Equipment Setup
GPS synchronization requires a GPS satellite receiver (Option F6885)
and a GPS antenna (Option F6895). When the antenna is connected to
the GPS port on the instrument front panel, it sends the satellite’s timing
signal to the F6000 Instrument.
The GPS antenna comes with the following equipment:
• 100-foot cable
• Connector for the F6000 Instrument (15-pin)
• Connector for the F2000 Instrument (9-pin)
• 12 V DC power supply, with power cord and connecting line
To use the GPS:
1. Connect the 15-pin adapter cable for the F6000 Instrument to the
GPS port on the instrument front panel.
2. Connect the 100-foot cable to the adapter cable.
3. Place the 8-inch diameter GPS antenna outside in an open area.
The antenna should be two to three meters away from walls or other
obstructions to get 360° coverage.
4. Connect the 100-foot cable to the antenna.
5. Connect the 12 V DC power supply to the adapter cable.
6. Plug the power supply into a 115 V or 230 V AC outlet.
7. Turn the F6000 Instrument on.
When the power supply is plugged in and the GPS antenna is properly
positioned, the antenna receives signals from the satellite. The antenna
transmits a pulse per second signal to the instrument, along with a serial
communication stream to identify the time of day. The equipment setup
in Figure D.2 on page D-4 shows all of the equipment required for the
test.
