GPS Signals

The GPS global positioning system of the US department of defense, consists of 24 satellites revolving around the earth at an altitude of approximately 20'000 km. Every satellite makes about 1 revolution every 12 hours, thus achieving global coverage. GPS receivers use the satellite signals to determine their exact location and altitude on earth. Time and Date information is also available in the signal, making it possible to control the PRECITIME GPS.

Technical Data

Output :
Model MIN24/... : minutes output (option 1/2 minutes), bipolar, 24V/100mA, short-circuit protected.
Pulse duration 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds. Fast advance mode : 1 second interval between pulses.
Model SEC24/... : seconds output, bipolar, 24V/100mA, short-circuit protected.
Pulse duration 0.25 second. Fast advance mode : 2 pulses per second.
Model MINSEC24/... : minutes and seconds output, bipolar, 24V/100mA, short-circuit protected.
Option : 12V output voltage instead of 24V.

GPS Receiver :
GPS antenna with built-in receiver, for outdoor installation, with 2.5 meter regular 4-wire cable. Cable Length up to 10 Meter (except in noisy environment). Corner Plate for Mounting Against a Wall or a Pole.

Power Supply :
Universal for 100 to 240VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. Low-voltage power input at 24VDC.

Summer/winter daylight saving time changes :
On request, automatic daylight saving time changes may be programmed in the master clock.

Accuracy :
Pulses are synchronized to atomic time by radio. In case of temporary absence of satellite signal, the clock runs with quartz accuracy until satellite signals are available again.

Pulse memory :
Pulse memory in case of power failure up to 1 year duration.

Controls :
Stop/Normal/Rapid switch for setting the slave clocks.
LED pilot lamp for checking satellite signal.

Operating temperatures :
-25 ... +70 degrees centigrade.

Connection :
Terminals inside the casing.

Casing, dimensions :
Weight :
700 g to 1 kg depending on model.
