PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Holux 213U is an ultra compact, ultra light, simple to use USB mini G-mouse type slave GPS receiver that is ideal for vehicle navigation, mapping, security, monitoring and surveying applications.

Waterproof to IPX7, weighing just 80 grams and about the size of half a hard boiled egg, it can be mounted to a vehicle body using the magnets on the underside of the unit, or secured using the supplied suction fitting to e.g. a windscreen or fascia panel.

The unit has a single LED which provides status information to the user: The LED is ON when power is connected and FLASHES when it has acquired a position.

The Holux 213U communicates with other electronic devices via compatible dual-channel via USB interface and saves critical satellite data in its built in back up memory.

The unit has a low power consumption and can track up to 20 satellites at a time. It re-acquires a satellite signal in 100 milliseconds and updates position data every second. User initialisation is not required.

Trickle power function allows the unit to operate only when required and Push-To-Fix permits the user to gain a quick position fix even though the receiver may be in “sleep mode”.

CHARGING AND BATTERY

A built-in 3V rechargeable battery provides back up power for the internal clock and memory. The unit itself charges automatically during normal usage – there is no need to charge it separately.

HARWARE/SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY AND INTERFACES

• IBM Pentium compatible PC and above with 16MB memory and above.
• Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/7.
• VGA Graphic Adapter

The software and device have been thoroughly tested with each of these operating systems. Because of the multitude of possible PC configurations we regret that we are unable to provide support for individual driver, software or connectivity problems.

The GR-213U interface protocol is based on NMEA 0183 ASCII as defined in NMEA 0183 version 2.2 and RTCM Recommended Standards for Differential Navstar GPS Service version 2.1 RTCM Special Committee no.104 Type 1,2,9 or WAAS (USA) or EGNOS (Europe).
