Active alarms submenu#

Value(s)

Description

AL:--

If any alarm is not active

AL:xx

xx represents active alarm bit:

0

Synchronization lost in last one hour

6

Device restart

7

NMS communication error

8

Time zone error (season server)

9

NMS authentication error

33*

Empty calibration value (not calibrated)

34*

Synchronization timeout

35*

Not tested (test not passed)

36*

SSL certificates not present

39*

Hardware error – some module or peripheral is not present

To browse between active bits, use >> or PB2.

Alarm bits with * are indicated by state LED.

Internal temperature submenu#

Value(s)

Description

dd°C

dd represents internal temperature in °C

Example: 25 °C

Test results submenu#

Value(s)

Description

PASS

Tested in production with pass result

FAIL

Tested in production with failed result

Not

Not tested in production

Calibration deviation submenu#

Value(s)

Description

-- --

Calibration deviation greater than 1000 ppm

0xxx

Calibration deviation greater than 100 ppm

xx.xx

Calibration deviation less than 100 ppm

Negative deviation is indicated by a lit dot at the first digit.

Currently running calibration is indicated by a flashing decimal point.

Passive DCF diagnostic menu#

xx:yz – display during the minute, i.e. when receiving bits

Value(s)

Description

xx

Number of bits received in the current minute, ideally the counter corresponds to the current seconds value (range 0–58)

y

Value of the last received bit (value 0 or 1)

z

The number of consecutive telegrams received with time that were decoded without error

Range 0–9, value greater than 9 is then displayed with a decimal point, i.e. 9.

At one full minute (or if there is a pause between incoming bits of approx. 2 seconds), i.e. it is assumed that the whole telegram is received, a screen is displayed which shows the result of the telegram processing:

Value(s)

Description

--:-z

Indicates successful processing of the DCF telegram, when z indicates the current value of the counter of consecutive received telegrams

Er:dd

Value dd corresponds to the possible states listed bellow:

0x01

incorrect number of received bits

0x02

missing start bit for the beginning of the telegram

0x04

missing start bit for time reception

0x08

parity error when decoding the minutes value

0x10

parity error when decoding the hours value

0x20

parity error in date decoding

0x40

invalid decoded time range

0x80

invalid decoded date range

Line quality diagnostics submenu#

The individual parameters are displayed as submenu items. You can browse between individual parameters by pressing the >> or PB2.

Value(s)

Description
