GPS Time-Sync-Satellite Time Reference (STR-100)
The CyTime™ STR-100 Satellite Time Reference uses GPS technology to deliver highly accurate time synchronization across power system devices. By converting GPS or modulated IRIG-B signals into widely supported DCF77, 1per10, or IRIG-B outputs, the STR-100 ensures precise event recording for utilities, industrial facilities, healthcare, and data centers. Supporting up to 32 devices, it provides ±50 microsecond accuracy, simplifying compliance and enhancing reliability. With flexible mounting options, optional IRIG-B distribution for long distances, and compliance with global standards, the STR-100 is a cost-effective and dependable solution for precise time synchronization in critical applications.
Features
- High-Accuracy Time Synchronization – Delivers ±50 microsecond precision to ensure reliable sequence of events recording across all connected devices.
- Versatile Input Compatibility – Accepts GPS signals from Trimble Acutime/360 smart antennas or amplitude-modulated IRIG-B, adapting to varied infrastructures.
- Flexible Output Options – Provides DCF77, 1per10, or IRIG-B outputs for up to 32 devices, ensuring broad compatibility with power meters, relays, and SERs.
- Enhanced IRIG-B Distribution – Optional STR-IDM enables long-distance distribution and daisy-chain wiring to multiple devices, saving installation costs.
- Rugged & Reliable Design – Performs in harsh environments with wide operating temperature range, high isolation, and industrial-grade durability.
- Simplified Installation – DIN rail, wall, or panel mounting options provide flexibility for new builds or retrofit projects.
- Standards-Compliant – UL Listed, CE Marked, FCC, and RoHS compliant, meeting global safety and environmental standards.
- Trusted Across Industries – Widely used in utilities, data centers, industrial facilities, and healthcare environments for mission-critical applications.
