The Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Trimble's warranty (set out below) is in addition to any mandatory rights and remedies that you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Product Limited Warranty

Subject to the following terms and conditions, Trimble Inc. (“Trimble”) warrants that for a period of one (1) year from date of purchase this

Trimble product (the “Product”) will substantially conform to Trimble's

publicly available specifications for the Product and that the hardware and any storage media components of the Product will be substantially free from defects in materials and workmanship..

Product Software

Product software, whether built into hardware circuitry as firmware, provided as a standalone computer software product, embedded in flash memory, or stored on magnetic or other media, is licensed solely for use with or as an integral part of the Product and is not sold. If accompanied

by a separate end user license agreement (“EULA”), use of any such

software will be subject to the terms of such end user license agreement (including any differing limited warranty terms, exclusions, and limitations), which shall control over the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Except for the limited license rights expressly provided herein, Trimble and its suppliers have and will retain all rights, title and interest (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Product Software and all copies, modifications and derivative works thereof (including any changes which incorporate any of your ideas, feedback or suggestions).

You shall not (and shall not allow any third party to): (a) decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer the Product Software or attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or programming interfaces of the Product Software by any means whatsoever (except and only to the extent that applicable law prohibits or restricts reverse engineering restrictions); (b) distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or use the Product Software (or any portion thereof) for time sharing, hosting, service provider, or like purposes; (c) remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright, or other notices contained in the Product Software; (d) modify any part of the Product Software, create a derivative work of any part of the Product Software, or incorporate the Product Software into or with other software, except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by Trimble; (e) attempt to circumvent or disable the security key mechanism that protects the Product Software against unauthorized use (except and only to the extent that applicable law prohibits or restricts such restrictions); or (f) publicly disseminate performance information or analysis (including, without limitation, benchmarks) from any source relating to the Product Software. If the Product Software has been provided to you as embedded in any hardware device, you are not licensed to separate the Product Software from the hardware device. If the Product Software has been provided to you separately from a hardware device but is intended to be loaded onto a hardware device specified by Trimble (such as a firmware update), your license is limited to loading the Product Software on the device specified by Trimble, and for no other use.

Software Fixes

During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive such Fixes to the Product software that Trimble releases and makes commercially available and for which it does not charge separately, subject to the procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble products generally. If you have purchased the Product from a Trimble authorized dealer rather than from Trimble directly, Trimble may, at its option, forward the software Fix to the Trimble authorized dealer for final distribution to you. Minor Updates, Major Upgrades, new products, or substantially new software releases, as identified by Trimble, are expressly excluded from this update process and limited warranty. Receipt of software Fixes or other enhancements shall not serve to extend the limited warranty period. For

purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply: (1) “Fix(es)”

means an error correction or other update created to fix a previous software version that does not substantially conform to its Trimble

specifications; (2) “Minor Update” occurs when enhancements are made to current features in a software program; and (3) “Major Upgrade” occurs when significant new features are added to software, or

when a new product containing new features replaces the further development of a current product line. Trimble reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what constitutes a Fix, Minor Update, or Major Upgrade.

Warranty Remedies

If the Trimble Product fails during the warranty period for reasons covered by this limited warranty and you notify Trimble of such failure during the warranty period, Trimble will repair OR replace the nonconforming Product with new, equivalent to new, or

Page | 2

reconditioned parts or Product, OR refund the Product purchase price paid by you, at Trimble’s option, upon your return of the Product in accordance with Trimble's product return procedures then in effect.

Grounding the Device

The Thunderbolt TS200 M5 Terminal Stud on the back panel is used for grounding.

The Thunderbolt TS200 is suitable for connection to the Central Office and CPE. The Time Server Clock shall be located in a restricted access location where only crafts personnel are allowed access.

The Thunderbolt TS200 shall be grounded via a copper ground conductor. The unit shall be installed and connected to the common bonding network (CBN).

All bare grounding connection points to the Thunderbolt TS200 shall be cleaned and coated with an anti-oxidant solution before connections are made.

All surfaces on the Thunderbolt TS200 that are un-plated shall be brought to a bright finish and treated with and anti-oxidant solution before connection is made.

All non-conductive surfaces on the Thunderbolt TS200 shall be removed from all threads and connection points to ensure electrical continuity

The Thunderbolt TS200 DC power returns shall be treated as DC-I (Isolated from Frame Ground).

Thunderbolt TS200 requires a ring terminal with a 14-AWG wire that utilizes 15in-lbs to secure to primary ground.

Powering-Up

After verification of the input power source, switch on the power supply to the Thunderbolt TS200. The Green Power LED should turn ON.

2.4 GNSS Considerations

See the next chapter for a full description of how to choose the correct antenna cable/antenna combination.

When connected to a GNSS antenna the Thunderbolt TS200 can receive GNSS signal without user intervention– the factory default is GPS and GLONASS. The user can enable Beidou in place of GLONASS or enable single constellation mode.

User Guide Thunderbolt® NTP TS200 Time Server Clock

P a g e | 24

The Trimble family of Bullet antennas is best matched with Thunderbolt TS200. The bullet antenna has following versions:

 Bullet III GPS only antenna  Bullet GG GPS and GLONASS antenna  Bullet L1/L2 GPS Dual Band – L1 and L2 frequencies  Bullet 40dB GPS L1 high gain (40dB) antenna  Bullet GB GPS and Beidou antenna  Bullet 360 GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo antenna

Connecting the GNSS antenna will turn the Antenna LED Green.

Selecting Site for GNSS Antenna

It is important that the GNSS antenna has the fullest possible view of the sky. In most cases, this means installing the antenna on a high point, such as roof top. Avoid overhanging objects such as trees and towers. Also take care to place the antenna away from low lying objects such as neighboring buildings that may block a portion of the sky near the horizon. If a full view of the sky is not possible, mount the antenna aiming towards the Equator to maximize the southern view of the sky (choose a northern view in the Southern Hemisphere).

Use the criteria below to select a good outdoor site for the GPS antenna. The best locations provide:

 Unobstructed views of the sky and horizon.  Low electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) –

away from high-power lines, transmitting antennas, and powerful electrical equipment.

 Convenient access for installation and maintenance.  Reasonable access for the antenna cable to reach the Thunderbolt TS200

3.1 GNSS Antenna

The antenna receives the GNSS satellite signals and passes them to the receiver. The GNSS signals are spread spectrum signals in the 1551MHz to 1614MHz range and do not penetrate conductive or opaque surfaces. Therefore, the antenna must be located outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The internal GNSS receiver requires an active antenna with integrated LNA. The received GNSS signals are very low power, approximately

-130dBm, at the surface of the earth. Trimble's active antenna includes a preamplifier that filters and amplifies the GNSS signals before delivery to the receiver.

The onboard circuits provide DC supply voltage on the SMA coax connector for the external, active GNSS antenna. The antenna supply voltage is fully protected against short circuit by the onboard Open/Short detection with integrated current limiter. The Thunderbolt TS200™ has a full antenna monitoring circuit on board.

Antenna requirements

The Thunderbolt TS200™ requires an active GNSS antenna with built-in Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for optimal performance. The antenna LNA amplifies the received satellite signals for two purposes:

a) Compensation of losses on the cable b) Lifting the signal amplitude in the suitable range for the receiver frontend.

Task b) requires an amplification of at least 15dB, while 20dB is the sweet spot for the Thunderbolt TS200™. This would be the required LNA gain if the antenna was directly attached to the receiver without cable in between.

The cable and connector between the antenna and the receiver cause signal loss. The overhead over the minimum required 15 dB and the actual LNA gain of the antenna is available for task a). So in case of a 30dB LNA gain in the antenna, 15 dB are available for compensating losses.

Or in other words, the attenuation of all elements (cables and connectors) between the antenna and the receiver can be up to a total of 15dB with a 30dB LNA. With a different antenna type, take the difference between 15dB and the antenna’s LNA gain as the available compensation capability. Subtract the insertion losses of all connectors from the 15dB (or whatever the number is) and the remainder is the maximum loss, which your cable must not exceed.

As the GNSS signals are hidden in the thermal noise floor, it is very important that the antenna LNA doesn’t add more noise than necessary to the system; therefore a low noise figure is even more important than the absolute amplification.

Trimble does not recommend having more than 35dB remaining gain (LNA gain minus all cable and connector losses) at the antenna input of the receiver module. The recommended range of remaining LNA gain at the connector of the receiver module is 20dB to 30dB with a minimum of 15dB and a maximum of 35dB.

3.2 Antenna Placement

Sky-Visibility

GNSS signals can only be received on a direct line of sight between antenna and satellite. The antenna should see as much as possible of the total sky. Seen from the northern hemisphere of the earth, more satellites will
