1 Getting Started
1.1 Description
RT431 - Time Signal Distributor is an electrical signal multiplier. It multiplies IRIG-B demodulated, PPS or
any signal with a voltage between 0 and 5 V d.c., to frequencies up to 5 MHz, through electrical and optical
outputs, allowing the synchronization of IEDs. The equipment ensures time accuracy based on the accuracy of
the time reference source that is being used in the input.
The equipment has up to 10 electrical outputs with a 150 mA individual supply capacity and up to 10 optical
outputs for multimode fiber and ST connector.
It also has frontal indicators for monitoring the received synchronism signal and voltage of the primary supply.
1.2 Unpacking
Unpack the equipment carefully and make sure all the accessories and cables are put aside so they will not
be lost. Check the contents against the packing list that goes with the product. If any of the content listed is
missing, please contact Reason (see contact information at the beginning of this manual).
Examine the equipment for any shipping damage. If the equipment is damaged or fails to operate, notify the
shipping company without delay. Only the consignee (the person or company receiving the equipment) can file
a claim against the carrier for shipping damage.
We recommend you keep the original packing materials for eventual future transport.
