Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
TREK-775/TREK-776 is fanless and is supplied with either Intel ULV
Celeron® M or LV Pentium® M CPU for higher reliability and perfor-
mance. The ruggedized aluminum enclosure is built without ventilation
holes and makes TREK-775/TREK-776 waterproof and dust proof.
A power source with wide input range suits vehicles such as forklifts and
trucks, which typically operate with 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V DC power.
When equipped with an adapter, it can operate with AC power. TREK-
775/TREK-776 provides 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and expansion options
for wireless transmissions such as 802.11b/g, GPS, GSM and GPRS, etc.
Embedded OS support (WinCE.NET, WinXP Embedded), using OS
images can greatly shorten system development and trouble-shooting.
1.2 General Specifications
General
• Dimensions (W x H x D): 310 x 255 x 80 mm (TREK-775);
310 x 255 x 90 mm (TREK-776)
• Weight: 3.8 kg (TREK-775); 4.8 kg (TREK-776)
• Power supply:
Minimum Input voltage: 6 Vdc. (Supports cold crank Ignition)
Maximum Input voltage: 58 Vdc.
Minimum Startup voltage: 9 Vdc.
Low battery shut-down protection threshold (option): 11 Vdc.
(When the battery voltage level drops below 11V in the vehicle for
more than 30 seconds, the system will start to shut down in order to
prevent battery being drained and will automatically re-activate only
when the voltage is greater than 11V.)
Power Off delay (option):30 seconds. (When system power is con-
trolled by ignition key, then whenever the key is turned off, the com-
puter system will power-off completely after 30 seconds while the OS
terminates.)
* For more detail of optional function please refer to Chapter 4, Sec-
tion 4.5 of this manual.
