The GPS based Timer is designed for applications requiring Time Synchronized events at multiple locations. The units consist of a GPS module with an external antenna to communicate with satellite based GPS system. The internal
Real Time Clock (RTC) is synchronized within 1 millisec accuracy with the GPS clock signal at regular intervals. This results in cancellation in any timing error due to drift in the RTC of the timer unit.

The unit can be programmed by the user by setting date & time for ON/OFF operation of internal relay at preset time
intervals. Thus precise operation of the control output at the set time is achieved.

When several GPS timer units are installed at various locations, it is possible to achieve synchronized operations of output relays within a timing accuracy of 10 millisec using these timer devices.
