Connecting the GPS receiver
Never connect the RJ45 connector of the connecting cable
directly to a network device such as a router or switch. These
devices could be damaged.
The GPS receiver is plugged directly into the GPS connection module. The connection cable has a length
of 5 m. It may be extended using an RJ45 coupling and an Ethernet cable. The connection cable should
not be laid in parallel to live conductors. Twisting or sharp kinking of the cable should be avoided.
Commissioning
•
In the settings menu change time synchronization to „NTP server / GPS“
•
Check the time synchronization status
•
The time synchronization can be restarted by switching the time synchronization off and on again.
•
Time synchronization via GPS and NTP server may work in parallel. If both synchronization sources
are available, the system uses the more accurate time source, which is normally GPS.
When connecting a GPS receiver for the first time or when it has been out of
operation for a long time, it may take up to 1 hour for finding enough satellites for
GPS receiver operation and thus for a reliable time synchronization.
