T801-4 Installation and Operation Manual

When activated, this line can disable the 1PPS outputs. Set DIP switch 3
off if you want to disable the 1PPS RS-485 output. Set DIP switch 4 off if
you want to disable the 1PPS TTL output.

The

1PPS VALID

LED on the rear panel will go off whenever this line is

activated.
