Model 1202B/C delivers better than 100 ns accuracy and includes the most highly sought after features in a precision time clock as standard plus many enhancements.

There are a total of six BNC outputs. Three have ± 75 mA of drive current and are jumper selectable to unmodulated IRIG-B, modulated IRIG-B, 1 PPS, programmable pulse, or event input. Three have ± 125 mA of drive current and are software configurable to independent programmable pulse modes (IRIG-B unmodulated, Seconds Per Pulse, Hourly Pulse, Daily Pulse, One Shot, DCF-77). The Model 1202B/C is capable of driving multiple loads in parallel.

Two SPDT (form C) fail-safe relays are also included and are configurable to Out-of-Lock, Fault, Alarm, Stabilized, or Programmable Pulse.

Like other Arbiter clock models, various options are available to add features such as NTP/PTP (Network Time Protocol/Precision Time Protocol [IEEE 1588]) support, four additional configurable outputs, high drive IRIG-B outputs, power system time, frequency, and Phase Monitor functions, one Form C (SPDT) fail-safe, LOCKED relay that is compatible with 129 Vdc digital fault recorder inputs; plus many more.

Model 1202B/C is available with two front panel configurations (see photos and Key Features tab). Each product includes the GNSS antenna and cable, a terminal power strip, and a rack mount kit, all backed by a Five Year Limited Warranty to the original owner/purchaser.

  • Accuracy of ± 100 ns
  • Standard: Unmodulated IRIG-B, modulated IRIG-B, 1 PPS, and Two Form C (SPDT) fail-safe relays(Out-of-Lock, Fault, Alarm, Stabilized, or Programmable Pulse)
  • Options include an internal NTP/PTP server, High Drive IRIG-B outputs, and Power System Time, Frequency and Phase Monitor
  • 1202C includes both the operating status LEDs, the LCD display and keypad, and includes a large LED time display.
  • IEEE C37.118.1-2011 compliant for Synchrophasor use.

Enhancements

  • Enhanced Performance and Security (EPS)
    • EPS benefits include multi-system timing sources (GPS/ GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou), standard holdover oscillator, multiple levels of security, secure communications, and anti-spoofing technology
  • Redundant power supply available
  • Second serial port standard
  • IRIG-B compliant with IEEE Std. C37.118.1-2011

Updates are not security related.

Released 23May2017

1. Updates CLOI to 1.11. The new CLOI reduces the load on the option board CPU which allows it to serve more PTP clients.

2.08_update-00.08

Updates are not security related.

Released: 11Jan2017

1. Updates sys_monitor-01.05. The new sys_monitor corrects a bug in the frequency tuning algorithm that results in high system time offsets on some units. Whether or not a system is susceptible to this bug depends on the initial frequency of the on-board oscillator prior to tuning. It is likely that a system showing low offset now will continue to work. However, to be safe, the update is recommended.
