GPS6000-LITE - GPS Time Receiver - User Manual - Version 1.2II
1 - Introduction
1.1 - Overview
The GPS6000-LITE accurately synchronises your time server with
international atomic standards. With 32 satellite parallel tracking and
class-leading high performance design, the GNSS decoder supplies
time data accurate to within 30 nsec of UTC. The user programmable
cable delay compensation ensures timing accuracy is maintained,
even over long cable runs.
The system has been engineered to ensure reliable performance. The
high sensitivity GPS6000 decoder allows for operation in the most
demanding weak signal and hostile RF environments. The GPS6000
fully integrates with your time server, providing real time diagnostics
and active antenna monitoring.
Installing the GPS6000-LITE is simple. Both cables are supplied preterminated. The GPS6000 has also been purpose designed to allow
cost saving installation into your data centre, optionally connecting to
your time server via existing cat 5 structured cabling.

2 - Installing the GPS6000
2.1 - Installing the antenna
To ensure reliable operation, the GPS antenna needs to have at least
a partial view of the sky (increasing the amount of sky visible will
provide correspondingly better performance). The antenna should
be mounted either externally (in a protected position) or in an internal
position with a view of the sky (for example, on a window ledge).
If you choose to mount your antenna internally, best operation will be
achieved by choosing a window facing towards the equator (ensure
the window is not coated with a metallised lm as this may disrupt the
GPS signals).
Having chosen a suitable installation location, secure the GPS
antenna in position using the adhesive tape supplied.
Once installation is complete, connect the antenna cable to the
‘ANTENNA’ connection on the front of the GNSS decoder.
2.2 - Installing the GNSS decoder
The GNSS decoder converts the raw satellite data into highly
accurate time information. The decoder should be installed internally,
close to the GPS antenna (the GPS antenna has a captive 3m (9ft)
pre‑terminated coaxial cable for connection to the decoder).
PLEASENOTE:THEGNSS DECODER IS NOTSUITABLE FOR
EXTERNALINSTALLATION.
The decoder should be secured in position using the integral surface
mounting brackets. Care should be taken to ensure the xings used
(not supplied) are suitable for the application. Figure 2.1 below details
the enclosure bracket xing dimensions.
