time code so that it is on a valid colour frame sequence. The 8010-SIE-GPS II's UTC time clock will
normally be within +/- 1 colour frame of the GPS based time. The front panel GPS status message will
show
GPS STS:SATS xx
This message is available any time that the antenna is connected and the 8010-SIE-GPS II is in the
GPS SID mode. Press the DISPLAY key to display other front panel messages.
If the antenna is not connected, or is being initialized the front panel will show the message:
ANTENNA
NO GPS
If the antenna is not responding properly, the front panel will show the message:
ANTENNA ERROR 01
If this occurs, check the installation procedure outlined in section 2.6 of this manual.
3.9.2. Displaying the Receiver's UTC Time
When the 8010-SIE-GPS II is receiving valid time information from the smart antenna, two additional
front panel displays are available. To access them press the DISPLAY button one or more times until
the desired message is visible.
Universal Coordinated Time (adjusted GPS receiver time)
UTC
Universal Coordinated Date (adjusted GPS receiver date)
UDC
3.9.3. Controlling the Synchronization Accuracy to the GPS Based Time
When the 8010-SIE-GPS II is operated in the GPS SID mode, the generator is synchronized to the
GPS time reference being received from the smart antenna. During normal operation, the 8010-SIE-
GPS II will monitor the difference between the GPS Receiver time and its UTC time clock. When the
GPS Receiver time is different from the 8010-SIE-GPS II's UTC time by more than one half second, the
8010-SIE-GPS II will rejam to the GPS Receiver. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to
disable this feature. DIP switch #3 on the 8010-SIE-GPS II main circuit card will disable the auto
jamming function.
When DIP switch #3 is CLOSED, this continuous monitoring is disabled. Jamming to the GPS Receiver
will still occur once a day at the "GPS@" time (provided the GPS@ register is armed for continuous
mode). If the DIP switch is CLOSED when the unit powers up, it will jam the generator to the GPS
Receiver ONCE. After that, the unit will only jam to the GPS Receiver time at the "GPS@" times, or if
the user forces a jam to the Receiver time using the GPS SYNC remote control input (see section
3.8.7.1).
When DIP switch #3 is OPEN (default), the 8010-SIE-GPS II will also resynchronize to the GPS
Receiver time when there is a difference of more than one half second between the GPS Receiver time
and the 8010-SIE-GPS II UTC time.
