GPS - 1U Rackmount: Ready-to-operate GPS systems built up in 1U rackmount chassis



Our satellite receiver clock provides extremly precise time as well as pulses and frequency outputs. The clock has been developed for applications where conventional radio controlled clocks cannot meet the increasing requirements in precision and reliability.

As an Option this device features two power supply modules that allow the system to be powered by an AC mains source or DC battery source with reliable power redundancy.

High precision available 24/7 around the world is the main feature of this high-quality system which receives its information from the satellites of the Global Positioning System.

Product Description

The frequency locking of the master oscillator to the system enables the internal GNSS receiver to generate fixed and programmable standard frequencies with high accuracy and stability. Various oscillator options allow the cost efficient implementation of different requirements concerning the accurracy of the outputs. The pulse generator of GNSS clock generates pulses per second and per minute. As an option up to four programmable outputs are available. The pulses are synchronized to UTC second.

Up to four serial interfaces are available for sending time strings. These ASCII telegrams include information regarding time, date and status of the GNSS receiver. The module provides two inputs for measurement of asynchronous time events. These capture events can be read via a serial interface.

The ../F4/.. models come with E1/T1 frequency outputs and are widely used in the telecommunicaton sector.

A powerful and feature-rich software called "Meinberg Device Manager" is available for configuration and monitoring your Meinberg GNSS receivers.
