High Reliability

Reliable and stable data storage

Data storage stability is critical, and we have improved the reliability of P-10 Pro.

We have optimized the hardware design to ensure that it faithfully records every track point during work. The reliability of data is better than 99.998%* under long-term and large-scale recording.

The Columbus data logger series has provided stable and efficient logging at a very low failure rate since its launch in 2009. So far, Columbus has supplied high-quality products to hundreds of enterprises and institutions around the world.

* Based on our test results. Track points are lost at a probability of less than 0.002%, or no more than one track point is lost in every 50,000 records.

   

Easy to read and process

Storage performance is vital to ensuring its stable logging and dependable storage over a long term.

P-10 Pro uses the MicroSD card storage and supports massive-capacity SDXC cards.

The storage is readily accessible through any plug-and-play USB port, providing seamless compatibility with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Android, that enables you to quickly read tracks across these platforms.

To facilitate statistics and management of massive volume of data collected in a long time period, P-10 Pro neatly arranges its logs by automatically naming track files after date and time, and folders by year and month.

 

CSV, GPX and NMEA

P-10 Pro offers three original track formats for selection: CSV, GPX and NMEA, which is convenient for secondary development and application.

You can also use the desktop software "Time Album Pro" to view the tracks and conversion.

More Durable

IP66 all weather

P-10 Pro can function well under all weather conditions at ease, including the icy, frosty, rainy and snowy days as well as deserts, Gobi, and the high-humidity environment!

P-10 Pro boasts an IP66 protection rating, and can be used in all weather conditions.

All connections between the buttons and the case, as well as the rubber cover at the bottom, are sealed to shield P-10 Pro from water and dust in any extreme weather.

P-10 Pro also works in an extended range of temperature from -10°C to 50°C, to ensure normal use at high latitudes and in tropical areas.

 

Ultra-bright multi-status lamps

We have improved the lamps design of P-10 Pro. Compared with P-1, P-10 Pro has its brightness increased by 100%, ensuring that the operating status can be clearly observed in sunlight outdoors.

HD GNSS data logger is sensitive to the environments, and the location of the device can greatly affect the positioning accuracy. In order to obtain the best accuracy, Columbus has exclusively designed the GNSS status lamp that can indicate various states for P-10 Pro.

GNSS is fixed: The lamp turns green, flashing.
GNSS is in the best positioning: The lamp turns blue, flashing.

 

 
 

Long battery life

The battery life of P-10 Pro is more than 50 hours*, enough for a whole week's work (10 hours a day, 5 days a week) .

 * Continuous recording at 1Hz, with the ambient temperature at 20°C.

 

More intelligent

Motion Detection Mode

Columbus invented the Motion Detection Mode on the V-990 in 2011 and is widely welcomed by users.

The ordinary data logger still works after suspended movement or positioning failure, which consumes power and generates redundant track points. When P-10 Pro is in a static status or has lost the satellite signal for over 5 minutes, it is automatically on standby to save energy.

The Motion Detection Mode extends battery life and optimizes data. Short press the power button to turn on or off the mode.

 

On-board Auto on/off

P-10 Pro is automatically powered on/off with the vehicle, no need for manual operation.

*This function needs to be turned on in the configuration file.

 

Spy Tracking Mode

Columbus invented the Spy Tracking Mode for ultra-long battery life.

This mode achieves ultra-long battery life (up to 24 days) by interval work, and is suitable for tracking vehicles or people when charging is not convenient.In this mode, P-10 Pro gets positioned and logs 8 track points at a certain time interval.

In actual use, the spy tracking mode can not only extend the battery life but also optimize the track data.

The corresponding battery life for different intervals is as follows:
 

Interval time 2 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes 20 minutes
Battery life 12 days 17 days 20 days 24 days

 

×

For example, researchers intend to monitor the activities of cattle in livestock research projects, which needs to extend the battery life of the device as much as possible.

P-10 Pro can be configured as follows:

Step 1:

The interval time is set to 10 minutes in configuration file (SpyModeTimer=10). Complete the configuration of P-10.

Step 2:

Enter the spy tracking mode. P-10 Pro records the track points of livestock every 10 minutes. The battery life in this configuration lasts for about 20 days.
