    Content of the USB stick Besides this manual, the provided USB stick includes a setup program for the monitor software GPSMON32. This utility can be used to configure Meinberg GPS receivers via their serial ports and display status information of the module.
  • Page 5: General Information

    General information The Meinberg satellite receiver clocks of the GPS164xHS series are available with several options. This manual describes the following models: . . . 2 . . 2 . . The vaiants differ in power supply and the type of DC-isolation of the programmable pulse outputs.

  • Page 7: Gps164Xhs Features

    GPS164xHS features The GPS164xHS is designed for mounting on a DIN rail. The front panel integrates five LED indicators, a hidden push button, an eight-pole terminal block, theree DSUB- and three BNC-connectors. The receiver is connected to the antenna/conver- ter unit by a 50 Ω-coaxial cable with length up to 300 m (when using RG58 cable). It is possible to connect up to four receivers to one antenna by using an optional antenna diplexer.
  • Page 8: Pulse Outputs

    Pulse outputs The pulse generator of the satellite controlled clock GPS164xHS containes three independant channels and is able to generate a multitude of different pulses, which are configured with the software GPSMON32. The active state of each channel is invertible, the pulse duration settable between 10 msec and 10 sec in steps of 10 msec.

    (IRIG) in the early 60´s. Detailed information about IRIG and other time codes can be found on http://www.meinberg.de/english/info/irig.htm Except these time codes other formats, like NASA36, XR3 or 2137, are still in use. The module GPS164TDHS however generates IRIG-B or AFNOR NFS-500 only.
  • Page 10: Available Time Codes

    Available time codes The time code generator of the module GPS164xHS is able to generate the time- codes shown below. The modulated codes (IRIG B122/B123, AFNOR, IEEE1344) are available via the BNC-connector, the unmodulated codes (IRIG B002/B003 and IEEE1344) via a DSUB connector in the front panel. The unmodulated codes are available as a transistor output with internal pull up (470 Ω...

  • Page 14: Dcf77 Emulation

    DCF77 emulation The GPS164xHS satellite controlled clock generates time marks which are compati- ble with the time marks spread by the German long wave transmitter DCF77. If configured in GPSMON32, these time marks are available as pulse outputs. In addition, an AM-modulated carrier frequency of 77.5kHz is available via a BNC- connector in the front panel.
  • Page 15: Installation

    Installation Power supply The variants of the module GPS164xHS are designed for following power supply options: GPS164DHS GPS164/AQ/DHS: 19...72 VDC (DC-insulation 1.5 kVDC) GPS164AHS GPS164/AQ/AHS: 100...240 VAC, 47...63 Hz GPS164DAHS GPS164/AQ/DAHS : 100...240 VDC 100...240 VAC, 47...63 Hz The voltage feed of the DC variants is done via terminal blocks in the frontpanel of the clock and should have low resistance to minimize spurious emission (EMI).
  • Page 16: Mounting The Antenna

    Mounting the antenna The GPS satellites are not stationary but circle round the globe in a period of about 12 hours. They can only be received if no building is in the line-of-sight from the antenna to the satellite, so the antenna/converter unit must be installed in a location from which as much of the sky as possible can be seen.

  • Page 19: Assignment Of The Dsub Connectors

    Assignment of the DSUB connectors The serial ports COM0 and COM1 as well as the unmodulated IRIG/AFNOR time code signals are accessible via nine-pole DSUB connectors in the frontpanel. These RS-232 interfaces can be connected to a computer by using a standard modem cable. TxD describes the sending, RxD the receiving line of the GPS164xHS.
