PRODUCT OPTION
IRIG-B GPS Time Synchronization The IRIG‐B option is available with all PowerLogic® ION8600 meters. These meters accept unmodulated IRIG‐B time code via twisted pair, compatible with the IRIG‐B00x format. The standard is outlined in the IRIG‐STANDARD 200‐98 “IRIG Serial Time Code Formats” prepared by the Timing Committee, Telecommunications and Timing Group, Range Commanders Council. IRIG‐B is the industry standard for GPS time synchronization. Power Industry‐ specific IRIG‐B applications include: 1.
Power Quality monitoring and sequence of events recording.
2.
Highly accurate time stamping for revenue billing (1ms).
3.
System stability monitoring.
NOTE This option requires a receiver capable of unmodulated IRIG-B time code output (not included).
All IRIG‐B equipped meters are configured in the factory to synchronize via GPS using unmodulated IRIG‐B time code data. You cannot configure IRIG‐B from the meter’s front panel. See “Configuring IRIG‐ B” on page 2 for configuration details. See the ION Reference for a detailed description of the Clock Module. Specifications

CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTION
Configuring IRIG-B
IRIG-B Time Synchronization
Configuring IRIG-B All IRIG‐B equipped meters are set by default to synchronize via IRIG‐B. Operation is controlled by the Clock module’s Timesync Source and Clock Source registers. Use ION Setup or ION Enterprise to confirm your IRIG‐B settings. See the ION Reference for more details on the Clock Module.
Using the front panel You cannot configure IRIG‐B via the meter’s front panel.
