Spectracom 8183 NetClock/GPS Satellite Master Clock Receiver
was $2,000! Includes Antenna, Power Supply & Connector Blocks
Great Condition Guaranteed to Arrive Fully Working
The Spectracom NetClock/GPS Master Clock is a precise, traceable time provider. The NetClock/GPS receives and recovers time information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation of satellites. The GPS constellation consists of 24 satellites placed in 6 orbital planes spaced equally around the equator and inclined at a 55-degree angle. This design assures reliable worldwide coverage 24 hours a day. Each satellite contains a redundant system of highly accurate and stable atomic clock sources. The satellite s timing, orbital position and other system parameters are monitored and controlled by ground stations maintained by the US Department of Defense and US Naval Observatory.
The clock comes with everything you need to receive accurate time from the GPS system. I am including a new 27dB gain antenna, a power supply and a set of connector blocks for the rear to get you started. A copy of the manual is not included, however this may be downloaded if needed.
This is a very capable piece of equipment and you can find all functionality documented in the user manual.
The included power supply is rated at 24V @1A and should also work on 230V, although I have not been able to test this. Alternatively, a generic power supply conforming to the spec below may be used instead (note the unusual polarity on the barrel connector):
* DC Input: 12 to 36 VDC, 20 Watts.
* Connector: Barrel, 5.5mm O.D., 2.1mm I. D.
* Polarity: Positive shell, negative center.
