SIGMA H
Installation and start-up instructions
3
1) General
The Sigma is a master clock which can be used to control receiver clocks.
The SIGMA has functions which can be programmed from the technician
menu.
On first installation, it is essential to program the technician menu (see
page 21) before the customer menu.
It is also essential when installing the SIGMA to program the technician
functions in the order in which they appear in the menu.
CAUTION :
Any modification on the product renders the guarantee null and void.
4
2) Safety rules
• M
aintenance of this equipment must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
• If the SIGMA is connected to the 230 V mains power supply, its installation
must comply with the European standard IEC 364 (NFC 15.100 for France).
PROTECTIONS :
• 110-230V version: the mains supply for this device must include a neutral
phase circuit breaker of maximum 6 A C curve, rapidly accessible upstream
from the supply.
• 2
4V DC version: the SELV 24 V power supply for this device must include a
protection of maximum 6 A.
• A
ll cables must be attached either to the wall (wall-mounted version) or
to the frame of the cabinet (Rack version) before being connected to the
various terminals strips, to prevent any pulling on these terminal strips. In
addition, the wires of each terminal strips must be attached to each other to
maintain the various isolations if an initial fault occurs.
• T
he time distribution cables must not run alongside high power mains
cables (to avoid interference with communication between the SIGMA and
the clocks).
• T
he SIGMA must be attached (to the wall or on its support) before being
switched on.
• “ Rack” models must be mounted in a slide-in unit for 19” cabinets or racks.
These components will provide mechanical, electrical and fire protection
(only the front panel may remain accessible).

1 Example of Rank calculation: the second Monday of the month or the second Thursday
of the month have rank “2”, while the last Tuesday of June has rank “5” as there are no more
than 5 weeks in a month.

8.1.2 Setting the time base
This menu can be used to set the drift of the time base. This can be useful
when the master clock has no external synchronisation.
Set the drift using the and keys and validate with the key.
This correction is not taken into account when the master clock is
synchronised.

8.2 Time output management menu
This menu can be used to view all the time outputs, modify their status (Start/
Stop), configure the DHF distribution in Init mode and configure the “impulse”
and “D1D2” distribution.
This menu allows you also to configure the impulse output (Impuls 01) to
provide TBT 24VDC (1A) power supply.
To go to the SIGMA time output management
menu, validate the option in the technician Time outputs ok
menu with the key, Function setting õ
The placing of a DHF output in “INIT” status is active for 4 hours before return
to START mode (The init mode display is alternating with the normal display
during this period).
This menu can be used to set the power of the DHF output with a choice of
25mW / 125mW (by default) / 500mW and assign the system address from 1
to 4 (2 by default).
Buzzer mode allows you to activate a buzzer on the secondary transmitters in
order to identify them.

9) Alarm messages
By default, the alarm configuration is :
- Activated: if an alarm is present, a message is displayed on the
readout,
- Alarm relay: relay 3 is activated if an alarm is triggered.
Except for Afnor, DCF and GPS synchronisation failures where alarm is
activated after 24 hours, other alarms are activated immediately.
The technician code has been entered three times incorrectly; the
keyboard is blocked for 10 minutes.

Alarm message Meaning
The user code has been entered three times incorrectly; the
keyboard is blocked for 10 minutes.
The technician code has been entered three times incorrectly; the
keyboard is blocked for 10 minutes.
The 24V power supply is faulty; check the 24V battery backup.
The main master clock is defective; control the main master
clock. If a Sigma SWITCH is used, the stand-by master clock will
automatically take over.
The synchronisation source is faulty.
In case of synchronisation input failure, an alarm message is sent.
This alarm is triggered after 3 hours without synchronisation in Auto
mode, after 24 hours in the other synchronisation modes.
The impulse line is overloaded; check the impulse line or reduce the
number of clocks.
The consumption on the series impulse line is too high.
The relay extension card does not answer; check the presence of
the card.
