1.1 General
The RCS-9785C/D is a Satellite-Synchronized Unit with built-in GPS receiver module. It receives
the timing messages through built-in GPS receiver module or IRIG-B standardized timing code
through one of the two input channels, decodes and converts the timing code, and then outputs
clock synchronization signals to the whole station. The output clock synchronization signals can
be IRIG-B signals, pulse per second (abbreviated as PPS) signals, pulse per minute (abbreviated
as PPM), pulse per minute (abbreviated as PPH) signals and timing messages. It also can provide
Ethernet clock synchronization service (abbreviated as CSS) for the bay units that need the
service. The Ethernet CSS can work in the dual Ethernet mode.
Because of adopting the built-in GPS receiver module, this equipment can receive the clock
synchronization signals from this module at first. If this module has no signals to send out, the
RCS-9785C/D also can receive this type of clock synchronization signals from the external timing
source through the input channels. In case where all GPS signals and external IRIG-B clock
synchronization input are lost, the device can deliver clock synchronization signals based on its
own clock.
The RCS-9785C has one GPS receiver module, while the RCS-9785D is equipped with dual
redundant GPS receiver modules to ensure reliability.
A typical application of RCS-9785C/D in a certain RCS-9700 SAS or PCS-9700 SAS is shown as
below.

1.2 Features
Realize a precision with respect to 1s for IRIG-B/PPS/PPM/PPH time signals (excluding the
propagation delay time on the cable). The pulse front edges of these time signals are less than
50ns.
The inaccuracies of IRIG-B/PPS/PPM/PPH output signals of RS-485 and TTL are 100ns.
The inaccuracies of IRIG-B/PPS/PPM/PPH output signals of optic-coupled dry (potential-free)
contacts are 3s.
The RCS-9785C/D can provide electrical (including RS-232/RS-485, TTL, and AC modulation) or
optical output clock synchronization signals. The clock synchronization signals supports IRIG-B,
PPS, PPM, PPH and etc.
Equipped with enough ports for output, the time distribution can be made to multiple devices
separated from each other by a maximum of 1km (when the optical ports are applied). The
RCS-9785E can be used to multiply time synchronizing pulse to meet the demands if required.
High reliability
Adoption of high-integration circuits and modular design technology in the RCS-9785C/D simplify
the system and enhance the reliability of the device.

3.1 Overview
The modular design of the RCS-9785C/D allows flexible configuration and thereby customized
clock synchronization solutions. The RCS-9785C/D receives the standardized clock
synchronization signals from the built-in GPS receiver module or external input channels. The
GPS module can decode the IRIG-B time codes and get accurate current time. Then it converts
the current time to IRIG-B, PPS, PPM, PPH signals or timing message, and sends them to the
MON module and other expansion modules through the inner bus of the RCS-9785C/D. The
MON module can provide Ethernet clock synchronization service (CSS) through dual Ethernet
mode. All the expansion modules can provide various output interfaces for connecting with other
devices, which need the clock synchronization service (CSS).
The following figure shows the operation theory of the RCS-9785C.

The device has a clock chip in the GPS module. On the assumption that the local clock is in
service, if the RCS-9785C/D can not receive any correct clock synchronization signals from the
input channels and the built-in GPS receiver mode, the local clock will be put into operation as the
clock source; otherwise the one of the external inputs or the built-in GPS receiver module is the
clock source, and the device refreshes the clock chip at intervals of one minute by using the
received clock synchronization signals. In the case that the local clock is not in service, if the
RCS-9785C/D can not receive correct clock synchronization signals from the input channels and
the built-in GPS receiver module, this device will have no signal to send out.

In normal case, each device can receive the standardized clock synchronization signals from its
built-in GPS receiver module, and send out various clock synchronization signals through various
mediums (such as RS-485, RS-232, TTL, optical fiber etc.). If one of the 2 devices can not track
the satellites, the one who can not track the satellites will use the external clock synchronization
signals from other device as the clock source. If the 2 devices can not track the satellites together,
the system will use the masters local clock as the clock source. On the assumption that the
masters local clock can not work normally, the system will use the slaves local clock as the clock
source.

4.1 Overview
The modular design of the RCS-9785C/D allows flexible configuration, thereby the RCS-9785C/D
can provides customized clock synchronization solutions.
There are several types of hardware modules in the RCS-9785C/D; each module takes a different
part in the RCS-9785C/D. The RCS-9785C/D mainly consists of power supply module, MON
module, GPS module, fiber optical output module, RS-485 output module, RS-232 output module,
TTL output module and optic-coupled dry (potential-free) contact output module etc.
The GPS module is responsible for receiving and processing of IRIG-B time code, and other
modules are used to expand the output of various clock synchronization signals. Configuring the
jumper on each expansion can select the output signals of the relevant expansion module.

Note! For the same channel, only one input mode can be selected: fiber input or
differential input. If the fiber mode is selected, the relevant differential input must be unconnected
and be set as TTL operation mode. On the other side, if the differential mode is selected, the
relevant optical input must be unconnected and be set as idle-light-on operation mode. See
Chapter 6 for more details.
There are some jumpers on this module for various purposes.
The jumpers JP1 and JP2 are special for the terminal resistors of the channel A and channel B
respectively. If one of them is connected, the relevant terminal resistor will put into operation.
The jumper J3 is used to download the program. When it is connected, downloading the program
is permitted. In normal operation, J3 must be unconnected. Other jumpers on this module are
reserved and must be unconnected.
The location of these jumpers on the GPS module is shown in the following figure.
Note! In normal operation, the jumper J3 must be unconnected; otherwise the GPS
module can not work normally.

The jumpers JP1 to JP7 are special for the terminal resistors of the No.1 to No.7 channels. If one
of them is connected, the relevant terminal resistor will put into operation.
The jumper JP20, JP21, JP22, JP23 and JP24 are used to configure the output signals of the first
group, and the jumper JP9, JP10, JP11, JP12 and JP13 have the same function for the output
signals of the second group. If one of these jumpers is connected in each group, the output signals
of the relevant group are selected.

Some illuminations and useful proposals about these errors are described as below:
It denotes that this device can not detect the GPS module. Check whether the GPS module is
equipped reliably in the enclosure of this device. After ensuring this module is reliably equipped,
restart this device.
It denotes that this device can not detect the GPS receiver chip. A fatal error may exist in the GPS
module. Contacting us or our local agent is necessary.
52
No satellite is tracked
It denotes that this device can not track any satellites. Check whether the GPS antenna is installed
correctly, and keep the antenna in correct position.
It denotes that this device can not correct clock synchronization signals from the corresponding
input channel. Check whether the input is wired correctly, whether the relevant settings about this
input channel are set correctly.
It denotes that the corresponding IP address is not configured correctly. Setting the IP address
again according to the engineering configuration is very necessary.

TTL, and RS-485 means that the reception mode of relevant electrical channel is RS-485.
5) To reduce the time delay error that is brought in the transmission procedure, sometime it is
necessary to take the length of the transmission cable into account. No.7, No.8, No.15 and No.16
items are used to set the channel cable length of each input channel. The RCS-9785C/D can
calculate out the time delay based on the transmission length parameters, and make the clock
have a minimal error to the local standard time.
Note! For the same channel, only one input mode can be selected: optical or electrical. If
the optical mode is selected, the relevant electrical input must be unconnected and be set as TTL
operation mode. On the other side, if the electrical mode is selected, the relevant optical input
must be unconnected and be set as idle-light-on operation mode.

7.1 Timing Message over Serial Communication
The RCS-9785C/D can send out timing messages via various expansion modules to other devices,
which need clock synchronization service (CSS). The device sends out timing messages at
intervals of one second. The transmissions of the timing messages are based on the serial
communication. The parameters of the serial communication are listed as below.

satellites through which the built-in GPS receiver module can receive the standardized clock
synchronization signals. When the device receives external timing source IRIG-B time code, in
which GPS synchronism label bit is valid, then t=1, indicating that time info in this message is
synchronized with GPS; if this bit is invalid, then t=0. When timing source IRIG-B is interrupted or
lost, the device can still output timing info for 5s and in the timing message at this time, t=0.
Checkout byte C is the result of exclusive XOR byte by byte starting from No.2 byte in the
message (i.e. H) to No.150 byte (i.e. the byte immediately before check byte C).

Note! It is necessary to leave enough space top and bottom of the cut-out in the cubicle for
heat emission of the RCS-9785C/D.
As mentioned former (Chapter 4 Hardware Description), up to 16 modules are installed in the
RCS-9785C/D, and these modules must be plugged into the proper slots of the RCS-9785C/D
respectively. The safety instructions must be abided by when installing the modules, see Section
9.2 Safety Instructions. The following figure shows the installation way that a module is being
plugged into a corresponding slot.
In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have

Pay attention when laying optical fiber cables not to bend or twist them when unrolling them or to
damage the protective caps etc., on the ends. Should in spite of taking all precautions, a cable be
damaged, it must be repaired immediately. Strictly observe the minimum permissible bending
radius.
WARNING! The bending radius influences the attenuation of an optical fiber cable.
Since depending on its mechanical constructions, the characteristics of an optical fiber
cable are influenced to a greater or lesser extent by the ambient temperature, the
temperature must be taken into consideration when determining the route. The
temperature conditions for laying or rewinding an optical fiber cable are only fulfilled, if the
cable was not exposed to a temperature outside the permissible range during the
preceding 12 hours.
WARNING! It is recommended that optical fiber cables be laid in plastic cable ducts.
Fitting cable connectors
Refer to the instructions provided with the installation kit for the procedure for fitting cable
connectors to optical fiber cables.

antenna as far as possible from other antennas. If the antenna is located within one
meter from other antennas, it may not be possible to receive the GPS signal correctly.
Because of outdoors installation, a surge arrestor is required as a measure against induced
surges due to lightening. This is not effective against a direct lightening strike. The arrestor should
be installed at the point where the coaxial cable from the antenna enters the building.
The surge arrester must be installed between the antenna and the GPS receiver module. The
surge arrestor must have its own direct connection to earth and must not share an earth
connection with other equipment. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in risk of
electric shock at time of lightening strike.
The following figure shows the approximate demo about the connection of the surge arrester.

The antenna should be fixed to a support pole with clamps and U bolts. An example installation of
the antenna that is specified for the RCS-9785C, using the accompanying clamps, is shown in the
following figure.
