Dolphin HomeBase Device

Overview

As the hub of your system, the Dolphin HomeBase device charging and communication cradle supports both RS-232 and USB communication, enabling your terminal to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise systems.

Communication

RS-232 transmits data at speeds of up to 115 Kbps. With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps.

HomeBase devices cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy- chaining”–but can be networked together through serial or USB hubs.

Convenient Storage

Intelligent battery charging makes the HomeBase device a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your terminal.

Capacity

The HomeBase device can charge two battery packs: the one that’s installed in the terminal seated in the well and the other in the auxiliary battery well on the back panel. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the HomeBase device also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well charges a battery pack independently of the terminal well.

Intelligent Battery Charging

The HomeBase device completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four(4) hours.

In addition to charging, the HomeBase device powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity.

As a result, terminals may be stored in the HomeBase device without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals.

Power Supply

The HomeBase device is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert the voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 7.4 volts DC required by the terminal.
