6 EQTRACKER
Keep the EQTracker out of the hands of children and make sure children cannot
access the battery of the device.
The internal battery of the EQTRacker must only be replaced by skilled personnel. Do
not open the device unless you are explicitly authorized and trained to do so.
The portable EQTracker devices are used for GNSS positioning of the horses during a race. Each device features
both, an internal antenna for GNSS position data acquisition and a radio antenna for correction data exchange
with the RTK Transceiver or RTK Base Station. A single status LED is used to indicate the current operation mode.
Each EQTracker is equipped with an internal battery that is being recharged using the supplied charging case (see
chapter 7).
The charging voltage for the EQTracker's internal battery is 5 VDC at max. 500 mA (see section 7.1).
Note: The front design can be customized by the ordering contractor and printed with a logo or lettering, for
example.
