The latest in manufacturing methods and material selection has allowed the Scorpion to provide the ultimate in Man-Pack terminals.
The elevation head is completely captive and houses all the RF components which have been specified to operate in extreme weather conditions. The entire unit is IP65 rated, all the RF connections and control are completely sealed so no dangling wires or connections to be made.
The base unit contains the tripod, which has cantilevered gas strut legs that raise the base of the unit 120mm off the ground, mitigating the ground effect heating and allows the Scorpion to be used in wet and muddy conditions.
The Man-Pack can be powered from either AC mains (110-240 (VAC)), or direct from a DC source. We also have a battery pack option for our lower power terminals.
