Description
Satellite Receiver with integrated time code generator (DIN Mounting Rail)


The GPS satellite receiver is assembled in an aluminium profile case for 35mm DIN mounting rail. The integrated power supply is available as an AC (GPS164AHS) or two DC variants (GPS164DHS/19-72VDC and GPS164DAHS/100-240VDC). The build-in time code generator provides modulated and un-modulated IRIG-B or AFNOR outputs. Additional features of the module are DC-isolated programmable pulse outputs, two RS232 interfaces and DCF77 simulation.

Characteristics
Satellite Receiver with integrated time code generator (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 ±250 nsec after synchronization and 20 minutes of operation
better than ±3 µsec during the first 20 minutes of operation
Interface: Two independent serial RS232 interfaces, (optional COM1 as RS485)
Data format of interfaces: Baudrate: 300 to 19200 baud
Framing: 7N2, 7E1, 7E2, 8E1, 8N1, 8N2
Time strings: Meinberg Standard, SAT, Uni Erlangen (NTP), NMEA0183 (RMC), Computime
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
- Time code (IRIG/AFNOR)
- Time string (time telegram of COM1)
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
Generated time codes: IRIG codes B002/B122, B003/B123, IEEE1344 or AFNOR NFS87-500
modulated output:
- IRIG: sinewave 3Vpp (High), 1Vpp (Low) into 50 ohm
- AFNOR: sinewave 2,17Vpp (High), 0,69Vpp (Low) into 600 ohm
unmodulated outputs:
- RS422
- TTL into 50 Ohm
- FET with internal pull-up (470 ohm to +5V)
Physical dimensions: GPS164DHS: 105 mm x 85 mm x 104 mm (h x w x d) for 35mm DIN mounting rail
GPS164AHS/GPS164DAHS: 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 connectors for DCF77-simulation and modulated timecode output
female Sub-Min-D connectors for serial interfaces and unmodulated timecode outputs
Antenna connector: BNC-connector
Power supply: GPS164DHS: 19 ... 72VDC
GPS164AHS: 100 ... 240VAC, 47 ... 63Hz
GPS164DAHS: 100 ... 240VDC
Power consumption: ca. 5W
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 instead of optocouplers
Deployment in special environments: The GPS164 and its variants are already deployed to numerous customers in the power industry. They are used for electrical substation synchronization all over the world, for example in South America, the USA and Europe. This product is therefore suitable to work under harsh conditions and still provide reliable and accurate synchronization.
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.
