I need the pin-outs and cable configuration as well. I have the factory cable but without the manual I'm lost. It is my understanding it is available for free to download from Symmetricom if you have an account or you are a Symmetricom customer. Unfortunately I don't have an account, that's why I tried this board. I've scoured Google and the data sheet is as close as I have found.

I also purchased two of these units. Although I could not find a spec. It appears that it has the same Pinout as the: ONCORE Remote GPS Antenna Receiver ACUTIME 2000 Trimble Palisade The Provided cable only brings out pins 1-5, 9, 11, 12 These Correspond to Pin 01Red Vcc (+8 - 36 VDC) Pin 02Purple Port B Recv- Pin 03Orange Port B Recv+ Pin 04Gray Port B Transmit- Pin 05White Port B Transmit+ Pin 09Black Ground Pin 11Green 1PPS Transmit+ Pin 12Blue 1PPS Transmit- I connected +12VDC to Pin 1 and Goind to Pin 9 and after about 20 Minutes I got good 1PPS from Pin 11 with 50% Duty Cycle (500ms). I have not connected the RS422 Yet but on the scope it looked like it was transmiting something. I do not know if the protocol is: NMEA ONCORE Binary Trimble TSIP Trimble TIAP or some other Protocol. As I learn more I will let you know. I have PDF's for both the ACUTIME 2000 and the ONCORE Remote which I can send to you. There is information on www.leapsecond.com about the Trimble Palisade.

Re: [time-nuts] Symmetricon 58534A manual / setup
Tom You are correct; it is a complete unit with a 1pps and RS422 output for time and setup/control. I wanted to try to use 3 of them in/for time stamps for triangulating lightning strike data. With a 100 ns timing accuracy I would think it may work for my application. The manual is available for free (download) from Symetricon if you have an account or are an existing customer. Unfortunately I have neither. Should no one in the time-nuts group help I'll go to Symmetricon next week and I'll be happy to share the manual with you. Don, Interesting on what you discovered on pin outs. I have some units with just wires out and two that came with RJ45's on the end. I'll compare wire colors and hope they match. Thanks for giving me a starting place with the wiring. They have a simple setup program for that series of units but again I don't have it. Protocol, who knows, I have heard it is a variation on nmea, but that remains to be seen.
