Overview
The Qtanium 400 is a ruggedized Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) unit that is installed into
heavy duty vehicles (assets) such as those used for construction. It communicates with a
server and allows information about the asset to be stored and monitored.
The Qtanium 400 is a combined GPS (Global Positioning System) and communications
product that contains:
a GPS receiver to provide accurate location data
a cellular antenna that enables data to be transferred between the asset and the
server
an on-board microprocessor for data processing and storage, and external
communications
6 Digital I/O and 2 Multi I/O
an internal battery that is charged from a permanent external power supply, such as
the asset’s battery, through the power cable. When fully charged, the internal
battery has the capacity to report one event per day for up to three months. It takes
approximately 25 hours to charge the internal battery following a full discharge,
although this time can vary depending on the external temperature
In addition, the Qtanium 400
can optionally be connected to:
an external lead-acid backup battery, to avoid full discharge of the internal battery
a solar panel for trickle charging the internal battery
a maximum of 6 Teletrac Navman temperature probes
an MDT, M-Nav, or other serial device
other auxiliary devices
