Argus In-Cab Charger Battery

• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.

• A fully charged new battery gives up to 4 hours of camera use at +22ºC.

The rechargeable battery system has been specifically designed to fast-charge the Argus4 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (P7030R)

The charger is to be used with the Argus4 Charging Shoe (P7030CS) and is mains powered. The charger is a fully automatic “smart charger”, monitoring voltage, time and temperature and ensures optimum charge for the battery.

Additionally:

• The charger has a built-in start timer that eliminates early termination of charging when a battery is first connected to it. This prevents batteries that have not been used for some time, or are completely discharged from showing a fully charged status incorrectly.

• If the battery temperature is too low, the charger will start with a trickle charge until the correct operating temperature has been reached.

• If the battery temperature is too high, the charger will reduce the charge rate until the normal operating temperature has been reached.
  

Argus In-Cab Charger

The Battery Charging Truck Mount will charge the camera battery pack without the need to remove the battery from the camera. It is designed to allow a Truck Battery Charger (P7030TBC) to be mounted on top, providing the facility for charging a spare battery.

• Charges new battery using a 12/24V supply

• Designed to provide secure storage

• Instant access to Argus thermal imaging cameras

• Quick push button release

• Maintains the battery at full charge at all times

• Charging can continue whether the vehicle is parked, running or in normal operation.

Argus External Power and Video
Adapter

The Argus4 and Argus SC External Power and Video Adaptor (EPVA) allows an Argus4 camera to be powered from an outside source and for the video to be viewed over a wired network connection. It can be powered from a wide DC input source and is supplied with a vehicle accessory plug. The EPVA replaces the Argus4 integral battery pack on the top of the camera. The camera on/off button is no longer required as the camera will turn on automatically when power is applied to the EPVA. The camera will display a start-up screen until a usable thermal image is produced. The video output is enabled either by using the transmit button function on the camera or by using the customer software.

The P7030EPVA is constructed from durable materials with high resistance to heat, water and impact and is sealed to IP54. No end-user maintenance is required other than external cleaning with a soft cloth.

Features

• 10 V – 32 V input voltage. Automatic camera switch-on.

• Standard or industrial Ethernet connectivity.
