(click image for a larger view)
The IRIS TT autonomous trailer tracking unit is powered by a solar panel with back up LiPO battery to provide a minimum operational life of 5 years based on a duty cycle of 5 minute positional information, 12 hours per day.
FEATURES & FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
- The tracking provides positional data once every 5 minutes when the trailer is moving and for a minimum period of 12 hours per day over a continuous 365 day period. The journey end point will be determined by the receipt of 3 positional data messages at 5 minute intervals where the speed calculated by the GPS is <= 2 KPH, after this period if still stationary the unit will enter sleep mode. When in sleep mode the tracking unit will provide an update of positional information every 6 hours.
- The low power RF Network provides wireless system expansion via individual RF nodes capable of detecting door opening, temperature monitoring and other trailer activity.
- Power to the tracking unit is to be maintained by a combination of back up batteries and the provision of solar recharging. The unit is capable of 24/365 operation based on the above duty cycle.
- The charging circuitry is capable of powering the tracking unit and charging the back up batteries in accordance with manufacturer's specification. The IP67 housing is vented as required by the battery manufacturer.
- The IRIS TT is self contained, water resistant to IP67, structurally resilient and meets the requirement of roof mounting on a heavy goods vehicle.
- Data communication between the trailer tracking unit and the host is over GPRS or SMS.
