Site Controller – GPS Module
The GPS module generates a highly accurate timing reference signal within the Base Station. The
integrated GPS module tracks both GPS and Glonass satellites. At least 1 GPS satellite needs to be
traced to provide time reference for the SC. Remote GPS module currently supports GPS and Beidou
GNSS. GLONASS on the remote GPS module will be supported in the future. A proper GPS signal
must be provided to the QMA input connector on the Site Controller. The Site Controller provides a +5
V DC supply voltage on the QMA connector. It provides a voltage supply for active antennas.
NOTICE:
See Hardware Installation on page 86
See respective restoration manual (DIPS/DIPC/X Core systems) or Service Manual (DIPM
system) for procedures on how to verify the internal and external GPS module.
