Antenna Connection Overview
The TimeProvider 5000 chassis has one antenna connection located on the front of
the IMC module. The antenna connection is made via a SMA connector, labeled
GPS. The connectors are DC isolated and AC bypassed to frame ground. This
connection is used for a radio receiver antenna connection only. Installation
procedures for GPS antennas are outlined below.
Planning the Installation
Prior to installing the antenna, you should plan the site, antenna location, grounding
scheme, cable route, and all other details.
Locating the Antenna
Use Figure C-1 as a guide to locating the antenna.

antenna where high-power radio signals are beamed directly at the
unit. Such signals can damage the preamplifier of the GPS antenna.
