GPS Synchronization Module

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The GPS 430-II GPS Synchronization Module guarantees that the time
clock uncertainty of the Fluke 430-Series II Power Quality Analyzers does
not exceed ±20 ms for 50 Hz signals according to IEC 61000-4-30. This
performance is necessary to ensure that Class A instruments produce the
same 10 aggregation results when connected to the same signal. The
GPS 430-II can only be used on the Fluke 430-Series II Power Quality
Analyzers.

Note

The GPS system is operated by the government of the United
States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance.
