1 Safety
1.1 Safety instructions
Read this chapter and the entire instruction manual carefully and follow all instructions listed. This is your assurance for dependable operations and a long life of the device. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place to have it handy every time you need it.

1.2 Symbols and Signal Words used in this Instruction Manual

Danger!
Please observe this safety message to avoid electrical shock! There is danger to life!

Warning!

!

Please observe this safety message to avoid bodily harm and injuries!

!

Caution! Please observe this safety message to avoid damages to property and devices!

Notice! Additional information for the use of the device.

1.3 Intended use The Multi Signal Converter is a device, which can be used to convert and distribute DCF signals.
However, it can also be used for other types of signals. The limitation is given by the frequency of the signals and the signal form. Ideally, the device is used for digital signals. See also chapter 7 Technical data.
Please refer to section - 3.3 Function description - for a detailed function description.

1.4
!
Vorsicht!

Observe operating safety!
· Never open the housing of the device! This could cause an electric short or even a fire, which would damage your device. Do not modify your device!
· The device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory, or mental capacities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge.
· Keep packaging such as plastic films away from children. There is the risk of suffocation if misused.

1.5 Consider the installation site!
· To avoid any operating problems, keep the device away from moisture and avoid dust, heat, and direct sunlight. Do not use the device outdoors.
· The Multi Signal Converter is designed for DIN rails and should only be operated installed on a DIN rail.
Danger! Make sure that you wait before using the device after any transport until the device has reached the ambient air temperature. Great fluctuations in temperature or humidity may lead to moisture within the device caused by condensation, which can cause a short.

! 1.6
Vorsicht!

Observe electromagnetic compatibility!
The device complies with the requirements of EMC directive 2004/108/EC and 96/48/EC

Power input, nom. 24VDC / < 100mA (12V-60V) Remark: Correct +/- polarity required. Internal thermical fuse
Directly wired to DC IN. Used for power cascading to next converter.

Power output for power supply of the GPS/GNSS receiver. Same voltage as DC IN but limited to 30VDC.
DCF input, active current loop input. For the connection of a GNSS receiver (with DCF current loop out) or any other DCF source. 30V / 30mA, current limited, min signal level: approx. 6 mA
Voltage signal input 2-24V, potential against GND, inverted (-) resp. noneinverted (+),or differential connection (RS422) Ref.: Out 2.5VDC, used to define the unused input (+ or -)
4 galvanically separated outputs for current or voltage interfaces: - Passive current loop interface 12mA max. 30V - "Open Collector" application 3-30V
Signal output 5V, transparent resp. inverted or as RS422 output Signal cascading to next "Multi Signal Converter"
Option: Fiber optic in- and output 1Hz - 10MHz (820nm / ST Port)

Inversion of the output signals "DCF OUT" and "FO OUT" Jumper position: "OUT" = Signal transparent, "OUT" = Signal invertiert

green: power supply

yellow: signal activity (DCF, SIG IN, FO IN).

Flashes to the beat of input signal or with approx. 20Hz at higher frequency

   

Important !
The signal inputs are "OR" connected. This means, only one input must be used.



Signal-Inversion The "Multi Signal Converter"

works in transparent mode by

default, i.e. the signal polarity at

the output is the same as at the

input.

The jumper for signal inversion

should only be repositioned in

special cases.

The inversion only takes place

for "DCF OUT" and "FO OUT".

The output "TTL OUT" is not af-



 

fected since the signal is already



available in inverted form (-).
