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 operation
Interface	Two independent serial RS232 interfaces, (optional COM1 as RS485)
Serial Time String Output	Baudrate: 300 to 19200 baud Framing: 7N2, 7E1, 7E2, 8E1, 8N1, 8N2 Time strings: 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
Supported Timecode Formats	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 (1k ohm to +5V)
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 output
Antenna Connector	BNC connector
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
Operating Voltage	19 ... 72V DC
Firmware	Flash-EPROM, bootstrap loader
Physical Dimensions	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
Deployment in special environments	The GPS163TDHS 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 Product	This product is fully RoHS-compliant.
WEEE Status of Product	This product is handled as a B2B (Business to Business) category product. To ensure that the product is disposed of in a WEEE-compliant fashion, it can be returned to the manufacturer. Any transportation expenses for returning this product (at end-of-life) must be covered by the end user, while Meinberg will bear the costs for the waste disposal itself.
