Fluke GPS430-II - GPS Synchronization Module

The GPS 430-II GPS Synchronization Module guarantees that the time clock uncertainty of the Fluke 430-Series II Power Quality Analyzers does not exceed ±20 ms for 50 Hz signals according to IEC 61000-4-30. This performance is necessary to ensure that Class A instruments produce the same 10 aggregation results when connected to the same signal. The GPS 430-II can only be used on the Fluke 430-Series II Power Quality Analyzers.

The Universal Mains-Power Adapter consists of the following items:

• BC430/820 Switch Mode Power Adapter (with dc cable)
• Universal mains cord with male and female connector
• Set of mains plug adapters (6x) for all standard mains outlets
• Brazilian-style mains cord adapter, approximately 0.25 m (10 in)

Carefully check the contents of your shipment. If content is damaged or missing, contact your distributor or the nearest Fluke sales or service office.

To use the GPS 430-II:

• Connect the BC430/820 power adapter output to the GPS 430-II.
• Connect the BC430/820 to the line voltage.

The blinking green LED on the GPS 430-II indicates that the power to the module is turned on (Figure 1).

• Connect the USB connector to the 430 Series II Power Quality Analyzer (PQA).
• Turn on the PQA

On the PQA:

• Push Setup button and F4 (Manual Setup).
• Use the cursor to select Time.
• Push F2 to turn on the GPS.

Note: For the correct reception, the GPS module should not be covered by metal or enclosed in a steel cage. It is advised to position this module close to a window to ensure it picks up as many satellite signals as possible.
