Product Description
Characteristics
Receiver Type | 6 channel GPS C/A-code receiver |
Status Indicators | Fail-LED shows that the internal timing has not been synchronized or that a system error occurred Lock-LED shows that the calculation of the position has been achieved after reset |
Type of Antenna | Included GPSANTv2 antenna with innovative downconverter technology that allows transmission routes of up to 300 m using RG58 cable, 700 m using RG213 cable, and 1100 m using H2010 Ultraflex cable |
Control Elements | Three LEDs to display the status of the programmable outputs one covered key (BSL) to initiate firmware update via COM0 |
Synchronization Time | Max. 1 minute in normal operating conditions
Max. 25 minutes (average 12 minutes) upon first initialization or in the absence of saved satellite data |
Accuracy of Pulse Outputs | Better than ±1 µsec after synchronization and 20 minutes of operation better than ±3 µsec during the first 20 minutes of operatio |
Interface | Two independent serial RS232 interfaces, (optional COM1 as RS485) |
Serial Time String Output | COM0: Baudrate: 300 to 19200 baud Framing: 7N2, 7E1, 7E2, 8E1, 8N1, 8N2 COM1: Baudrate: 300 to 19200 baud Framing: 7E2, 8E1, 8N1, 8O1 Time string: Meinberg Standard, SAT, Uni Erlangen (NTP), SPA, NMEA0183 (RMC) |
DCF77 emulation | Amplitude modulated 77.5 kHz sinewave carrier output level approximately -55 dBm (unmodulated) |
Optocoupler outputs | 3 optocoupler outputs; Uce_max = 55V, Ic_max = 50mA, Ptot = 150mW, Ui = 5000Vrms the following operating modes are possible for each channel: - free programmable cyclic or fixed pulses - timer mode; three 'ON'- and three 'OFF'-times programmable per day and channel - receiver state; synchronous state of the GPS-receiver is indicated - DCF77-emulation The switching state of each channel can be inverted, the pulse duration is settable in steps of 10 msec from 10 msec to 10 sec. The outputs can be enabled either: - always (immediately after reset) - only if receiver is GPS-synchronised |
Electrical Connectors | 8 pole screw terminal for connecting the pulse/switch outputs and the power supply BNC connector for DCF77 signal output female Sub-Min-D connectors for serial interfaces only GPS163AHS: power cord receptacle for AC-line |
Antenna Connector | BNC connector |
Power Consumption | ca. 4W |
Backup Battery Type | When main power supply fails, hardware clock runs free on quartz basis, almanac data is stored in RAM Life time of lithium battery min. 10 years |
Operating Voltage | GPS163DHS: 19 ... 72VDC GPS163AHS: 100 ... 240VAC, 47 ... 63Hz |
Firmware | Flash-EPROM, bootstrap loader |
Physical Dimensions | GPS163DHS: 105 mm x 85 mm x 104 mm (h x w x d) for 35mm DIN mounting rail
GPS163AHS: 105 mm x 125,5 mm x 104 mm (h x w x d) for 35mm DIN mounting rail |
Supported Temperature | Operational: 0 - 50 °C (32 - 122 °F)
Storage: -20 - 70 °C (-4 - 158 °F) |
Supported Humidity | Max. 85 % (non-condensing) at 40 °C |
Options | Photo-MOS-relay-outputs; U = 400V, I = 150mA, P = 360mW Ui = 1500VAC COM1 as RS485 interface 10MHz frequency output instead of DCF77-emulation via BNC connector |
