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 |
Additional note for above specs
The * (star symbol) in the specification serves as an info that each current sensor draws 20mA+.
