Meinberg LANTIME M150 DIN-Rail NTP Time Server

Description

The Meinberg LANTIME M150 is a compact NTP time server in a DIN-rail aluminium chassis, built to give a control cabinet, substation or telecom room its own traceable time source. It synchronises to satellite or long-wave radio signals and serves accurate time to NTP and SNTP clients over Gigabit Ethernet, with the same LANTIME operating system, web interface and REST API found across Meinberg’s larger servers.

Picking the reference receiver

The receiver is the main choice when ordering. The GNS receiver listens to all four satellite systems and is the usual pick where the antenna has a clear sky view. The GPS and GNS-UC versions are supplied with Meinberg’s IF antenna, and the GNS-UC version also receives Galileo through an up-converter. The PZF option is a DCF77 long-wave receiver and is only useful within range of that transmitter, so it is rarely relevant for sites in the Gulf. Tell us the antenna position and cable length so the right receiver and cable set can be specified.

Fitting it into a cabinet or substation

The slim DIN-rail housing mounts beside controllers and switches, and the 100 to 240 V AC or DC supply accepts either mains or a station DC bus, with a 48 V DC option for telecom power. Place the GNSS antenna where it sees open sky, away from metal obstructions, and install surge protection on the antenna line. Time then reaches SCADA servers, historians, protection relay gateways and network equipment through NTP or SNTP. For installations that also need PTP or IRIG outputs and redundant modules, step up to the modular Meinberg LANTIME M1000 modular time server; other network gear is listed under industrial communications.

Documents and quotation

The linked document is the Meinberg LANTIME M150 data sheet. Meinberg states that no online manual is available for this model, so ask for the manual through us if your project needs it. Before ordering, confirm the reference receiver, antenna and cable length, supply voltage and whether NTS or other security features are required. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Muscat, will prepare a quotation from this information.

About brand

Substations, telecom nodes and data centers need every device to agree on the time, and Meinberg time servers are a common way to do it. Meinberg Funkuhren, founded in 1979 in Bad Pyrmont, Germany, builds NTP and PTP time servers, GNSS receivers and signal distribution equipment. Seven Star LLC sources and supplies Meinberg LANTIME time servers for utilities and networks in Oman, including the M1000 and M320 listed here.

Meinberg LANTIME models listed here

The LANTIME M320 is a 1U rackmount NTP time server. It works as a stratum 1 source with its own reference receiver, and Meinberg offers it with GPS, combined GNSS, DCF77 (PZF), MSF and IRIG time code references. The LANTIME M1000 is a 1U platform on the modular IMS system, with slots for up to two reference clocks, two power supplies and hot-pluggable I/O modules, plus PTP (IEEE 1588) and IEC 61850 time synchronization.

Ordering a Meinberg time server: what we need

A Meinberg order code describes the build. In M320/GPS/AD10, GPS is the receiver and AD10 is the wide-range AC/DC power supply. Send the full code or serial number, the reference source, oscillator option, supply voltage, the outputs you need (PPS, 10 MHz, IRIG, extra LAN ports) and the antenna cable length. GCC utility projects often require redundant supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What reference signals can the LANTIME M150 use?
GPS, a combined GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou (GNS) receiver, GPS and Galileo with up-converter (GNS-UC), or a DCF77 long-wave receiver (PZF).
