Programmable Pulse (PROG PULSE)
Models 1084A/B/C series clocks have an independent programmable pulse feature that requires
some jumper and firmware configuration. Models 1084B/C may be configured from the front panel
and 1084A must be configured through the RS-232 port. Programmable pulse modes include setting
the pulse width and time zone. To configure, please see Sections 5.2 and 6.7.

Connecting Outputs
All clocks come equipped with BNC female connectors, however if you are using twisted pair cabling,
you can use a BNC breakout. See the reference below
, or other similar adapter.
NOTE: If using a shielded, twisted-pair cable (like Belden 8760), DO NOT connect the cable shield
at the clock. Always connect a cable shield at the receiving equipment (IED) grounding point.
7.4.1
Attaching Cables to Screw Terminals
Some of the option boards mounted in the Model 1084A/B/C series clocks have screw terminals
instead of BNC connectors to connect wiring. To mount wiring to screw terminals, prepare the
twisted pair cable by stripping back at least 1/4” of the insulation and any shielding; DO NOT
tin the bare wire. Tighten the screws down on the wire. Do not ground the shield to the Arbiter
clock, rather ground it at the receiving end.
7.4.2
How Far Can I Run IRIG-B Cabling?
Before laying cable to transmit IRIG-B over long distances, take time to consider the following
factors: (1) resistive losses in cabling, (2) electromagnetic interference, (3) propagation delays and
(4) installation and maintenance costs.
For details on distributing IRIG-B signals over long distances, see application note, AN101, Dis-
tributing Timing Signals in a High-EMI Environment. Download file appnote101.pdf at the follow-
ing link below.
