wireless temperature monitoring device Piccolo TMX+

Piccolo TMX+ Portable Temperature Tracker

The industry's most advanced & versatile Standalone GPS unit for portable temperature monitoring

Up to 5,000 GPS & Temperature readings on a single charge

The portable, wireless GPS temperature tracking device is Packaged in an IP67 waterproof enclosure with integrated GPS and cellular antennas, equipped with an 7800 mAh rechargeable lithium back up battery and an external digital temperature sensor with +/- 0.9˚F (+/- 0.5°C) accuracy, the unit monitors the temperature
in a closed area such as a refrigerated truck and will transmit it periodically to the cloud platform. 

The TMX is purpose built for tracking the temperature status of perishable goods as they move through the distribution chain, from warehouse & freezers, to refrigerated trucks, containers and packages.

How it works

Once placed in the refrigerated area the Piccolo TMX is normally in deep sleep mode configured to wake up once every XX minutes, read the temperature with the current GPS position and send it with a time stamp to the platform.

In order to preserve battery life wake up every
XX minutes (for example every 5 minutes) read the temperature with the battery life and time stamp store it in the Piccolo TMX memory and send all accumulated reading with their respective time stamps to the platform every YY minutes (for example every 60 minutes).

The unit is small-sized to fit in parcels & cargo and is packaged in an IP67 waterproof enclosure with integrated GPS and cellular antennas. It is equipped with a an extremely long battery life rechargeable lithium back up battery and with external digital temperature sensor of +/- 0.5˚ C, +/- 0.9˚F accuracy.

Product Features

Supports up to 6 wired digital temperature sensors, with an accuracy of +/- 0.5˚C, +/- 0.9˚F.

Assuming temperature reading every 5 minutes but sending the accumulated 12 readings once an hour to the platform, the 7800 mAh battery life will be around 5000 temperature readings.

Sends immediate alerts on temperature changes.

Easily reconfigure the Piccolo TMX+ Over-The-Air or by sending SMS commands.

Packaged in an IP67 waterproof enclosure with integrated GPS and cellular antennas.

The unit can change mode of operation , the frequency of transmitting GPS and temperature when entering a pre-configured geo-fence
and/or when vibration or movement is detected.

With every transmission the Piccolo TMX will send the current battery level to the server.

Fast charge from an external standard 12VDC wall charger via a waterproof connector

Easy to configure several reporting intervals based on customer specific operational requirements.
