Three different types of Power Supply Units are available: • accepting dual redundant 40 - 60 VDC • accepting dual redundant 20 - 36 VDC • accepting single 100 - 240 VAC OSA 5240 - User Manual - Revision P - June 2009...
Frequency Generation 3.2.1 Reference Input Selection The OSA 5240 input selection process can be configured by the User. The operator enters a table listing the priority of each input; by choosing i.e. if the GPS signal shall have higher priority than the auxiliary synchronization input.
The DoD has decided that the SA functionality will not be removed from the GPS before a new, reliable scrambling system is in place. OSA 5240 - User Manual - Revision P - June 2009...
2 groups of 8 re-timing channels, (E1 or T1 traffic carrying signals), The OSA 5240 Telecom GPS Receiver can be partially equipped with a low cost single output, or minimum 8 outputs. Different output connector types are available. Output impedance is either 75/50 Ohm unbalanced or 100/120/133 Ohm balanced.
Main Functions 3.3.2 Output Squelch All outputs from the OSA 5240 Telecom GPS Receiver can be individually squelched by operator commands via the management software. The default condition is outputs active (and not squelched) for all outputs. The OSA 5240 Telecom GPS Receiver. supports conditional squelching, possible after a configurable delay after entering Bridging mode.
A Re-Timing Channel synchronizes a traffic signal based upon the synchronization signal from the OSA 5240 Telecom GPS Receiver. Each channel has a re-timing buffer holding two traffic frames. Up to 2 groups of 8 channels can be equipped inside the unit.
An integrated buzzer on the RMU (Remote Manger Unit) can be configured as: • ON - general alarm • ON - critical alarm • Please refer to the "RMBCS" command in the adjacent MML command document for configuration. 3-10 OSA 5240 - User Manual - Revision P - June 2009...
5240 Telecom GPS Receiver. Releases 1.1T and 1.1E include the alarm management to signal the loss of power on one or both DC Power inputs. The OSA 5240 Telecom GPS Receiver can be equipped to accept 48VDC or 24VDC input range in DC, and 90 to 264 VAC (47-63Hz) in AC.
