Spectracom TSync-PCIe, User Manual

Page: 17 / 61

The board supplies 5 VDC through the receiver module to the external antenna via the coaxial
cable (antenna and cable are sold separately).
The unit can also be operated with an external GNSS receiver (i.e., the receiver is built into the
antenna housing). In this case, the board supplies 12 VDC to the receiver/antenna through its
data communications cable.
NOTE –
The GNSS receiver and the Spectracom GNSS antenna are compatible
with GLONASS. Utilizing this functionality does not require any additional setup
by the user. In this manual, references to GPS also refer to GLONASS, unless
stated otherwise.
NOTE –
The TSync board is compatible with a SAASM receiver for authorized
users. Instructions specific to SAASM operation are provided in a spearate
manual. The SAASM receiver is not compatible with GLONASS.
