Satellite Transmitter/Repeater:
On models that have been configured to receive time from another transmitter,
you will see a
instead of the GPS symbol
.
NOTE:
When the transmitter is in
and
modes, you will not see
marks constantly. Time reception occurs at
defined intervals depending on a number of different factors. If the
are not coming in continually, it is
not cause for alarm. For the GPS, if the
marks are not appearing, the GPS receiver is not receiving a signal
from the satellites.
The GPS receiver needs to “see” 3 satellites in the sky above before it will send a time signal to the transmitter. If the GPS
receiver has a 360° view of the sky, the process may take only 15 minutes or as many as several hours. The length of time is
dependent on the location (if the unit does not have a full view of the sky, due to wall or window installations, building
“shadows”, etc.) weather conditions (clear or overcast) time of day, and other similar environmental factors. If the
transmitter is receiving its time source from the optional NTP configuration it will send requests to the NTP server at
defined intervals.
NOTE:
The transmitter does not transmit time data until it has received valid time information from a time source.
Once the transmitter receives a time signal, the transmitter sets its internal clock to that time and displays the
correct time and date. The transmitter then begins transmission of its internal time once every second. The
transmitter continually monitors the time source and updates its internal clock with the time data it receives.
The number to the right side of the display is the channel number to which the transmitter will be
transmitting the time signal
LED Status Indicator - XR Transmitter
The XR Transmitter has a system status LED indicator and an LCD display to keep the end-user apprised of the status and
operating condition of the transmitter unit. The system status LED indicator combined with the LCD Panel grant the end-
user up-to-date system status.
To verify that they are working, all LEDs turn on for 2 seconds when transmitter is powered up; after that they indicate the
broadcast state of the transmitter and signify warnings and errors.
l
Green Transmit LED:
Signifies the broadcasting status of the transmitter
l
Steady Green LED: Transmitter is broadcasting time.
l
Flashing Green LED: Transmitter is not broadcasting because of a user scheduled event, such as a
transmitter off request.
l
Green LED Off: This means that it did not get an initial time and is not broadcasting, or a
software/hardware error is preventing full transmission output.
l
Yellow Warning LED:
If flashing, the transmitter needs attention.
l
Red Error LED:
If flashing, the transmitter requires attention.
