Key features:
The STR-100
Satellite Time Reference is used as a GPS receiver with a Trimble Acutime Gold antenna, or as a
protocol converter, accepting an IRIG-B precision time signal input and
synchronizing other devices using DCF77 or 1per10.
- Accepts Modulated IRIG-B input, or
- Trimble Acutime Gold antenna output
- Time sync out via DCF77 or 1per10
- IRIG-B time sync out (special order)
The STR-100 Satellite Time Reference Module (STRM) is a microprocessor-based device
that accepts GPS time signals from a smart antenna or receiver and outputs a time synchronization signal
to power system devices for sequence of events recording (SER) applications. The
GPS time source may be a Trimble AcutimeTM Gold GPS “smart antenna” or an amplitude-modulated IRIG-B
signal. The STR converts this time data to a DCF77 or 1per10
protocol signal to provide time synchronization for up to 32 devices,
including PowerLogic meters and Sepam relays by Schneider
Electric and others.
