11.2 Timing Output
– IRIG-B / IEEE 1344 C37.118-2005
11.2.1 Introduction:
This section should help you with understanding, choosing and connecting the correct output from the
mas
TER
T-Sync
model MTS200 to synchronize equipments, such as relays, breakers, meters etc. Often,
questions arise about how output port should be connected, and how to connect cabling between model
MTS200 and the relay. Certain protective relays or digital fault recorders may use a different style
connector than available at model MTS200 outputs. This section will help to answer some common
questions, like which type of cabling should be used? Coaxial or a twisted pair etc.
The steps involved in getting your devices synchronized to the model MTS200 are fairly simple and
should not take long to complete. To expedite the process, make sure that you know:
1. The type of timing signal each piece of equipment requires, and
2. How to enable the equipment to receive the timing signal.
Various methods are used to configure equipment for IRIG-B including setting a physical jumper, or setup
program. Some equipment can auto detect the timing signal, so that nothing else is required other than
connecting the cable.
11.2.2 Time Code Output:
This section will describe IRIG-B Time Code also availability of the same in model MTS200 also
configuration for the same.

model MTS200 can generate different no of digital as well as
analog signals as described in this section. Model MTS200 has also the facility to have optional card in
model. Optional cards will have the same IRIG-B Time Code output, as on the standard output port.
