4 Introduction

This Setup Guide provides you with step-by-step guidance on how to set up your Meinberg product for the

ﬁrst time.

This compact device is integrated in a plastic enclosure that is designed to be mounted on a DIN rail. It

features four LEDs that provide status information, for example by signaling demodulation of time signal and

indicating the synchronization status of the device.

The DCF600HS radio clock has an RS-232 interface (optionally a RS-485 interface) for communication and

conﬁguration, as well as two optocoupler-isolated programmable pulse outputs in the form of screw terminals.

These output a pulse per second and pulse per minute signal respectively in their default conﬁguration.

The software "Meinberg Device Manager" can be used to output diﬀerent signals through these outputs. The

module is powered by a DC power source via the screw terminals marked VDD and GND.

How It Works

The signal from the DCF77 antenna passes through the antenna connector to a narrowband direct receiver,

which in turn transfers the demodulated time markers to the DCF600HS’s microcontroller. The microcontroller

decodes the time markers provided by the receiver circuit and uses this data to generate accurate date and time

information. If the time data is successfully decoded without any errors, the information is also subjected to a

plausibility check using two consecutive time strings. If this plausibility check is also successful, the internal

software clock is adjusted to the decoded time.

Manual Revisions

Meinberg products are subject to ongoing development even after their market release, with new features

and enhancements added on a regular basis via ﬁrmware and software updates. Meinberg also revises its

product manuals to account for these feature updates.

This version of the manual has been prepared based on the feature set of Firmware Version dcf600_hsrs.300

of your DCF600HS as well as Meinberg Device Manager Version 7.1. When using a diﬀerent software or

ﬁrmware version, there may be noticeable diﬀerences, for example in the presentation and availability of the

status information and options as shown in Chapter 12 ("Conﬁguration of the DCF600HS").

5 Presentation Conventions in this Manual

5.1 Conventions for the Presentation of Critical Safety Warnings

Warnings are indicated with the following warning boxes, using the following signal words, colors, and symbols:

Caution!

This signal word indicates a hazard with a low risk level. Such a notice refers to a procedure or other

action that may result in minor injury if not observed or if improperly performed.

Warning!

This signal indicates a hazard with a medium risk level. Such a notice refers to a procedure or other

action that may result in serious injury or even death if not observed or if improperly performed.

Danger!

other action that will very likely result in serious injury or even death if not observed or if improperly

performed.

5.2 Secondary Symbols Used in Safety Warnings

Some warning boxes may feature a secondary symbol that emphasizes the deﬁning nature of a hazard or risk.

The presence of an "electrical hazard" symbol is indicative of a risk of electric shock or

lightning strike.

The presence of a "fall hazard" symbol is indicative of a risk of falling when performing

work at height.

Das Symbol "laser hazard" symbol is indicative of a risk relating to laser radiation.

standings is provided in this form.

5.4 Generally Applicable Symbols

The following symbols and pictograms are also used in a broader context in this manual and on the product.

The presence of the "ESD" symbol is indicative of a risk of product damage caused by

electrostatic discharge.

Direct current (DC) (symbol deﬁnition IEC 60417-5031)

Alternating current (AC) (symbol deﬁnition IEC 60417-5032)

Ground connection (symbol deﬁnition IEC 60417-5017)

Protective earth connection (symbol deﬁnition IEC 60417-5019)
