In environments where a stray spark can cause havoc, Juniper
Systems' ultra-rugged Archer Field PC(TM) offers a margin of
safety. This durable handheld computer is now FM Approved as
non-incendive for use in Class I Div 2 areas. The non-incendive Archer
can be used safely in hazardous environments where explosive gases or
liquids may be present -- refineries, chemical plants, gas or oil
pipelines, compressor and pump stations, oil field production facilities
and other sites.
The Archer's non-incendive rating complements the other tough
standards it meets. It is rated IP67, the highest possible dust- and
waterproof rating, and it meets military standard MIL-STD-810F for
standing up to shock, drops, vibration, altitude, extreme temperatures,
water, humidity, sand and dust. Safe operation in difficult and
dangerous conditions positions the Archer as a capable field computer
for assessment, workforce management, inspection, data collection and
mobile GIS applications.
The Archer case is made of a sturdy, lightweight magnesium alloy
and features an easy-to-grip over-molding in high-visibility orange or
gray. Outdoors, it's a natural -- vibrant color display,
transflective screen and large, backlit keys make for comfortable
viewing.
The Archer's high capacity Li-Ion battery delivers more than
20 hours of operating life on a single charge and recharges in five
hours or less. The Archer Power Dock is an optional desktop cradle that
charges the Archer battery and provides a USB connection for
synchronizing with the desktop PC.
Integrated Bluetooth(R) wireless technology is available as an
option. Peripheral SD and CF cards with an extended cap enhance
Archer's versatility. Extended caps accommodate a GPS receiver, bar
code scanner, RFID scanner, cellular modem, WiFi, or data storage card.
Simply plug the cards in, and attach the appropriate extended cap for a
fully sealed package.
A suite of Microsoft Windows Mobile(R) applications is
incorporated, including mobile versions of Word, Excel, Internet
Explorer, Outlook, PowerPoint and Activesync. The Archer is configurable
in 16 languages, providing rugged dependability to users worldwide.
