Megger MGTR GPS Timing Reference

MEGGER MGTR GPS Timing Reference

Small and Lightweight. Easy to use Programmable Output Pulse for Synchronized end-to-end testing. 100 ns Accuracy within minutes of startup, 12-channel GPS Timing Receiver. Near-Rubidium stability during temporary GPS signal loss.

The Megger MGTR is a GPS satellite receiver system that performs end-to-end tests of line protection schemes with Megger MPRT and Pulsar relay test systems.

The MGTR is small, lightweight, and field portable. It provides a precise Programmed Output Pulse (POP), with 100 nanoseconds of resolution. This output pulse provides a trigger synchronization of two or more MPRT or PULSAR test systems to less than ±1 µ Sec of the Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).

The MGTR consists of a twelve-channel GPS timing receiver integrated with proprietary microprocessor-controlled timing and interface logic. The MGTR simultaneously tracks all available GPS satellites. The microprocessor-controlled timing and interface logic derives precise timing information. In addition, the MGTR provides a standard 1 Pulse Per Second (PPS), and ASCII serial time message, external event time-tag, a 10 MHz output signal and most importantly, a Programmable Output Pulse for performing end-to-end tests.

The unit comes with a 50 foot (15.2 m) long cable and all-weather, high-performance, high noise immunity antenna with an integrated low-noise preamplifier. The antenna comes with a 4 inch tall antenna mount.
Control of the MGTR is through a standard RS-232 serial connection and an adapter cable with a 9-pin D-sub connector. Software is provided to communicate to, and control the MGTR unit.
