1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 About the XTERNA Module
XTERNA is our new concept for s nchronising time and capturing
outdoor temperature for displa on our clock and thermometer kits.
Driven b a PIC microcontroller with advanced low power modes, the
XTERNA captures time from GPS satellites ever 6 to 24 hours, and
stores in an on-board Temperature Controlled Cr stal Oscillator
(TCXO). Further, the device captures outdoor temperature ever 10
minutes from an on-board DS18B20 digital temperature sensor.
Ever 10 minutes XTERNA transmits the time and temperature data,
which can be received b our XTERNA compatible clocks.
Additional data is transmitted such as batter voltage and GPS fix
time.
Supplied as a complete hobb kit of parts (For shipping reasons,
batteries are not included), the kit takes approx 30-40 minutes to
comfortabl assemble. The TCXO IC is pre-soldered, so there is no
fiddl SMD soldering to worr about.
Naturall , XTERNA is sealed against rain ingress. Batter life is
estimated between 6 to 12 months. We recommend high qualit
branded batteries for the longest operation between batter
changes.
The module should be placed outdoors, but as close as possible to
the indoor clock or thermometer. Avoid direct sunlight and shelter
from rain as far as possible.
1.2 Specification
Working Temperature Range: -40 °C to +60 °C. (-40 °F to
+140 °F)
T pical Reception Range: 10 to 30 Metres (30 to 100 ft).

2. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
2.1 Tools required to assemble the PCB.
The following tools will be required to assemble the PCB:
- Soldering iron with a small tip (1-2 mm).
- Wire cutters to trim the excess component leads after soldering.
(Tip: A small pair of nail clippers works ver well for this
function).
- Wire strippers (Tip: A small pair of scissors is quite suitable).
- Multimeter for identif ing the resistors.
- Screwdrivers.
2.2 Materials you will need.
Solder – lead / tin solder is highl recommended. USE LEAD/ TIN
SOLDER!.
Lead free solder, as now required to be used in commercial
products in Europe, has a much higher melting point and can be
ver hard to work with.
Desoldering wick (braid) can be useful if ou accidentall create
solder bridges between adjacent solder joints.
Decorator’s masking tape.
2.3 Other items you will need.
The XTERNA module is powered b 3 X AA Batteries. We
recommend high qualit branded batteries for the longest service
life between batter changes.

It is recommended that the kit is checked against the list above, to
ensure all parts are present before commencing assembl . Don’t be
alarmed if there are some extra components, as some component
bags are shared between different kit t pes.
The resistors used in the kit are 1% tolerance metal film. The are
marked with 4 coloured bands to identif the value. However it is
sometimes unclear in which direction the bands should be read.
Therefore, we recommend that the resistors be identified with a
multimeter.

4. ASSEMBLY OF THE PCB
4.1 R1, R2, R7, R8, R9 (10 KΩ)
Bend one lead of each resistor sharpl – no large curved bends
which could touch other components – and solder the five resistors
as shown.
4.2 R5 (390 KΩ) , R4 (1 KΩ)
4.3 C2, C3, R3 (1uF)
Note that a capacitor is soldered at the R3 position. You will need
to form the leads of this capacitor to better fit the pad spacing.
These capacitors are not polarized, so the orientation does not
matter.

4.4 Socket for IC1
Ensure the small notch is oriented as shown. However if after ou
solder the part ou realise the notch is at the wrong end, DON’T tr
to desolder it! Actuall , so long as the IC has the correct
orientation, the socket does not reall matter.

4.5 MOD1 (4 X 0.1” Female Header) and T1 (FQU13N10L)
These parts are arrowed below. Don’t solder T1 too close to the
PCB. Keep it 3-5mm from the PCB.
4.6 D1 (1N4148)
Bend and solder D1 with care that the black band is oriented as per
the photo below. There ma be photos in the manual that show it
soldered at the ‘D1’ postion on the component side. Disregard this.

4.7 Prepare the PS Module
First, appl the self adhesive foam pad to the back of the antenna,
then stick onto the plain PCB side of the GPS, oriented so that the
antenna cable can pass through the hole intended for it.
Now clip the antenna connector into the small matching connector
on the component side of the GPS module. It helps to press with a
hard surface, such as a small block of metal.
4.8 Attaching the PS.
From the SOLDER side of the PCB, insert the four socket
receptacles and secure with decorator’s masking tape.
Flip over the PCB and solder the four sockets with minimal solder,
as shown below. As soon as ou see the solder flow around the
annulus, ou can withdraw the solder and iron.
