Overview
This Beitian GNSS module series is an SMT timing module with 1PPS (seconds pulse) output for synchronization and timing applications. Different selectable models support different GNSS constellations and electrical levels (TTL or RS-232), and all listed models require an external antenna.
Key Features
- 1PPS output supported (seconds pulse)
- Multi-mode positioning options shown: single Beidou mode; GPS/BDS/GALILEO/SBAS/QZSS; GPS/GLONASS/BDS/GALILEO/IRNSS/SBAS/QZSS
- UART interface (TTL level shown; RS-232 versions also listed depending on model)
- External antenna required (listed across models)
- Antenna network notes shown: impedance matching 50 ohm; antenna VSWR < 1.6; internal antenna detection and short-circuit protection function

Details

Model specs are summarized for the BE-125 series and related variants, including data level, 1PPS timing, and antenna requirements.

The module is designed for timing applications and supports selectable GNSS modes with a 1PPS seconds pulse output.

Selectable constellation modes help match the module to different timing and positioning setups.

Key electrical, mechanical, and pin details are grouped together for installation and integration planning.

UART wiring and the 1PPS line are laid out for direct connection to a USB-to-TTL cable or controller.

A matched external antenna helps support stable reception and accurate timing output.

The parameter sheet lists electrical limits, output format, operating range, and the required external antenna.

Rear layout and dimensions help confirm connector placement before assembly.

Typical applications include asset tracking and other compact GNSS-enabled products.

The module is pictured with the matching cable and antenna used in the complete setup.
