An Integrated Mobile Computer System
The Tracer was designed from the ground up to operate as part of an integrated system of mount, computer, keyboard and power source. This total solution approach ensures that all parts of the system work together seamlessly and that users interact with the mobile computing system in a safe and efficient manner. Datalux provides all of the components that complement the Tracer TF120, including a removable keyboard, a vehicle UPS (if required) and peripherals such as barcode and smart card readers. The compactness of the all-in-one Tracer and Datalux’s vehicle mounts combine to create flexible and ergonomic mobile computing systems that can work in larger utility vehicles and today’s smaller cruisers.
Ergonomic Mounting – Datalux TRU-Mount
For vehicle mounting, Datalux leads with the TRU-Mount; this innovative vehicle mount was specifically engineered to work in conjunction with the Tracer to provide a clean, ergonomic installation for a vehicle mounted computer. The TRU-Mounts are optimized for standard police cruisers and SUVs. They positions the display screen of the Tracer front and center to keep the driver’s attention forward and not off to the side. The mount does not impinge on passenger area. In addition to the TRU-Mount, Datalux offers complete mounting solutions for all makes and models of public safety vehicles, including fire apparatus, EMS vehicles and non-standard police vehicles. The Tracer can be attached to the mount using either the proprietary quick release cam lock or for a more permanent installation, using the four VESA mounting holes on the back of the unit.
Super Bright Touchscreen Display
The large, 12.1 XGA screen of the Tracer, with over 1200 nits of brightness, is fully sunlight-readable. It now features a high efficiency LED backlight that enables it to run cooler and consume less power and, furthermore, the advanced backlight controller enables the brightness to be highly adjustable at the lowest settings to ease nighttime viewing. The touchscreen is fully sealed to prevent damage from accidental spills and can be activated with a gloved hand.
Advanced Power Handling
Like the previous generation Tracer, the new TF120 tracer comes equipped with the Datalux Dashboard program. This graphical interface application for monitoring and control of the Tracer computer enables officers and IT personnel to save vehicle batteries and avoid “hard” computer shutdowns without any external hardware. With Dashboard, the user can:
- Monitor input voltage, alternator status, screen brightness
- Select an input voltage or set a timer for a controlled shutdown of the Tracer computer
- Set an input voltage threshold for a warning message
- Set an input voltage threshold for a warning message
- Program commands for operation of the Tracer emergency button
In addition, the Tracer TF120 accepts input voltages from 9-24 VDC and has integrated power conditioning to handle voltage spikes.
Innovative Vehicle Mounted Keyboard
The Tracer is available with the innovative TRU-Keyboard which can be single-handedly clipped and unclipped from the TRU-Mount. It features dimmable, backlit keys and unique steering wheel mount that enables it to be inserted into the steering wheel for stable typing of reports (in a parked vehicle). It is available in two versions, with either full travel switches or a sealed rubber version. In addition, an integrated fingerprint reader will be available in early 2017.
Mobile Data Terminals Designed For Modern Connections
Every Tracer TF120 has built-in Intel 802.11ac next generation WiFi with Bluetooth 4.0 for superfast connections to access points or in-vehicle network devices. For wired connections, the Tracer features six (6) USB ports, including two Superspeed USB 3.0 ports. Dual Gbe Ethernet LAN ports enable connections to TCP-IP cameras. A mini DisplayPort connection can be used for a direct digital connection to HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort external monitors. A legacy RS-232 serial port is also available to connect to older equipment.
