[time-nuts] how to open a Trimble mushroom ?

[Robert Atkinson]

hi Pete,
If you search the archive you should find a old email with the connector part number. They are normally RS422 out.
 
Regards,
Robert.

I knew I was not the first :-) !

I was willing to sacrifice this one since it was marked intermittent
and I have a total of five. Three of the other four
are still in sealed bags.

As to powering up, I've not yet located any of the cables. I do have
foggy memories of there being some at least
50' maybe 100'.

Their GPS need was only 1 PPS, why the special I don't know.

Thanks !

The two halves do clip together, but there is a "gutter" inside the circumference of the lower half that a molded edge of the top fits into. They fill the gutter with epoxy before clipping them together. I had to cut through the top to open it. It had a curved crossed dipole antenna and a GPS RX on a PCB. All highly inegrated. Have you tried powering it up using the Palisade / accutime connection info and montitoring the data pins?
