SPECIFICATION Part No. : A.01.C.301111 Product Name : GPS Hercules Heavy Duty Screw Mount Antenna Description : Two Stage 30dB Active GPS Antenna. Height 29mm Diameter 49mm UV and Vandal Resistant PC Housing IP67 & IP69K Waterproof Rating 3M RG-174 RP-SMA(M) – Standard RoHS Compliant Applications : Location based services M2M Telematics Remote monitoring Timing for base stations Vehicle fleet tracking SPE-11-8-018/I/SS Page 1 of 9 1. Introduction The A.01 Hercules is a high performance thread mount GPS antenna designed for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets. Designed for heavy duty work with one piece C&C machined nickel steel base plate and threads, there are also convenient side slots for running cables laterally. Durable UV resistant ABS housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29mm high it complies with the latest EU directives for height restrictions, whilst also enabling covert operation with a diameter of 49mm. Cable lengths, types and connectors are fully customizable. For cable lengths above 5M please use our 40dB LNA A.03 model and low loss cable. 2.
