Private radio data system for measurement applications

Paul Boughton

The new UHF radio data modem Compact-Proof from Satel features autonomous rechargeable battery power and a robust housing with IP67 protection. It is therefore suitable for all outdoor measurement applications.

The radio data modem Compact-Proof from Satel gives users double advantages – with a powerful lithium-ion battery and the EASy radio data technology including a display and a robust housing with IP67 protection. With transmitting power of 1,000 mW it can be operated fully autonomously as a repeater station in the field for more than 15 hours.

The power can also be supplied parallel via an external rechargeable battery with a solar panel; alternatively, the Compact-Proof can simply be recharged overnight – within only five hours it is ready for the next work day.

The user-friendly installation, the robust IP67 housing and its 4-pin and 8-pin ODU connections make the new radio data modem Compact-Proof especially attractive for measurement applications.

The device features all functions of the Satel radio data modems EASy and 3AS and is 100% compatible with these solutions.

In addition, it supports the radio protocols of Pacific Crest, Trimble and other providers from the GNSS world, which further significantly expands the areas of application. Whether in the rainforests of Vietnam or in the Arctic, the temperature range of -30°C to +65°C and the frequency ranges of 330 MHz–420 MHz and 403 MHz–473 MHz make the Compact-Proof a reliable partner for all outdoor applications.

The housing features a practical, robust and compact design with a display and foil keyboard. Also as a light version – without an internal battery – the device offers numerous advantages for outdoor applications and even withstands the harsh conditions of machine control environments, for example.
