Analyze
1. Is the GPS Receiver inside? If it's mounted to a window or mounted where its signal has to go through the roof, the GPS
Receiver may need to be relocated outdoors. A GPS Receiver located indoors may not allow for an adequate signal. Low-E
glass windows are coated with a transparent metal layer that reflects infrared heat rays; which can also reflect the GPS signal.
2. Check the GPS Receiver mounting location. Verify its mounting did not slip or change and it has a clear view of the sky.
Resolve any obstructions.
3. There may be local interference affecting GPS signal reception. Try moving the location of the GPS Receiver to improve
reception. Weather conditions, solar flares, time of day, and exact satellite position may also effect signal reception; however,
these conditions are normally of a short duration.
4. Poor GPS cable connections or a faulty GPS Receiver can cause the unit not to pick up a signal. If steps 1 and 2 do not resolve
the issue, replace the GPS Receiver and its extension cables.
5. Poor Transmitter power output can also result in the Transmitter not being able to pull the time update. Check voltage at the
Transmitter by completing the steps in
