Specification

The specs for the HyDip Tank gauging devices are:

Feature	HTG
Size (excluding antennas and connectors and mounting brackets)	180 (W) x 170 (L) x 57 (H) mm
Weight (without battery)	950 g
Operational temperature	-10°C to 60°C
Operating external voltage	10 to 24V DC max
Current consumption External power source (12V DC) Measurement mode Fully charged battery / No battery connected 3G/4G modem OFF Ethernet OFF Bluetooth OFF XBee OFF	No sensor connected: 39 mA 1 sensor connected: 105 mA* 2 sensors connected: 165 mA* 3 sensors connected: 220 mA* 4 sensors connected: 275 mA*
Current consumption External power source (12V DC) No sensor connected Discharged battery connected 3G/4G modem OFF Ethernet OFF Bluetooth OFF XBee OFF	VEXT+ = 12V DC, no sensor connected 680 mA (for battery charging) VEXT+ = 12V DC 940 mA max
Current consumption (ETHERNET) External power source (12V DC) TX/RX (transmit/receive) mode Measurement mode 4 sensors connected* Discharged battery connected 3G/4G modem OFF Ethernet ON Bluetooth ON XBee ON	1000 mA max, VEXT+=12V DC
Current consumption (3G/4G) External power source (12V DC) TX/RX (transmit/receive) mode Measurement mode 4 sensors connected* Discharged battery connected 3G/4G modem ON Ethernet OFF Bluetooth ON XBee ON	1150 mA max, VEXT+=12V DC Note: Current consumption varies, strongly depends on reception conditions.
Recommended battery	SEALED, RECHARGEABLE, LEAD ACID BATTERY ONLY. 6V nominal, 12Ah capacity
Current consumption Sleep mode Battery operated	1240uA
Current consumption Fully charged battery Measurement mode No communication channel enabled 3G/4G modem OFF Ethernet OFF Bluetooth OFF XBee OFF	No sensor connected: 50 mA, 1 sensor connected: 155 mA* 2 sensors connected: 255 mA* 3 sensors connected: 355 mA* 4 sensors connected: 460 mA*
Current consumption (ETHERNET) Fully charged battery TX/RX (transmit/receive) mode 4 sensors connected* 3G/4G modem OFF Ethernet ON Bluetooth ON XBee ON	700 mA, 6V Battery fully charged, VEXT+=open, VSOL+ = open
Current consumption (3G/4G) Fully charged battery TX/RX (transmit/receive) mode 4 sensors connected* 3G/4G modem ON Ethernet OFF Bluetooth ON XBee ON	800 mA max, 6V Battery fully charged, VEXT+=open, VSOL+ = open Note: Current consumption varies, strongly depends on reception conditions.
Estimated device life period between charging when powered from internal battery	30 days (sampling once per hour and synchronizing once per day, 1 sensor connected only). Adjusting either the sampling or the synchronization period will have a significant impact on battery life. A poor 3G/Next-G signal quality will cause the device to operate in a high power mode for longer periods, which will significantly reduce battery life.
External Power input	2 pins of 3 pin connector, 10 - 24 V DC max. 12V DC recommended for use in stationary location.
Solar power input	2 pins of 3 pin connector, 10 - 24 V DC max. 12V DC (nominal) recommended.
Sensor input connectors	4-20mA/HART, 24V max, 4 connectors, each 2 pins
Bluetooth	Bluetooth 2.1 supported. Bluetooth is enabled after NFC device is detected in proximity.
XBee	Supported 802.15.4
3G/4G antenna input	SMA/F connector requires SMA/M fitted antenna
XBee antenna input	SMA/M connector requires SMA/F fitted antenna 2.4GHz
USB connectivity	USB-B connector
GPS antenna	SMA/F connector requires SMA/M fitted antenna
