Alarm Programmability
New releases of TimeSource (1.05.03 and higher) allows the user to provision the alarm
escalation parameters that were hardcoded in the previous releases of TS3100.hex. The
defaults for this release remain the same as were previously hardcoded. This feature can be
used to set the programmability for such alarms as GPS, HOLDOVER, SPAN-X, and RO-X.
The TS3100 alarms can be programmed for GPS and HOLDOVER types of events. The
SPAN-X alarms can be programmed for AIS, ERROR, and LOS types of events. The RO-X
alarms can be programmed for ERROR and LOS types of events.
The user can set the parameters for SEVERITY1 and SERAFF1 which initially come into
effect when the condition is detected. The user can also set the parameters for SEVERITY2
and SERAFF2 which come into effect after TIME (another user programmable parameter).
Startup
When the TimeSource starts up, the CRIT lamp lights. The CRIT lamp remains on for
approximately 50 seconds to 60 seconds and then shuts off.
During startup, the TimeSource performs several self-tests to verify the integrity of the
hardware and software. Neither communication nor outputs are possible at this time, and the
CRIT lamp is switched on. Once the self-tests are done, a connection to the system can be
made and the events viewed.
Two events are initially provided. These events are:
• “Power Up Restart”
• “Settling Period”
