Input Alarms
The PRS input is inhibited when a contact closure (less than 1 Ω) is present across
the PRS Alarm In connection.
Output Alarms
The output alarm connector is on the Input module, and can be either a DB25
connector or wire-wrap pins. See
Making Alarm Connections, on page 63, for a
pinout diagram of the DB-25 connector. Table 7-6 describes the contact closure for
the alarm outputs.
Power
Dual power supplies from –36 to –72 V DC. Table 7-7 lists the maximum and typical
power consumption using crystal and Rubidium IOCs.
Symmetricom recommends that you use a 5 A fuse for the power supply to the
TimeProvider shelf.
