Coming Soon : Juniper Systems’ Archer 2™ Rugged Handheld for Hazardous Locations

[Lurker]

 

 

Juniper Systems recently announced the forthcoming availability of its Class I, Division 2-certified Archer 2™ rugged handheld (Archer 2 Hazloc), designed to perform safely in hazardous locations where flammable gases or vapors may be present.

 

To ensure worker safety, OSHA requires that workers in some industries use only handheld PCs that have been certified Class I, Division 2 (CI, D2). Industries that require CI, D2-certified handhelds include various oil & gas applications, where work locations range from refineries to petrochemical plants, to oil rigs, and others. With the CI, D2 certification, the Archer 2 is certified to perform safely in these types of hazardous locations.

 

Archer 2 Hazloc also offers a number of benefits important for collecting data in extreme environments. These include a superior IllumiView™ display that provides excellent view-ability outdoors, an amazing 20+ hours of battery life, an ultra-rugged, dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof design, enhanced GPS performance, barcode scanner, and RFID-compatibility.

I love this thing. Its price is cheaper than trimble juno sc and have almost the same specification. recommended .

do you have one of their product jonah?

Nop... i use trimble Juno SC..with Net R9 before (Donated by AusAid of course). But i recommend the juniper archer  to my mentor for the next project and we compare the prices and specification of this equipment and he says we can save much with the same output. I downloaded some of its detailed specifications and compared it to Juno. and my mentor was impressed with its capability. That's all i can say.. but i really wanted to have one of this in the future...

I use the previous Archer v1 and highly reccomend it. Good build quality & very flexible - I use for digital level, total station and GPS via bluetooth or USB (even old equipment with RS232 serial can be connected). Plus I have the mobile GPS receiver add-on that allows differential post processing. I use Carlson SurvCE & ESRI Mobile GIS for software.

 

V2 with the added keyboard & camera looks even better - the GEO versions are able to post process too, plus has GPS/GLONASS option.
