A Robust Mobile Serial Data Terminal.
Originally designed as a serial mobile data terminal solution for Taxi, Private Hire and courier vehicles, the Datax3 is already finding its way into many other serial data and control environments.
The Datax3 is not just a mobile data terminal. The Datax3 is designed to provide a rugged and cost effective serial data RS-232 human interface for use in a wide variety of applications. Housed in a tough black anodised aluminium extruded enclosure (natural silver also available), the Datax3 features four fully EIA/TIA-232 compliant serial data communication ports that allow interface to standard devices via field installable RJ11 connectors.
A high contrast 128 x 64 pixel transflective LCD provides viewing in direct sunlight, whilst its pure white adjustable LED backlight provides optimum viewing in darkness. To conserve power the backlight automatically dims when not in use and returns to the user defined brightness for a programmable period after buttons are pressed or the display is updated.
The ‘Classic 8′ arrangement of eight pushbuttons is implemented as the user interface: four programmable pushbuttons beneath the display for user input with two pairs of scroll buttons either side of the display for left or right hand operation. Tri-colour LED’s adjacent to each pushbutton provide visual prompts and indications.
A built-in tone generator and speaker provide user alerts and an audio input allowing the Datax3 to act as an amplified speaker for external devices.
The Datax MMI is housed in a rugged black anodised aluminium extruded enclosure with simple embossed tactile pushbuttons for safe operation by a driver.
Vehicle installation is easy through the use of field installable RJ11 connectors. Installation is unobtrusive due to the cables being easily routable without bulky connectors attached to them. Installation is reliable as the connectors lock securely in place.
Mounting in a vehicle is instant, with its integral rear panel mounting plate compatible with the popular Herbert-Richter range of universal mounts. Herbert-Richter manufacture a wide range of vehicle mounting solutions with a choice of installation methods from windscreen suction cups to heater vent clips.
Removal from the vehicle at night is also instant with the quick release mounting plate and simple release of the RJ11 connectors.
