The Omicron CM GPS is a high-precision GPS-based time synchronisation unit, purpose-built for coordinated protection testing and distributed system verification. By providing stable and accurate timing signals, it enables synchronised operation of test equipment and protection devices across multiple substations or sites. Compact, portable, and compatible with Omicron CMC test sets, the CM GPS ensures reliable time-stamping and accurate coordination of modern IEC 61850 systems as well as legacy equipment.
