nnnn

GPS SMART ANTENNA FOR PRECISE

nnnn

TIMING AND SYNCHRONIZATION

nnnn

The Trimble® Acutime™ Gold GPS

nnnn

smart antenna marks the integration

nnnn

of the latest GPS technology into

nnnn

a rugged self-contained unit that

nnnn

enables easy integration into any

nnnn

system. The Acutime Gold is a pipe

nnnn

thread-mounted GPS receiver and

nnnn

antenna in a single environmentally

nnnn

sealed enclosure.

nnnn

The Acutime Gold GPS smart antenna

nnnn

design continues the Trimble line of

nnnn

GPS smart antennas, which have been

nnnn

in production since 1991. This GPS

nnnn

smart antenna is the perfect solution

nnnn

for precise timing and network

nnnn

synchronization needs, including

nnnn

broadband wireless applications.

nnnn

It provides a cost-effective and

nnnn

independent timing source (within

nnnn

the firewall) for any application,

nnnn

such as fault detection systems and

nnnn

synchronization of wireless networks.

nnnn

Once power is applied, the Acutime

nnnn

Gold smart antenna automatically

nnnn

tracks satellites and surveys its position

nnnn

to within meters. It then switches

nnnn

to overdetermined time mode and

nnnn

generates a pulse-per-second (PPS)

nnnn

output synchronized to UTC within 15

nnnn

nanoseconds (one sigma), outputting

nnnn

a time tag for each pulse. The Acutime

nnnn

Gold GPS smart antenna's T-RAIM

nnnn

(Time-Receiver Autonomous Integrity

nnnn

Monitor) algorithm ensures PPS

nnnn

integrity.

nnnn

Designed for long-term reliability, the

nnnn

Acutime Gold GPS smart antenna is

nnnn

corrosion-resistant and waterproof,

nnnn

and has a rounded top that facilitates

nnnn

run-off from the elements.

nnnn

Physical Interface

nnnn

The RS-422 interface is ideal for long

nnnn

cable runs required by buildings or

nnnn

towers. Standard cables are available

nnnn

in lengths up to 400 feet. Custom

nnnn

lengths up to 1800 feet may be

nnnn

ordered.

nnnn

Getting Started

nnnn

The Acutime Gold Starter Kit makes

nnnn

it easy to evaluate the exceptional

nnnn

performance of this GPS smart

nnnn

antenna and integrate state-of-the-

nnnn

art technology into your system. The

nnnn

Starter Kit includes the Acutime Gold

nnnn

GPS smart antenna (RS-422), a 100'

nnnn

interface cable, user guide, RS-422

nnnn

to USB converter, and a Microsoft®

nnnn

Windows® software tool for

nnnn

monitoring and communication.
