TDS Recon Accessories
Optional accessories make TDS Recon even more versatile
TDS Recon Optical CF-Cap
The new Optical CF-Cap for the TDS Recon features a clear window to
allow the Recon the work with selected CompactFlash cameras and bar
code scanners. The cap is completely sealed to protect CompactFlash
accessories from dust, dirt, water and impacts from accidental drops.
You can bundle the Optical CF-Cap with additional accessories.
TDS Recon PowerBoot Module
The TDS Recon
ships with a TDS PowerBoot Module rechargeable battery pack. The TDS
PowerBoot Module integrates a 3800 mAh NiMH rechargeable battery pack
with industry-standard 9-pin serial and USB ports into a single
component. With typical usage, you can expect about 15 hours of battery
life, or two days' worth of work. As with any battery, length of
battery life is impacted by outside temperature and the type of
CompactFlash cards you use. The PowerBoot Module recharges completely
in about 12 hours. The TDS PowerBoot Module is easy to swap out in the
field. With an additional, fully-charged PowerBoot Module on hand, you
can exchange battery packs in a matter of seconds to continue working.
TDS Recon AA PowerBoot Module
The AA PowerBoot Module allows you the convenience of using AA
batteries. This is ideal for situations where you may be in the field
for an extended time without the opportunity to recharge your Recon
battery. The AA PowerBoot Module can use either alkaline or lithium AA
cells—either kind has an unattended shelf life of years. At room
temperature, the Recon can run for approximately eight hours with two
AA alkaline batteries or 16 hours with two AA lithium batteries. Like
the standard battery, the AA battery boot accessory includes a standard
9-pin serial port and a USB port for connecting your Recon to a PC for
rapid data transfer.
TDS Recon Extended CF-Cap
The TDS Recon Extended CF-Cap lets you use larger CompactFlash
cards without sacrificing the Recon's rugged performance. It supports
larger CF cards, including GPS receivers and 802.11 wireless devices.
The Extended CF-Cap features a base piece to connect to the Recon,
along with a mounting and quick-release locking mechanism for the
extended cap. The cap is composed of radio-wave-transparent materials
to maximize the performance of GPS and wireless devices. Finally, the
Extended CF-Cap can be completely sealed to protect your CF devices
from dust, dirt, water and impacts from accidental drops.
