Lathem's LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer is a Global Positioning Satellite receiver which accesses the accurate date and time signal transmitted by 24 satellites orbiting the globe. The system includes an amplified exterior GPS antenna which receives the transmission from the satellites. An integrated cable links the antenna to an interior receiver module. This module is configured to transmit the signal from the orbiting satellites to selected Lathem devices, such as Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers.
Here are some frequently asked questions about the LTR-GPS:
1.
|
How long does it take for the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer to 'tune in' to the satellites to acquire the accurate date and time? After the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer is installed and the LTR-GPS Antenna has a clear line of sight to 3 of the satellites in orbit, it will take about 3 minutes for the LTR-GPS System to acquire the date and time from the Satellites.

2.
|
How often does the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer send the date and time to Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers? After the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer has acquired the date and time from the Satellites, it will transmit the date and time to Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers every minute.

Can the 25ft cable connected between the LTR-GPS Antenna and the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer be extended beyond the 25 feet? No. The 25ft cable that connects the LTR-GPS Antenna to the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer cannot be extended. If there is an issue with the distance between the LTR-GPS Antenna and the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer the system must be moved in order for the Antenna to have a clear line of sight or the connections between the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer and Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers must be adjusted.

Can the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer be mounted externally with the LTR-GPS Antenna or is it required to be mounted internally? The LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer Must be mounted internally within 25 feet of the LTR-GPS Antenna, which is mounted externally. Only the LTR-GPS Antenna can withstand various weather conditions. The LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer should be mounted in an area with temperature of 32° to 110° F (0° to 43° C), 80% relative humidity with no condensation.

|
Can the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer connect to other Lathem Products, such as PayClock Hardware terminals to keep their time accurate? The LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer only synchronizes with Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers. PayClock hardware terminals obtain the time from the computer that communicates with it. That computer should be connected to an accurate time source in order to keep the right time.

Can the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer synchronize time on the ATX6 Master Transceiver? The LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer only synchronizes with the LTR-512 Series Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers. The ATX6 Master Transceiver would require the ATX-GPS Satellite Receiver in order to synchronize its time.
|
7.
|
Can the LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer synchronize time on the ATX Mini Transceiver? The LTR-GPS Satellite Synchronizer only synchronizes with the LTR-512 Series Master Controls, Digital Wall Clocks and Sonachron Bell Ringers. The ATX Mini Transceiver receives time updates from either the WWVB Signal or other ATX Transceivers.
