FTS500 Xenith TBR GPS Disciplined Clock 2111 Comprehensive Drive Aurora, Illinois 60505 Phone: 630- 851- 4722 Fax: 630- 851- 5040 www.conwin.com P R O D U C T B R I E F General Description In a world where precise timing is critical, the FTS500 Xenith TBR (Time Base Reference) is the ultimate partner for your DVB/DAB, wireless communications, timestamping or any other timing vital application. The Xenith TBR module is a GPS driven, mixed-signal phase lock loop, providing a 1 PPS CMOS output and generating a 10 MHz SINE output from an intrinsically low jitter voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO). The 10 MHz output is disciplined from an on-board GPS receiver, which drives the long term frequency stability. The on board GPS receiver at the core of the Xenith TBR is the highly successful and well established CW25 timing receiver. This GPS engine along with a dual oven system provides the highest quality timing and synchronization signals combined with superb holdover characteristics. The unit is housed in a 106x125x56mm stylishly designed, strong aluminum enclosure. The 10 MHz and 1 PPS signal are available on BNC connectors. The antenna input is also a BNC connector and will operate a 5V active antenna. The Xenith TBR requires this antenna to placed outdoors for best stability and consistent performance. The Xenith TBR communicates via RS232 and can be operated and monitored through NMEA or TSIP protocol. The user can observe the status of the unit, time of day, position and satellite quality information via either of the two protocols. The unit has a wide DC power input range, between 8 and 28VDC, via a secure 2 pin Molex type connector. Accessories such as: AC Mains adaptor (all regions), antenna cable, high performance outdoor antenna and serial cable are available as a kit or can be individually purchased as needed.
