
(DCF77, IRIG-B, PPS, 1per10), and 5 Vdc output (IRIG-B, DCF77, PPS, 1per10).
Time synchronization outputs may be limited based on the time source input
being utilized. The following table defines allowed configurations
NOTE : Only a one-time output signal may be assigned to a physical port.
(i.e. both IRIG-B and DCF77 cannot be assigned to the 5V output; the RS-485
port cannot concurrently input and output time signals)
