Connection#
The AD 650 DCF receiver is delivered with a 10 m cable. The maximum length of the cable depends on its cross-section (at least 0.25 mm²) and can be up to 200 m. We recommend using shielded cable only in critical conditions.
The functionality of the receiver is independent of the connection polarity. Cut the cable to the required length.
With good reception, the LED on the receiver flashes once per second with a skip of 1 pulse at the 59th second.
Caution
Do not install the receiver close to buildings consisting of metallic steel structures, near to PCs, TV and radio receivers or in places surrounded with thick walls or into underground or cellar areas.
Connection to Master Clock#
Connect the AD 650 DCF receiver to the master clock terminal board (+DCF- terminal).

Note
In case of issues with receiving the DCF signal when using the AD 650 / DCF 4500 receiver, it is necessary to ground (connect to PE) one of the signals/inputs (LINES+ or LINES-).
For the ECO-DC clock, it is always necessary to ground one (connect to PE) of the signals/inputs (LINES+ or LINES-).
