Use a moist soft textured fabric cloth when cleaning the housing. Do not use polish or any other cleaning agents. Repairs: The AV-MTD G 30 TTT does not require any extra maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts inside the device. Repairs should be sent to an authorized service partner.
Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT A3 CE Declaration of Conformity Alpermann+Velte Electronic Engineering GmbH Otto-Hahn-Str. 42 D-42103 Wuppertal herewith declare under our sole responsibility that the G 30 TTT meets the intent of the following directives, standards and specifications:...
Page 1 Functions Overview Alpermann+Velte has developed a system for Multiple Time Displays (MTD). A MTD system consists of a central generator unit, digital displays and/or analogue clocks, and user console(s). The central generator unit outputs a special LTC format. This LTC will henceforth denoted as LTC(MTD).

Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 3 Description of Keys real-time The time information of the LTC is generated identical to the “real-time“. “Real- time“ is an internal clock, which is regulated by the built-in or external DCF77 or GPS receiver, or by external operation (MTD user console).
Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 4 The 8-Digit Display and the LEDs The 8-digit display generally displays the time information of the generated LTC as “hours minutes seconds frames“. With the operating mode “time E“ (E key) one frame will be added to the generated value.
Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 5 Description of the Menu Lines Pressing the menu key switches the menu lines on or off. After power-on the last selected menu line is displayed (the menu LED lights up). A menu line serves to indicate actual settings or executable functions.

Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 7 User Bits Mode Basically G30TTT generates the LTC(MTD), i.e. the user bits carry data for the use of the MTD system. But it is also provided to switch the user bits mode. In principle three basic modes can be defined: •...
Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 8 Offset to Reference Time Input The reference time comes from an external or built-in GPS or DCF77 receiver. Now it is possible to create a time zone selecting a full hours offset.

Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 11 After Power-On After power-on the last stored data will be tested. In case of a storage failure a “reset“ is made, with the display indicating reset. After that, or in case of valid data, status reports are indicated in two steps, and all status LED’s are lit up.
Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 12 Receiving “Real-Time“ via DCF77 or GPS There are two standard configurations: • G 30 TTT with built-in DCF77 receiver. The antenna has to be connected at the insulated BNC socket at the rear panel. Three LED’s at the front of G 30 TTT indicate the status of the built-in receiver: LED free (red) = free-run mode.
Operating Manual AV-MTD G 30 TTT Page 13 “Real-time“ in the MTD timer system: The “real-time“ is encoded in the user data of the LTC(MTD) and may be displayed on the displays of the MTD system. This time is synchronised every second to the receiver clock. If there is no receiver built-in or connected to the G 30 TTT, “real-time“...
