Remote Access
The Cascade Data Modem is designed to operate reliably in harsh conditions. It serially connects (RS-232) with any data-collecting or electronic device that is battery, solar or AC powered.
Unlike the average “off the shelf” modem, the Cascade Modem is designed to work in high heat and humidity and in freezing cold temperatures alongside the road in dusty cabinets. It will dependably transmit data and control commands and has a temperature range of –40 to +85 C (-40 to +185 F).
Powering down to 170 micro amps (.001 watts) while awaiting the next call, the Cascade Modem uses far less power than most other modems, which draw as much as 35 milliamperes, or over 200 times as much power. In practical terms, this means a standard “off the shelf” modem requires a 10-watt solar panel while the CDM needs less than one watt of solar power.
The CDM can be interfaced with traffic classifiers, weigh-in-motion sites, weather stations, variable message signs, oil wells, pipelines etc. It is also hardened against lighting and has an external earth grounding to aid in static electricity suppression.
A standard for industry professionals. TT-Link for the PC offers remote site administration and autopolling features to make any organizations automated data collection needs easy. In conjunction with TrafMan, TT-link can monitor download and program remote counters and keep you up-to-date with your remote sites.
The Data Hog is an excellent, easy way to retrieve data from counters in the field. Available in 1 MB, 2 MB, or 4 MB memory sizes, the Data Hog serves as a standalone transfer device – no additional interface device is needed.
A 9-Volt battery powers the unit, which serially connects to both traffic counter and PC computer. Simply plug the Data Hog into a counter, turn on the power switch, and all files will be retrieved. Truly pocket-sized at 2-5/8” x 4-3/8” x 1-1/8,” the unit can be used on multiple counters until its memory is full. A multicolor LED status bar on the unit indicates available memory
