What is the TrakrStation?
The TrakrStation is a ground-based receiver and transmitter for UAS position data. It receives broadcasts from Trakr devices on UAS via 915 MHz ISM frequency and transmits the data to the cloud-based FlightLine application for real-time situational awareness, air traffic deconfliction, and operational reporting.
What are the key features of the TrakrStation?
Key features include a mounting bracket for permanent or semi-permanent installation, power and connectivity via PoE, ability to receive data from multiple Trakr devices simultaneously, and transmission of data to FlightLine to prevent collisions and support reporting such as Flight Time, Total Flight Distance, and Maximum Distance from Landing Zone.
What are the technical specifications of the TrakrStation?
Standard: 802.3af (802.3at Type 1); Voltage Range: 37–57 V; Transmit Power: Class 1, 4 W; Size: 887 x 191.18 mm; Operating Temperature: -45°C to +70°C; Frequency: 915 MHz ISM; Interface: PoE.
What is the FCC ID for the TrakrStation?
The FCC ID for the TrakrStation is 2AFTC2CXM.
How does the TrakrStation fit into the Trakr ecosystem?
The TrakrStation receives position and altitude data from Trakr devices on UAS and sends it to FlightLine for display. It works alongside Trakr (onboard UAS broadcaster) and TrakrStationLTE (portable version) to enable real-time monitoring and reporting in FlightLine.
What is included in the TrakrStation kit?
The kit includes: TrakrStation Hardware, Quick start card with QR Code, M12 Ethernet Cable IP67 M12 X-CODED RJ45 CAT5, Hose Clamp 1-5/16" - 2-1/4" (quantity 2), LoRa Gateway 3dbi Gain Glass Fiber Reinforced Antenna (quantity 2), Shoulder Screw Slotted M5 x .8 8mm Shoulder Length (quantity 2).
How should I unpack and inspect the TrakrStation?
Carefully unpack the device and visually inspect for any damage. Ensure all kit contents are present and undamaged before proceeding with installation.
Are there any tools required for setup?
Basic tools such as a screwdriver may be needed for mounting. A PoE injector or switch and an internet-connected LAN are required for connectivity.
How do I mount the TrakrStation?
(1) Secure the mounting bracket to a pole using the included stainless steel hose clamps. (2) Align the TrakrStation (GRS) with the mounting bracket and slide it into place. (3) Fasten the GRS to the bracket using the included mounting screws. (4) Attach the antennas and tighten them.
What are the power and connectivity requirements for installation?
The TrakrStation uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) with standard 802.3af (802.3at Type 1), voltage range 37–57 V, maximum power Class 1 4W. Use shielded Cat 3 or Cat 5 cabling with a maximum length of 100 meters. Connect via the M12 X-Coded connector to an internet-connected LAN.
Is the TrakrStation weatherproof?
Yes, the TrakrStation is IP67 weatherproof, making it suitable for outdoor installation.
Does the TrakrStation require any additional inputs?
No, the required GPS is integral to the TrakrStation, and no additional inputs are needed.
Does the TrakrStation require any software configuration?
No, the TrakrStation does not require user configuration. It automatically connects and becomes visible in the FlightLine application once powered and connected to the internet.
How is the TrakrStation identified in the system?
The TrakrStation is identified by its hardware label, which includes the serial number and FCC ID. It appears as a node in the FlightLine application.
How do I know if the TrakrStation is operating correctly?
Once connected to power and the internet via the M12 cable, the TrakrStation will become visible as a node in the FlightLine application. There are no user-facing LEDs on the TrakrStation; monitor status via FlightLine.
Can the TrakrStation handle data from multiple UAS??
Yes, the TrakrStation can receive position data from multiple Trakr devices simultaneously on the 915 MHz ISM frequency.
What should I do for regular maintenance during operation?
The TrakrStation is not user-serviceable. Regularly clean it with a soft microfiber cloth rag. Do not use liquid cleaners, chemicals, or degreasers, and do not paint the device.
Is the TrakrStation compatible with TrakrStationLTE?
Yes, both TrakrStation and TrakrStationLTE receive Trakr signals and integrate with the same FlightLine system.
What should I do if the TrakrStation does not appear in FlightLine?
Check the power connection, internet connectivity, and cabling (ensure PoE is active and cable is properly connected). Verify the installation steps. If issues persist, contact uAvionix support with a description of the problem, model, serial number, and contact details.
How do I handle a malfunctioning TrakrStation?
Submit a Support Ticket to uAvionix Support for troubleshooting steps or return instructions. Provide proof of purchase, model, serial number, shipping address, and daytime contact number. Use a shipping method with tracking and insurance for returns.
What if the TrakrStation is damaged?
The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for two years but does not cover damage from accident, abuse, misuse, or unauthorized servicing. Contact support for assessment.
I still have questions. Where do I go for customer support?
