Lightly uuUsed, in very good cosmetic condition and fully
working. This 'K' variant unit has the optional 10Mhz and
1KHz outputs installed. The original 8 Channel Motorola
Oncore GPS receiver has been replaced with a $260 modern
replacement from ublox which is much quicker to achieve sync
to GPS and which will provide an accurate date beyond 2037.
The internal lead acid back up battery is also new at the
time of listing, but its longevity cannot be guaranteed as
it may discharge between listing and eventual shipment.
Replacements however are very affordable.
These clocks are configured by means of a small
control application (https://www.ese-web.com/ftp/esegps.exe)
that runs under Windows 32/64bit and which communicates via
a
straight-through serial cable (not included). So
please only purchase this if you have a PC with a serial
port and cable which you can use to set up the date,
timezone offset, cable length etc. You may need
to run the config application when you first power up the
unit before it will show the correct time and/or date, or
before it will achieve sync. If required I can send the
buyer the control application via email. The
included antenna is basic and is included to allow you to
test the unit immediately upon receipt. For a proper
installation, a durable external weatherproof antenna is
highly recommended. Almost any of the generic 5V conical
type antennae with a gain of 26dB or more should suffice.
This is a 115V AC device. No unpictured cables, accessories
or documents are included. No printed manual is included but

Description
The ES-185A is a GPS Master Clock/Time Code Generator. The unit receives accurate time and date information from Global Positioning System satellites and supplies this data to the user in a variety of forms. An 8-channel receiver is employed, although reception of only one is required for time data to be output. ESE's ES-185A offers an accuracy of better than 10nS.
