GPS and timing systems

5.3.1

XGPS

Syntax: on/off XGPS

Switches on or off the GPS system. To save power consumption under
normal operation, the CD24E1 only powers on the GPS occasionally to

update timing information. You can override this with the XGPS
command, where on/off is 0 to switch off the relay, and 1 to switch

it on. Once switched on, the system will check the GPS, update the fix,
and switch off for the period set by the HR-CYCLE command (see

below).

5.3.2

HR-CYCLE

Syntax: interval HR-CYCLE

Sets the interval between GPS fixes. The system will power on the GPS

system every interval hours and synchronize its internal clock with
GPS timing signals. Once the internal clock is sufficiently close to GPS

time, the GPS system will be automatically powered down for another
interval hours.

Setting interval to 0 will make the CD24E1 leave the GPS on

continuously. This is recommended if your installation has access to
mains power.
