MB-GPS-1
GPS location transducer
Based on the received signal, the MB-GPS-1 transmitter provides
current data for its location:
»geographical coordinates (longitude/latitude);
»date (year/month/day);
»time (hour/minutes/seconds).
The device is equipped with the location module of the GPS
(Global Positioning System) and the GLONASS system (Russian:
ГЛОНАСС, Глобальная навигационная спутниковая система,
Globalnaja nawigacionnaja sputnikowaja sistiema).
The device, based on one of these signals, provides current data
for its location: geographical coordinates (length and width),
date and time.
If the satellite signal is lost, the device continues the countdown
in the internal clock. When the satellite signal is re-established,
the internal clock time is synchronized to the received value.

Do not dispose of this device in the trash along with other waste!
According to the Law on Waste, electro coming from households free of charge and can
give any amount to up to that end point of collec� on, as well as to store the occasion of
the purchase of new equipment (in accordance with the principle of old-for-new, regard-
less of brand). Electro thrown in the trash or abandoned in nature, pose a threat to the
environment and human health.

This action allows devices to synchronise its time with GPS/
GLONASS master clocks and set the clock parameters precisely,
eliminating the need for manual location input.
The MB-GPS-1 transmitter cannot be used in navigation
systems.

Transducer in special, compact-sized plastic box, connected thro-
ugh a PG7 cable gland with circular cables of any length, maxi-
mum diameter ø7. Box with a special sealing flange, fixed to the
ground with 2 screws, closed with a cover with silicone gasket
using 4 screws.

1.Unscrew the screws securing the cover.
2.Pull the cable through the cable gland and screw it firmly in
place so that the inner seal is tight against the cable.
3.If necessary, fix the module to the floor at the target location.
4.Connect the power supply leads to the 24 V and GND termi-
nals.
5.Connect the A-B signal output (RS-485 port) to the Master de-
vice output.
6.Configure the connection – set the communication parame-
ters (use jumpers if necessary to change them).
7.Screw the cover to the case.
To restore the factory settings:
1.Switch off the power to the device.
2.Replace the factory settings restore jumper.
3.Switch on the power supply of the device.
4.Remove the factory settings restore jumper.
Leaving the factory reset jumper in place will reset the
settings every time the power is switched on!
