What is the TrakrStationLTE?
The TrakrStationLTE is a mobile UAS position data receiver and transmitter. It receives position data broadcast by Trakr devices onboard UAS and transmits it to the cloud via LTE towers, enabling real-time display in the FlightLine situational awareness tool for air traffic deconfliction and operational reporting.
What are the key features of the TrakrStationLTE?
Key features include: Powered by standard DeWalt rechargeable batteries for mobile use; LEDs indicate power and GPS fix status; Receives UAS position data from multiple Trakr devices simultaneously on 915 MHz ISM frequency; Transmits received UAS position data to cloud-based FlightLine via LTE to help prevent airborne collisions and facilitate operational reporting.
What are the technical specifications?
Size: 243.93 x 135.2 x 60.2 mm; Weight: 65g without antennas or battery; Operating power: 2 W; Operating Temp: -45 to 70°C; Operating duration: Dependent on battery size (e.g., 1.7Ah up to 17 hours, 5Ah up to 50 hours, 8Ah up to 80 hours); Frequency: 915 MHz ISM; Antennae: 2x ISM antenna.
What batteries are compatible with the TrakrStationLTE?
It is powered by DeWalt 20V MAX rechargeable batteries, such as the DEWALT POWERSTACK™ 5Ah battery (DCBP034), providing up to 12 hours of runtime. Larger batteries can extend operation up to 80 hours.
What is the FCC ID for the TrakrStationLTE?
The device contains FCC ID: 2AFFTC2XISM.
What is included in the TrakrStationLTE kit?
The kit includes: TrakrStationLTE Hardware, 4G LTE Omni-Directional Antenna, RF Antenna 916MHz WHIP TILT SMA MALE x2, Mounting Bracket, Quick start card with QR Code.
How do I install the TrakrStationLTE?
The TrakrStationLTE is a standalone device that requires no physical network connection. Insert a charged DeWalt battery, attach the antennas, and place it in an elevated location such as on top of a vehicle or mounted on a tripod.
Can the TrakrStationLTE be mounted on a tripod?
Yes, it can be mounted on a standard camera tripod using the included 1/4-20 extension attachment.
What tools or materials are needed for installation?
A charged compatible DeWalt battery and the included antennas and mounting bracket. No additional tools are required for basic setup.
Does the TrakrStationLTE require any configuration?
No specific configuration is required. Once powered and ready, it will automatically become visible as a node in the FlightLine application.
How do I connect the TrakrStationLTE to the FlightLine tool?
It connects automatically via LTE to the cloud-based FlightLine once powered on with a battery and antennas attached. No manual connection steps are needed.
How do I know if the TrakrStationLTE is operating correctly?
Check the LEDs: POWER LED (Green) solid indicates powered; RDY LED (Blue) blinking indicates ready. Once ready, it will appear as a node in the FlightLine application.
What should I do during normal operation?
Ensure a charged DeWalt battery is connected, place the device in an elevated location for optimal reception, and monitor UAS positions in real-time via the FlightLine tool.
Can the TrakrStationLTE receive data from multiple UAS simultaneously?
Yes, it can receive position data from multiple Trakr devices simultaneously on the 915 MHz ISM frequency.
How long can the TrakrStationLTE operate on a single battery charge?
Operating duration depends on battery size: up to 17 hours on 1.7Ah, up to 50 hours on 5Ah, up to 80 hours on 8Ah. With the recommended DEWALT POWERSTACK™ 5Ah, it provides about 12 hours.
What should I do if the POWER LED is off?
Ensure a charged DeWalt battery is properly connected and latched into the cradle. If the issue persists, contact uAvionix support.
What if the RDY LED is not blinking?
The device is not ready. Check battery charge, antenna connections, and ensure it has a clear view of the sky for GPS. If still off, perform further troubleshooting by contacting support.
How do I clean the TrakrStationLTE?
Clean regularly with a soft cloth micro-fiber rag. Do not use liquid cleaners, chemicals, or degreasers, as it is not waterproof. Do not paint the device.
What if the device is not appearing in FlightLine?
Verify power and ready status via LEDs, ensure LTE antennas are attached and there is cellular coverage. If issues continue, email or call uAvionix support with model, serial number, and problem description for troubleshooting steps.
