Wireless GPS and Ethernet GPS Time Receivers
The GPS satellites obtain their time from the U.S. Atomic time standard, providing legally
traceable time to the wireless clock system. Two GPS models are available. The RC161
receives GPS time and sends it wirelessly to all master clocks within radio range. The
MCR100GPS receives GPS time and sends it over the computer network to any number of
master clocks.
The RC161 wireless GPS receiver assembly consists of two modules: GPS receiver and wireless
transceiver. The GPS receiver mounts in a location that has a view of the sky, while the wireless
transceiver is normally located indoors. The GPS receiver acquires time data from the GPS
satellites and sends it to the indoor wireless transceiver over a cable. The wireless transceiver
converts the time data to secure time packets and broadcasts the data to the wireless network
once per minute. The wireless transceiver must be located with 150 feet of at least one RC100
master clock (330 feet in open space construction). Repeaters may be used to extend this range.
As soon as the GPS receiver obtains a time lock, the transceiver will begin broadcasting time to
the master clocks.
The MCR100GPS consists of two modules, the GPS receiver and Ethernet NTP time server.
The receiver acquires time data from the GPS satellites and sends it to the Ethernet NTP time
server. The time server decodes the raw GPS time broadcasts and sends the data to one ore
more master clocks over the computer network. A status LED will blink when the interface
receives valid time packets from the GPS receiver.
The RC100 master clock includes an indicator on the right side of the display to indicate when
the clock has received time updates from either a wireless GPS receiver (G*) or an NTP/GPS
network time update(E*). Once the clock locks onto the time signal, the sync indicator will
remain on. If sync reception is lost for more than two hours, the sync indicator will turn off.
There are normally several satellites overhead at any point in time. The GPS antenna may be
mounted indoors on a windowsill. This mounting method allows a partial view of the sky, which
is enough to receive 2 to 3 satellites. The antenna may also be placed below a skylight. The
