Securing Your Fleet: AJAX's Innovative Solution to Truck Security
Trucks and their cargo are valuable assets. For owners and operators, ensuring their security, especially during long hauls and overnight stops, is a significant concern. AJAX Systems, a leading name in security solutions, understands this and has unveiled its latest offering: the 12–24V PSU suitable for trucks.
Understanding the 12–24V PSU
Released on June 26, 2023, this upgraded alternative power supply unit is specifically designed to connect an Ajax hub or range extender to an 8-24V⎓ power supply. It replaces the previous 12V PSU for Hub 2/ReX 2 and offers enhanced compatibility, now working seamlessly with Hub 2, Hub 2 Plus, and ReX 2.
What's New?
The standout feature of the 12–24V PSU over its predecessor is its compatibility with the Hub 2 Plus control panel and its ability to function with an input voltage of 24 V⎓. This is a pivotal enhancement. It now empowers security and installation firms to safeguard trucks, both their cabs and cargo areas, from potential intruders.
Why the 12–24V PSU is a Game-Changer
There are specific scenarios where traditional power sources are ineffective or impractical:
- Unstable Electricity: Areas such as empty buildings, rural homes, construction sites, or warehouses might not have consistent electricity.
- Alternative Power Needs: Some vehicles and vessels, like vans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and even yachts, don’t rely on the standard 100–230 V~ mains.
The 12–24V PSU offers a solution in such instances. It allows for the connection of an Ajax hub or a radio signal range extender to diverse power sources, be it a portable battery, a car battery, an uninterruptible power supply (with a backup battery), or even an in-vehicle network.
Notably, with the AJAX hubs' pre-installed bundled battery, they can function up to 16 hours without an additional power source, and range extenders can last up to 38 hours. Pair the 12–24V PSU with an uninterruptible power supply with a 9 Ah battery, and you have a system that can operate independently for well over a week.
Real-world Impact
The practical benefits of this PSU are evident. For instance, Portugalenses Transportes, a transport company, integrated the power supply units of the 12V PSU series and successfully shielded its trucks from fuel theft. This highlights the tangible advantages and peace of mind such innovations can bring to businesses. Combine this innovative technology with a complete security Ajax system i.e., Hub, Siren, and DoorProtect, and safe travels just got safer.
In the dynamic world of transport and logistics, securing assets is paramount. With the introduction of the 12–24V PSU, AJAX Systems reinforces its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions tailored to modern challenges. For truck owners, this means enhanced security and, most importantly, peace of mind.
