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.
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
