Installation
Overview
Installing the TDS2 Server Module involves the following steps:
1. Connecting the TDS2 Server Module to a suitable power source
2. Connecting the TDS2 Server Module to a CDMA or GPS time signal source
3. Connecting to TDS2 Server Module applications
Connecting the Power Source
The TDS2 Server Module can function with alternative power sources. It may be connected either to a mains source
using the supplied AC-DC adapter, or directly to a DC power source.
Mains Source
Follow the steps below to connect the TDS2 Module to a mains power source:
1. Connect the TR36A12 AC/DC adapter to a mains power source via a suitable IEC 32/C8 cable.
2. Connect the TR36A12 AC/DC adapter to the connector on the TDS2 Module back panel.
12V DC Source
Note:
There is a polarity indicator directly below the 12V connector on the rear panel of the TDS2 Module. The TDS2 has
an internal reverse polarity protection diode but does not have fuse protection.
Follow the steps below to connect the TDS2 Module to a mains power source:
1. Fit a 2.5mm DC coaxial plug to one end of a suitable length of power cable.
2. Connect the coax connector to the 12V connector on the rear panel of the TDS2 Module and connect the other
end to the 12VDC source.
Caution:
If you are connecting the TDS Module to an unprotected power source you should use an external 2A fuse.
Connecting to a Time Reference Source
CDMA
Follow the steps below to connect the TDS2 Module to a CDMA time source:
1. Using the adapter supplied with the CDMA receiver, connect the receiver to the CDMA connector on the front
panel of the TDS module using RJ45 cable. If you use any other adapter you will cause damage to the unit.
2. Set the Signal Source switch on the front panel of the TDS2 Module to CDMA.
3. When the CDMA receiver locks onto the network, the PPS LED on the receiver will flash to indicate it is receiving
a signal. The PPS LED on the TDS2 Module will also flash.
GPS
Follow the steps below to connect the TDS2 Module to a GPS time source:
1. Use the adapter, supplied with the TDS2 module, to connect the GPS receiver to the GPS connector on the front
panel of the TDS2 Module. A cable is supplied with the GPS receiver. The TDS2 Module automatically supplies
DC power via this cable to the antenna.
2. Set the Signal Source switch on the front panel of the TDS2 Module to GPS.
3. After a 5-15 minute delay for the GPS receiver to lock onto the satellites the PPS LED on the TDS2 Module will
flash to indicate it is receiving a timing signal.
4. The Serial LED will also flash to indicate time information packets are present.
If for any reason you need to change the GPS settings you can do so by connecting a computer directly to the GPS
receiver using the Trimble Synchronization Interface Module.
