that the rising edge is “on time” as compared with the signal from the Global Positioning System
(GPS). It has the same drive power as any other digital signal available from the 1088B. See
Figure 7.2 for a comparison between unmodulated IRIG-B and 1 PPS.
7.3.5
Programmable Pulse (PROG PULSE)
The Model 1088B has an independent programmable pulse feature that requires setting a jumper
on the main board and configuring the pulse mode through the SETUP menus or RS-232 port.
Programmable pulse modes include setting the pulse width (except for Single Trigger and Slow
Code modes) and time zone. To configure, please see Sections 5.2 and 6.7.

Connecting Outputs
All clocks come equipped with BNC female connectors, however if you are using twisted pair cabling,
you can use a BNC breakout. See the reference below
, or other similar adapter.
NOTE: If using a shielded, twisted-pair cable (like Belden 8760), DO NOT connect the cable shield
at the clock. Always connect a cable shield at the receiving equipment (IED) grounding point.
7.4.1
Attaching Cables to Screw Terminals
Some of the option boards mounted in the Model 1088B have screw terminals instead of BNC
connectors to connect wiring. To mount wiring to screw terminals, prepare the twisted pair cable
by stripping back at least 1/4” of the insulation and any shielding; DO NOT tin the bare wire with
solder. Tighten the screw down on the wire. Do not ground the shield to the Arbiter clock, rather
ground it at the receiving end.
7.4.2
How Far Can I Run IRIG-B Cabling?
Before laying cable to transmit IRIG-B over long distances, take time to consider the following
factors: (1) resistive losses in cabling, (2) electromagnetic interference, (3) propagation delays and
(4) installation and maintenance costs.
