1. Features
1.1. Introduction
[Figure 1- 1] PTS-10 Time Server
The PTS-10 Time Server is a standard time server. It supports high precision reference
clock, which can be synchronized to absolute time such as GPS, BDS, and GLONASS.
The reference clock can also be synchronized to local time source through an external
IRIG-B interface, PPS interface or other local time sources. Built-in OXCO help to
provide stable reference frequency source. System supports multiple sources time
sync auto selection algorithm which can perform stable switch between GPS, BDS,
GLONASS, IRIG-B, PTP and local clock, and sky/ground and master/slave clock backup.
PTS time server provides flexible time synchronization signal output slots which can
help to configure different timing output interface channel. The output timing
channels include PPS, PPM, 10M, IRIG-B (DC), IRIG-B (AC), Serial Time Signal (TOD etc.)
etc. Plus, PTS-10 supports network sync time protocols NTP/SNTP/ IEEE1588 V2.0.
IEEE1588 works in several modes by the software configuration including grandmaster
clock, slave clock and boundary clock. PTS-10 has LCD to show any status and do
configuration by keyboard. Meanwhile, PTS-10 is designed to send timing source
status and clock status to control center by IEC61850 MMS, IEC60870-T104, DNP3.0,
Modbus, etc.

For IRIG-B time reference source, the first part of line named IRIG is shown below.
[Figure 2-8] Time Reference (IRIG-B)
For PTP time reference source (i.e., the PTS-10 is working as PTP Slave Clock and
Boundary Clock), the first part of line is named PTP.
[Figure 2-9] Time Reference (PTP-Slave)
[Figure 2-10] Time Reference (PTP-Boundary)
For any kind of time reference source, the last part of line always shows time
synchronization mode. For seeking status, ‘SEEK’ is displayed; for initial status, ‘INIT’ is
displayed; for sync status, ‘SYNC’ is displayed; for lock status, ‘LOCK’ is displayed; for
time adjust status, ‘RCRV’ is displayed; for hold status, ‘HOLD’ is displayed.

2.3.3. PTP Mode
The PTP mode is shown at last part of top line. The PTS-10 might work in one of the
following modes:
Master
PTP Grandmaster Clock
Slave
PTP Slave Clock
Boundary
PTP Boundary Clock
[Figure 2-17] PTP Mode
2.3.4. Sync Source
The sync source is shown at middle part of bottom line. The display format depends
on the sync source.
Use GPS as sync source, the display format is shown below:
GPS:xx Ant:xx Fix:xx
GPS
The amount of locked GPS satellites at present.
Ant
GPS antenna status. Following is the status introduction:
OK: antenna normal
UV: low antenna power supply voltage
NV: no antenna power supply voltage
OC: antenna over current
Fix
GPS fix mode. Following is the mode introduction:
3D: The best fix mode.
2D: 2D fix mode. Not enough tracked satellites
HD: Hold over. Just lost the tracking to satellites, but time
accuracy should be OK.
No: No fix. No satellites are tracked.
