Acutime 2000 Synchronization Kit User Guide 2-1
2 Getting Started
This chapter describes how to quickly install, connect and
communicate with the Acutime 2000 GPS Smart Antenna.
!
Note – For permanent installations, see the instructions in Chapter 3.
You will need the following items:
• a PC running Windows
• the Timing Receiver Monitor software for Windows
(also available on the web site)
• an interface cable for the smart antenna
• an RS-422 to RS-232 converter
(included in the Acutime 2000 Starter Kit)
You may require this if you are using an Acutime 2000 with
an RS-422 interface. In many cases, however, a PC’s
communication port is flexible enough to accept an RS-422
signal without a converter.
• connectors/adapters for connecting the interface cable to the
PC’s communication port
The interface cable included in the Acutime 2000 Starter Kit
is terminated with a DB25 connector. The standard interface
cables are not terminated with connectors.
• a DC power source
The Acutime 2000 accepts 8-36 V DC power, and draws
approximately 110 milliamps at 12 volts.
