Acutime 2000
GPS Smart Antenna for Precise Timing and Synchronization
Trimble’s new Acutime ™ 2000
GPS smart antenna marks the
integration of the latest GPS
technology into a rugged self-
contained unit that enables easy
integration into any system.
The Acutime 2000 is a pole-
mounted GPS receiver and
antenna in an environmentally
sealed enclosure. The Acutime
2000’s design continues
Trimble’s line of GPS smart
antennas, which have been in
production since 1991. It is the
perfect solution for precise tim-
ing and synchronization of
wireless voice and data networks
and provides a cost-effective and
independent timing source for
any application.
Once power is applied, the
Acutime 2000 automatically
tracks satellites and surveys its
position to within meters. It
then switches to overdetermined
time mode and generates a
pulse-per-second (PPS) output
synchronized to UTC within
±100 nanoseconds (one sigma),
outputting a time tag for each
pulse. The Acutime 2000’s
T-RAIM (Time-Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitor)
algorithm ensures PPS integrity.
Designed for long-term
reliability, the Acutime 2000
GPS smart antenna is water-
resistant and weatherproof, and
has a rounded top that facili-
tates run-off from the elements.
OPTIONS
The Acutime 2000 is available
in a number of configurations
to suit all environments. The
standard Acutime 2000 is an
8-channel receiver; a premium
12-channel option is also
available. The interface is
available in either an
RS-422/485 (for long cable
runs required by buildings
or towers) or an RS-232.
GETTING STARTED
The Acutime 2000’s Starter
Kit makes it easy to evaluate
the exceptional performance
of this GPS smart antenna and
integrate state-of-the-art
technology into your system.
The Starter Kit includes the
Acutime 2000 smart antenna,
a 100' interface cable, user
guide, RS-422 to RS-232
converter, and a Windows
software tool for monitoring
and communication.
The Acutime 2000 is the premier time source for synchronization of wireless voice
and data networks.
