Page 7: System Overview
SYSTEM OVERVIEW NTS-4000-R The Galleon 4000 network time server synchronises time and provides a reliable stratum 1 response with 3,000 time requests per minute. The IP address can either be automatically configured by DCHP or a static IP address can be entered manually. -
Page 8: Gps Antenna
NTS-4000-R GPS ANTENNA Tracking up to 12 satellites at the same time, GPS offers an accurate signal capable of a reliable and consistent reading anywhere in the world. Used extensively for synchronising time from one location to another, GPS signals are received globally and maintain a high level of accuracy. -
Page 9: Msf Antenna
NTS-4000-R MSF ANTENNA The MSF signal is broadcast from Anthorn in Cumbria and is maintained at a reliable frequency of 60 kHz, delivering a steady signal undisrupted by changing weather conditions and operational 24 hours a day. The radio signal is designed to cover the whole of the United Kingdom. -
Page 10: Dcf Antenna
NTS-4000-R DCF ANTENNA The DCF antenna receives a radio signal broadcast at 77.5 kHz from Frankfurt (Main). The signal covers the whole of Germany and impressively most of Europe too. Functional up to 1000m (3,000 ft.) away from the time server, additional cable length can be added to the supplied 10m, to increase cable size to the desired length. -
Page 11: Wwvb Antenna
NTS-4000-R WWVB ANTENNA The WWVB antenna receives a radio signal broadcast at 60 kHz from two transmitters near Fort Collins in Colorado. One benefit of using the WWVB signal is that as they have two transmitters that have different scheduled down times, the WWVB signal is not affected by maintenance. -
