7 System Installation
The internal DCF77 antenna enables the DCF600USB to be synchronized even without an external DCF77
antenna. However, given that indoor reception can be problematic, we do recommend connecting an external
antenna. For more information, please refer to the chapter "Installation of the DCF77 Antenna".
The cables are connected as follows:
1.
Once the driver software is installed, connect the (optional) DCF77 antenna to the antenna socket
on the DCF600USB.
2.
Using the USB cable included with the product, connect the DCF600USB to the PC to be synchronized.
In addition to synchronizing the clock of the PC, this cable is also used to power the DCF600USB
and as a management interface for the configuration of the device.
3.
As soon as the USB connection is established, the device will begin to initialize ("Init" LED
turns blue).
Example of Usage:
The diagram below shows an example of how a DCF600USB is used to perform synchronization using a signal
from a DCF77 antenna (AW02).
