Hi Well here’s some data to think about:
Pin GPS box Slave box 1 o.c. 1.1 K 2 10 K 10 K 3 1.1 K 1.1 K 4 1.1 K 1.1 K 5 o.c. o.c. 6 1.1 K 1.1 K 7 o.c. o.c. 8 ground ground 9 10 K 10K 10 o.c. o.c. 11 1.1 K 1.1 K 12 o.c. o.c. 13 gnd gnd 14 o.c. o.c. 15 o.c. 1.1 K All of the above are resistance to ground on a unit with no power. Just for reference, the 422 transmitters on the PPS connector read 550 ohms, the receivers read around 3K ohms. Simply put, except for the resistors on pins 1 and 15, the two boxes look a lot alike. No idea if the open circuit (o.c.) is actually connected to something or not.
