Alarms can be restricted to specific time periods. Outside of those time periods, no alarms will be triggered. The restriction is applied to all alarms of the vehicle.

Temp. |°C|

Temperature alarms are only displayed, if related data is coming from the tracking device. iButton temperature sensors that are connected to the tracking device, are automatically recognized and do not need separate settings.

...

The installation/connection of accessories, sensors, switches or signals must be done by an expert and needs to be tested. The input/output of the tracking device may be changed before installation/connection.

Description

Requirement

Ignition

Digital

Very Important

The ignition signal (ON/OFF) is used to determine stops. The ignition needs to be connected to the correct input and the input must be correctly configured in the software and tested.

1: Ignition ON (Start of the trip)

0: Ignition OFF (End of trip)

Many reports and alarms only work, if ignition is correctly connected.

Alarm push button

Digital

Simple push button for alarm or emergency situations. When the switch is turned on, an alarm is send per e-mail or SMS.

Simple push button

Private mode switch

Digital

Used to switch between private or business trips.

0: Business trip

1: Private trip: Addresses get hidden or deleted in logbook reports (see Options).

Simple toggle switch

New customer push button

Digital

A button press creates a new geofence at the current location.

Simple push button

Fuel tank protection

Digital

Triggers an alarm if the fuel tank gets drained.

Additional component tank protection device

Further input signals

Digital

Are interpreted and displayed as auxiliary drive, if signal is active.

Connect to unused input

Analog fuel level sensor

Analog

Fuel level is displayed between 0.5 to 5.5 volts.

Can be configured under the tab "Advanced".

Connection of analog voltage

Engine (voltage based)Virtual
Most modern tracking devices transmit the current on-board voltage, which comes from the permanent plus. If engine is ON, voltage is most of the times higher, e.g. 28000 mV, and the input engine (voltage based) can be set to ON and evaluated in a report.

Make sure that the minimum voltage is dropping under the threshold value after turning off the engine. If this is not the case, the input for engine or work can be set to OFF via the extended function of input 1 (ignition) OFF.

Minimum voltage for engine ON must be correctly set for the vehicle.

Check correctness of the signal.

If necessary, set input to OFF when ignition is OFF.

Work (movement based)Virtual

Most modern tracking devices use a movement sensor. If movement is detected, input work can be set to ON and evaluated in a report.

Make sure that the signal switches to OFF after movement has stopped. If this is not the case, the input for work can be set to OFF via the extended function of input 1 (ignition) OFF.


Movement sensor must send valid data (Device-configuration)

Check correctness of the signal.

If necessary, set input to OFF when ignition is OFF.

Minimum speed0, 1 or higher

Default = 0 ... Logbook entries start with ignition ON (independent of speed) and stop with ignition OFF.

1 or higher ... Logbook entries only start, if ignition is ON and the speed is at least 1. This prevents logbook entries were the vehicle is still standing with ignition ON. Logbook entries will not contain any stops.
