Page 16: Antenna Installation
The following chapters explain how to select a suitable location for your antenna, how to fit the antenna, and how to implement effective surge protection for your antenna installation. 9.1 Selecting the Antenna Location There are essentially two ways the GPSANTv2 can be installed using the accessories included: 1. Mounted on a pole 2. Mounted on a wall In either case, the location must be selected to ensure that the view of the sky is not obstructed in any direction (see Fig .1) in order to ensure that enough satellites can be received. - Page 17 • At least 50 cm (1.5 ft) distance to other antennas Information: Problems may arise with the synchronization of your Meinberg time server if these conditions are not met, as four satellites must be located to calculate the exact position.

Page 18: Installation Of The Antenna
• Do not carry out any work on the antenna system or the antenna cable if there is a risk of lightning strike. • Do not carry out any work on the antenna system if it is not possible to maintain the prescribed safe distance to exposed lines and electrical substations. GPSANTv2 Date: July 24, 2023... - Page 19 Mount the GPSANTv2 (as shown in Fig. 3) at a distance of at least 50 cm to other antennas using the mounting kit provided, either onto a vertical pole of no more than 60 mm diameter or directly onto a wall.

Page 20: Antenna Cable
Meinberg provides suitable cable types with its antennas and these are ordered together with the antenna to match the length you need from your antenna to your Meinberg reference clock. The route to be covered for your antenna installation should be determined and the appropriate cable type selected accordingly before confirming your order. - Page 21 The bend radius is the radius at which a cable can be bent without sustaining damage (including kinks). The next chapter "Surge Protection and Grounding" explains how to implement effective surge protection for an antenna installation. Date: July 24, 2023 GPSANTv2...

- Page 23 The propagation of the signal from the antenna to the receiver (reference clock) can incur a certain delay. This delay can be compensated for in the meinbergOS Web Interface by entering a fixed offset in nanoseconds under "Bias".

61000-4-5 Level 4 to reliably shield the antenna against surge voltages. However, in order to preserve the safety of the building and to protect your Meinberg system, Meinberg recomends the use of the MBG-S-PRO surge protector, which is addressed in more detail later in this chapter. - Page 25 The drawings below illustrate how a GPSANTv2 can be installed in accordance with the above conditions on a pole (e.g. antenna pole) or building roof.

- Page 27 MBG S-PRO Surge Protector Information: The surge protector and suitable coaxial cable are not included as standard with the GPSANTv2, but can be ordered as an optional accessory. Construction The MBG-S-PRO is a surge protector (Phoenix CN-UB-280DC-BB) for coaxial connections. It is patched directly into the antenna line and consists of a replaceable gas discharge tube that redirects the energy from the cable shielding to the ground potential when ignited.
- Page 28 Meinberg system to prevent destructive potential differences. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to one of the surge protector connectors, then connect the other surge protector connector to the coaxial cable leading to the Meinberg reference clock.
