Maximum Power Requirement | 4W excluding external sensor power draw |
MECHANICS / DESIGN
Dimensions | 183 x 119 x 39 mm (7.20 x 4.68 x 1.54″) |
Weight | TBD |
Housing | Non-branded housing for optional white-labeling |
IP/IK Rating | Ultra-rugged and waterproof IP68 and IK08-rated housing ensures the Hawk can withstand impact, fine dust, and brief submersion |
Installation | Multiple installation options for securing the device with screws, bolts, cable ties, rivets, and more. Includes 2 cable glands to allow for waterproof cable entry to the housing. |
Operating Temperature | -20°C to +60°C (connected to external power) At < -10°C and > +45°C the internal backup battery will not be charged as a safety precaution due to the dangers associated with charging batteries at extreme temperatures. |
Cellular Antenna | Internal or External |
GPS Antenna | Internal |
3-Axis Accelerometer | 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect tampering (planned) |
Diagnostic LED | 2 Diagnostic LEDs and Push Button for testing and operational status |
Flash Memory | Store months of records if device is out of cellular coverage |
On-Board Temperature | The device reports internal temperature and prevents the internal battery from charging in extreme temperatures. Internal temperature provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise. |
INTERFACES
Digital Inputs | 1 x Digital Input with configurable pull up/pull down 0-40V DC input range On/Off thresholds: On >2V, Off <1V Can be used for pulse counting (max 40Hz) |
Plugin Board | The versatile and flexible Hawk architecture caters for plug-in cards that define the 9 inputs/outputs, offering limitless options for interfacing to sensors. See the current card list below or contact us to discuss your requirements. |
SMARTS
Auto-APN | Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware |
Battery Life and Voltage Monitoring | LiPo battery and external voltage readings for “Battery Low” and “Power Loss” alerts |
Task Management | Powerful task management allows you to schedule tasks or run tasks based on sensor thresholds and events |
DEVICE MANAGEMENT
