6 F 2 S 0 7 3 8 1. Introduction The GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver unit is a device that receives the information from satellites and outputs time signals synchronous to UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) to external devices. The GPS receiver unit provides multiple outputs with optical signals for noise immunity. 2. Characteristics ■ Highly accurate time signal output Realizes a precision with respect to ±2 µs for UTC (UTC: Universal Coordinated Time) (excluding the propaga

The GPS receiver unit receives electromagnetic signals from satellites through an antenna and outputs time data to external devices. Through an internal receiver, the unit generates serial time data and 1-second pulses (1PPS signals), based on the received electromagnetic signal. Each 1PPS signal occurs at the instant in time given by its accompanying

Handling 4.1 Setting the GPS Receiver Unit The GPS receiver unit is set in accordance with the requirements of the system by using the DIP switches located on the front panel of the unit. To prevent erroneous operations, the DIP switches are protected with a cover. As shown in Figure 4.1.1, when the cover is rotated after loosening the cover screw with a screwdriver, the switches are exposed thus making it possible to handle them. Switches are handled with a sharp

(For the time signal transmission format, refer to Appendix D.) Following power-up, the GPS receiver begins outputting 1PPS signals after the acquisition of the almanac data and the estimation of the receiver location (or the antenna location to be more exact) are completed. Almanac data received

In particular, check for damage during transportation, and if any is found, contact the vendor. Always store the GPS receiver units in a clean, dry environment. 6.2 Installing GPS Receiver Unit CAUTION Do not remove flanges from the main unit, as this may cause a failure. The flanges attached to both sides of the unit are used to fix
