Because of the programmable pulse outputs, the module GPS163AHS/DHS can be used for various synchronization tasks.

The satellite receiver is assembled in an aluminium profile case for 35mm DIN mounting rail. The integrated power supply is available as an AC (GPS163AHS) or DC version (GPS163DHS). The module provides three photocoupler outputs which can be programmed for generation of pulses and switching times. Additional outputs are two RS232 interfaces and a DCF77 simulation.

Characteristics
Satellite Receiver for DIN Mounting Rail


Type of receiver: 6 channel GPS C/A-code receiver
Type of antenna: Remote powered GPS antenna/converter unit, up to 300m distance to antenna with RG58 and up to 700m distance with RG213 cable
Control elements: Three LEDs to display the status of the programmable outputs
one covered key (BSL) to initiate firmware update via COM0
Status info: 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
Synchronization time: Max. 1 minute in normal operation mode, approx. 12 minutes after a cold start (discharged buffer battery)
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)
Data format of interfaces: 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-synchronized
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
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 supply: GPS163DHS: 19 ... 72VDC
GPS163AHS: 100 ... 240VAC, 47 ... 63Hz
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
Firmware: Flash-EPROM, bootstrap loader
Ambient temperature: 0 ... 50°C / 32 ... 122°F
Humidity: Max. 85%
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
RoHS-Status of the product: This product is fully RoHS compliant
WEEE status of the product: This product is handled as a B2B category product. In order to secure a WEEE compliant waste disposal it has to be returned to the manufacturer. Any transportation expenses for returning this product (at its end of life) have to be incurred by the end user, whereas Meinberg will bear the costs for the waste disposal itself.
