Chapter 7
Timing, IRIG-B and Pulses
7.1
Introduction
This section should help you with understanding, choosing and connecting the correct outputs from
the Model 1088B series clocks to synchronize equipment, such as protective relays. It should also
answer some basic questions, such as:
•
What are the different types of IRIG-B, and how are they different?
•
How do you connect multiple devices to one timing output?
•
How far can you transmit timing signals?
•
What type of cabling and connectors should I use?
Often, questions arise about how many loads the output driver will support, how they should be
connected, and how to connect cabling between the clock and the relay. Certain protective relays,
or digital fault recorders may use a different style connector than available at the clock outputs.
Finally, simple questions about which type of cabling (coax or a twisted pair) is best. This section
should help to answer these common questions.
The steps involved in getting your devices synchronized to the Model 1088B are fairly simple and
should not take long to complete. To expedite the process, make sure that you know:
1. the type of timing signal each piece of equipment requires, and
2. how to enable the equipment to receive the timing signal.
Various methods are used to configure equipment for IRIG-B including setting a physical jumper, or
setup program. Some equipment can auto detect the timing signal, so that nothing else is required
other than connecting the cable.
