IRIG Port

IRIG time code signal connections are located on the rear panel. When a valid time code signal is
detected at the port, it is used to synchronize the clock function. Note that the IRIG time code signal
received from older IRIG receivers does not contain year information. If this is the case, it will be
necessary to enter the date manually. Year information is stored in nonvolatile memory so that when
operating power is restored after an outage and the clock is re-synchronized the current year is restored.
When the clock rolls over to a new year, the year is automatically incremented in nonvolatile memory. A
pre-alarm is annunciated for loss of IRIG signal. The pre-alarm monitors for IRIG signal loss once a valid
signal is detected at the IRIG port.

Connections

IRIG connections are located on the terminal block closest to the USB port. Terminal designations and
functions are shown in Table 83.
