GPS 

It is possible to use a GPS to provide the MONITOR with an accurate, self setting clock.  
MONITOR can be connected to a Garmin GPS 16HVS.   
 

Timekeeping 

When equipped with a GPS, the MONITOR will keep UTC time.  UTC (Universal 
Coordinated Time) is an internationally accept time standard.  UTC will differ from the 
local time by a number of hours.  The user can

 

setup the MONITOR so that it keeps local 

time by changing the variable Local Time Offset.  To get EST, set the local time offset to 
-5 hours. 
 
A MONITOR equipped with a GPS will provide a timing accuracy of ± 1 second. 
 
If you are using a GPS, a MONITOR, and a Sutron SDI-12 device such as the SDR, 
RLR, or CF Bubbler, you may connect the GPS to the SDI-12 device rather than to 
MONITOR.  The correct time will then be used by the sensors and by MONITOR. This 
way you will free up the RS232 port on MONITOR for another device (such as a 
modem).  For details on SDI-12 time sync, please see the section 

SDI Clock 

Synchronization

. 

 

GPS Installation and Setup 

When first installing the GPS, make sure the GPS is positioned so that it has a clear view 
of the sky.  Make sure to connect the GPS to the MONITOR via RS232.  Sutron provides 
a custom RJ45 to RS232 connector for this purpose (the diagram for the connector is on 
page 66).   
 
After connecting the two devices, go the 

Station Setup 

menu on the front panel

 

of the 

MONITOR.  Find the entry called 

Garmin GPS 

and press set to enable the GPS.  Then go 

back to the top of the menu, and hit the down button until the 

GPS status menu 

is 

shown.  If the MONITOR is communicating with the GPS, the menu will say 

GPS initializing

.  If the GPS has acquired a time fix, the MONITOR will show 

GPS 

functioning

.   

 
Pressing right in the GPS status menu will provide more details. 
If the GPS has locked on satellites and is providing accurate time, the menu will show a 
message such as  

GPS has valid time 
5 satellites used in time fix 

 
Pressing down from the detailed status menu will show the 

last GPS time sync

.  The 

time show is the time when the GPS last had a time fix.  If it has been more than 12 hours 
since the last valid time fix, the GPS is not working properly and may need to be 
repositioned (please see page 65).
