Product Description:

U Unit K8v7 GPS-TETRAPOL SAIR is the KNOSOS designed high performance GPS positioning unit designed in 2006. It allows GPS positioning of a vehicle and transmission to a control center optimizing the TETRAPOL communications channel, using the most suitable carrier service, including network polling.

Versatile unit
K8v7 GPS-TETRAPOL has been designed for use with the Spanish Home Affairs Ministry SAIR platform and MicroNAV ® software, or any other GIS based software. Data is transmitted on real time by use of short datagrams.

K8 unit sends GPS frames to be drawn on the map of the control centre software. The information transmitted is position, speed, heading and GPS time.
 
The unite integrates digital inputs/output that can be extended with additional digital/analogic inputs/outputs, with the purpose of making telemetering, sensorization and telecontrol in the vehicles.

K8v7 is connected to the TETRAPOL mobile terminal using a RS-232 port. K8v7 unit power supply can be controlled directly for the TETRAPOL terminal.

K8 v7 GPS TETRAPOL unit suports periferical devices pluging by serial port, like printers, data terminal, or specific PLC. And is programable toin dual communications mode with GSM/GPRS, TETRA, WIFI and Bluetooth option.

Adaptable to any vehicle
Thanks to its reduced size and compact and solid structure, the K8v7 unit is the ideal equipment for the most demanding of applications. It combines state of the art technology with tremendously straightforward installation. What’s more, it has been designed in such a way as to minimize electrical consumption by the partially switching off of certain elements.

Maximum functionality
The R&D department personalises the software recorded in the unit, in keeping with the application, therefore achieving the required functionality and adapting it in the best possible way to the communication channel.

  1. 1. The K8 unit is reprogrammable from the base station so that it is able to send GPS positions by distance travelled, by the time taken and by a mixture of both measurements.
  2. 2. The equipment’s serial port NMEA supplies NMEA-0183 streams that are compatible with GPS based navigators on Mobile POCKET PC® platforms or similar.

The system enables the memorization and storing of routes, in addition to alerting the control centre when key predefined positions are reached.
