Page 4: Safety Instructions
Safety instructions Except external power supply (230VAC), this equipment contains DC (9-30VDC) voltages. Do not handle any metallic part until the 230VAC power supply has been disconnected! Do not assemble, disassemble set when the power reminds switched ON. Making wiring and touching cables is strongly prohibited when power is ON. -

Page 6: Introduction
Referential UTC is drawn from GPS & Glonass via built-in GNSS receiver, using NMEA183 frame. NTS-pico3 can also act as an 1PPS frequency reference clock. It can distribute 1PPS using NTP or PTP IEE1588 protocol. It has also 1 SMA 1PPS output. -
Page 7: General Presentation
General presentation NTS-pico3 includes: • 1 x GNSS (SMA) • 1 x PWR (VDC) • 1 x 1PPS (SMA) NTS-pico3 picture view... -
Page 8: Installation
Mast antenna suspension (H=0.5m) is not included but it is available as separate products from Elproma. Following figure shows an example of how mounting antenna might be achieved. -
Page 9: Additional Lightning Protection Considerations
Note: When the NTS-pico3 is operational, the GNSS antenna assembly may be disconnected for short periods (e.g. maintenance or repair) without interruption to the unit synchronization LAN output. - Page 10 Failure to do so is almost certain to result in destruction of NTS-pico3 and connected into it equipment in the event of the antenna receiving a near lightning strike.

Serial port, either RS232/RS485 Serial RS232/RS485 (RJ-45 connector marked as “RS232/485”) is placed on front panel of router. Serial connector pinout is described in a tables below. -
Page 14: First Start And Usage
First start and usage Powering up 1. Connect GNSS antenna to SMA connector in NTS-pico3 2. Connect Ethernet LAN cable to RJ45 connector 3. Plug-in DC power supply to power input and turn power ON. Power supply connector pinout: LED indicators The device has four LEDs that indicates its operation. -
Page 15: Basic Setup
Minimum configuration requires setup IPv4 IMPORTANT NOTE! For time synchronization purpose please do not use DHCP/DNS. You will need to keep SSH communication ON for GNSS signals tracing. Also, devices synchronizing to NTS-pico3 may assume it has statis IP address. -

Monitoring GNSS satellite signals ON-LINE SSH communication must be enabled first. Please execute the following commands from terminal: ssh root@192.168.1.234 -p 65535 root@192.168.1.139's password: 12345 [root@rbmtx ~]# TERM=vt220 [root@rbmtx ~]# gpsmon GPSmon tool let you trace satellite signals on-line This screen is the tool to monitor GNSS (GPS & Glonass) satellite signal performance. You should be able to receive signals from at least not less than 4 satellites. -

Page 23: Ptp Options
PTP options: Option name Value type/possible values Description Disabled/Grandmaster/Slave Enabled PTP as Master/Slave. PTP Options Domain Number [0...255] A domain does define the scope of PTP message number communication, state, operations, data sets, and timescale. Devices synchronize only to PTP devices within same domain. -
Page 24: Additional Settings: (Available Via Ssh Only)
Sync receipt Number (log2) Timeout value of PTP Sync messages. Defines for how timeout long obtained time is marked as valid. PTP Grandmaster dataset Grandmaster Auto/Manual Allows selection between constant UTC-TAI offset and dataset mode automatically calculated measured one. Usage of this (manual) is for testing purposes mostly. -

Change the registry keys to configure PTP and disable other client providers (NTP, VMIC etc.). Please modify the below root keys manually: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\PtpClient Name Value PtPMasters IP of NTS-pico3, default: 192.168.1.234 EnableMulticastRx HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient Name Value Enabled HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\VMICTimeProvider Name... - Page 26 PTP General In PTP General Out Verify if PTP Time Provider is enabled using w32tm /query /configuration command. Then verify that the system is synchronizing with PTP Source Server using w32tm /query /status /verbose command. The output should be as below: ReferenceId: 0x4D505450 indicates that the PTP provider is in use.
