the TPIU. See

If you are using the integrated IMC/TPIU, install the appropriate converter cable
(060-58041-03, 1 m/3 ft, right angle connector or 060-58042-03, 1 m/3 ft, straight
connector) to the DB15 GPS connector on the main shelf. Connect the other end
of the converter cable to the RG58 cable from the lightning suppressor.
15.Install fire-stopping material in all holes opened in the roof and/or walls during
this procedure.
16.Check all connections for tightness to prevent arcing and intermittent operation.
17.Coat all exposed connectors with an electrically conductive antioxidant
compound (e.g. Kopr-Shield spray).

To connect the TPIU to the shelf, attach the DB15 interconnect cable (060-58543-03
or 060-58544-03) to the connector labeled “GPS” on the TimeProvider shelf. This
connector is on the front panel of the Model 1000 and on the rear panel of the Model
1100. Connect the other end of the cable to the DB15 connector on the TPIU.
To use the GPS signal, set the TimeProvider to the PRR mode, as described in
