ATX-GPS Satellite Synchronizer

Installation & Setup Guide

Welcome

Lathem’s ATX-GPS is a Global Positioning Satellite receiver that accesses the
accurate date and time signal transmitted each second by 24 satellites in
geosynchronous orbit around the globe.
The package includes an amplified GPS Antenna, which must be mounted
out-doors or beneath a roof sky-light, facing skyward. An integrated cable links
the Antenna to the ATX6.
The ATX-GPS receives its power from the ATX6 so there is no need for a Power
Adapter.
