    115. Antenna Connection Overview The TimeProvider 100 chassis has one antenna connection located on the front panel. The antenna connection is made via a SMA connector, labeled GPS. The connectors are DC isolated and AC bypassed to frame ground. This connection is used for a radio receiver antenna connection only.

  • Page 113: Locating The Gps Antenna

    Follow local building electrical codes for grounding using the  frame ground lug on the TimeProvider 100 chassis. The in-line amplifier receives 5 VDC power from the GPS radio  receiver, and is supplied on the center conductor of the LMR-400 or equivalent coaxial cable.
  • Page 114 Chapter C Installing Antennas Recommendation: Symmetricom recommends that you consider the following location and environment influences before installing the GPS antenna: If possible, provide the antenna with an unobstructed 360-degree  view of the sky from the horizon. In general, do not allow obstructions that obscure the horizon (as ...

    GPS antenna and the radio receiver. Coiling the excess cable also allows you to use the factory-installed crimped connector. Symmetricom does not recommend cutting the antenna cables provided in the GPS Antenna Kits. If you must cut the cables, please ensure that the following requirements are met.

  • Page 117: Connecting The Cable To The Antenna

    If at all possible, avoid bundling the coaxial cable with other cables (and possible noise sources). Use appropriate cable-pulling devices when pulling the coaxial cable through conduit or a weather head. 098-00106-000 Revision A – March, 2009 TimeProvider 100 User’s Guide 117...

    4. Connect the ground wire between the transient eliminator and the proper grounding zone (building ground, master ground bar, or other) for the mounting location. Recommendation: Symmetricom does not recommend soldered connections for grounding purposes. All grounding connections should be secured with mechanical clamp connectors.

    2. Secure the free end of the antenna cable to the appropriate antenna connector on the rear panel of the TimeProvider 100 using the right angle adapter provided with the antenna cable. Recommendation: Symmetricom recommends coiling excess cable to avoid gain mismatch between the GPS antenna and the TimeProvider 100.
