Introduction

Here's a lightly used GPS disciplined master clock unit in excellent cosmetic condition, with IRIG-B, Serial and 1 PPS outputs plus (a) one optional ST 820nm optical output providing IRIG-B timecode (Aribter Option 20) and (b) a Parallel BCD Output (Arbiter Option 06). This is a DC powered unit, accepting power input in the range 10 to 85V DC. A matched external power supply and barrel connector pigtail cable are included as shown. The unit has been tested to confirm that it works as it should, including showing the correct date. A factory-fresh latest-generation high sensitivity GPS module has just been installed and this achieves sync to GPS within seconds of power up (with a good antenna). The new GPS receiver will show the correct date beyond 2040. The unit comes with a basic antenna to allow you to test the unit immediately upon receipt. For a permanent installation an outdoor antenna with a full view of the sky will be required. The antenna voltage is 5V so almost any professional GPS antenna will suffice. The firmware has been upgraded to the latest version available at the time of listing so you will have no issues with the 2019 Week Number Rollover and the 2007 DST pattern. Note that no rack ears are included but they can be purchased from Arbiter if required. Full product information may be obtained from the User manual at

Important...

This item includes an updated GPS card to replace the now-obsolete model originally installed by the factory.

There's a reason why you can find a lot of Arbiter GPS clocks being sold cheaply. That's because nearly all have failed GPS receiver cards that are reporting the wrong date (ie. nearly 20 years in the past). Sadly most other sellers somehow neglect to mention this in their enthusiasm to sell you a failed device. For the buyer, there's nothing more disappointing than finding after you've gone to all the trouble of rigging up your outdoor GPS antenna that the "precision" clock you just bought can't even show the right date. So before you buy a clock elsewhere, ask the seller for a photo of their clock showing the correct date and time.

Description

Three BNC connectors deliver several output options supporting IRIG-B modulated, and various combinations of IRIG-B unmodulated, Programmable Pulse (supporting multiple output modes) and 1 PPS. All are high drive outputs capable of driving multiple loads wired in parallel.
