Specification

The specs for the HTG and HFT devices are:

FeatureHFT
Size
(excluding antennas and connectors and mounting brackets)
172 (W) x 178 (L) x 82 (H) mm
Weight
(without battery)
1700 g
Operational temperature-10°C to 60°C
Operating external voltage10 to 24V DC max
Current consumption:
Measurement mode

From mains external power source (10-24V)

* Fully charged battery / No battery connected
No sensor connected: 29 mA
VEXT+ = 12V DC, no sensor connected

1 sensor connected: 87 mA
2 sensors connected: 124 mA
3 sensors connected: 165 mA

4 sensors connected: 202 mA

VEXT+ = 12V DC, each sensor (4-20mA) output current 13 mA.
Current consumption
Measurement mode

From external power source

* Discharged battery connected
580 mA (for battery charging)

VEXT+ = 12V DC, no sensor connected

<740 mA approx (for battery charging plus sensors)
VEXT+ = 12V DC, each sensor (4-20mA) output current 13 mA.
Current consumption
TX/RX (transmit/
receive) mode

From external power source

* No sensor connected
Ethernet typical 700 mA
VEXT+=12V DC

3G typical 800mA
VEXT+=12V DC
Note: Current consumption varies, strongly depends on reception conditions
Recommended batterySEALED, RECHARGEABLE, LEAD ACID BATTERY ONLY.

6V nominal, 12Ah capacity
Estimated device life period between charging when powered from internal battery2 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 input2 pins of 3 pin connector, 10 - 24 V DC max

12V DC recommended for use in stationary location
Solar power input2 pins of 3 pin connector, 10 - 24 V DC max. 12V DC (nominal) recommended
Sensor input connectors4-20mA, 24V max, 4 connectors, each 2 pins
Binary output, latching relayOpen/closed relay contact. 24V DC max, 1A max
Binary input (optically isolated)Input voltage = 24VDC max
RS485 interface
DA/DB
Galvanically isolated RS-485 communication interface for external devices using HyNet protocol
RS485 interface
PA/PB
Auxiliary RS-485 communication interface for external devices, like HyDip Pinpad
CIF interfaceCustom RS-485/232 interface for connecting to dispensers, current loop adapters and converters
3G antenna inputSMA/F connector requires SMA/M fitted antenna
GPS antennaSMA/F connector requires SMA/M fitted antenna
USB interfaceUSB-B connector for connecting to PC to configure and monitor HFT device.
