1. General The DCF module is used to expand the FAZ 3000-Z and makes possible the automatic synchronisation of the internal clock. The DCF module receives the time signal, that is transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt and transmits the current time for Germany. The transmitter operates on a frequency of 77.5 khz and can be received in a radius of approx. 2000 km. The time is sent in coded form, with the time information being transmitted within a minute. 12
2. Connection of the DCF module The connector lead of the DCF module is fed through the back of the base station through square opening and placed in the BU2 sleeve until it engages. Figure 1 shows the position of the individual connections. Figure 1: Position of the sleeves 13
3. Reception control and configuration The DCF module is fitted with a connector lead and can therefore be positioned independently of the base station. The module should be installed at a distance of at least 0.5 m from the base station, so that reception is not affected by the electronics of the alarm base station. In addition an adequate distance should be maintained to other electrical devices, as for example televisions or electrical cables that can also affect reception. The DCF module incorporates an LED that monitors the reception. The module should be positioned such that the LED illuminates regularly every second. On the 59th second a pulse is received indicating the start of a data packet and which should not be interpreted as bad reception. After the first reception pulse the base station releases the configuration menu for the DCF reception. Using the DCF Configuration menu the DCF receiver can be switched manually active or passive. It is also possible to check whether synchronisation has occurred. - Press the Menu a/a key (below left), and the following appears troubles - Use the and keys to select the AZ Config menu. setup - Press OK to access this menu, the following appears: 14 setup Set time - Use the and keys to select the DCF Config menu. setup DCF config
- Press OK to access this menu, the following appears, for example: DCF activ not synchr. - Use the and keys to select the DCF reception manually active or inactive. - The lower display line shows whether synchronisation occurred or not. - Press OK to accept the changes. - Press the C to return to normal display. After aligning the DCF receiver the following displays appear after three minutes DCF activ synchron If this is not the case then the positioning of the DCF module must be re-checked and modified. In many cases it is sufficient to gently turn the DCF module. 15
