Operating Temperature -30°C to +60°C
Cellular Antenna Internal
GPS Antenna Internal
3-Axis Accelerometer 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, high G-force events, and more
Diagnostic LED Diagnostic LED indicates operation status
Flash Memory Store weeks of records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for over 2 weeks of 2-minute logging.
On-Board Speed and Heading Current speed and heading is reported with each position update
On-Board Temperature The device reports internal temperature which provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise

 

SMARTS

Auto-APN Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware
Battery Life Monitoring ‘Battery Low’ and ‘Battery Critical’ alert levels
Geofence Alerts The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations
Geofence Download to Device Geofences can be downloaded directly to the device from Telematics Guru for enhanced location-based actions and alerts. Maximum of 100 Geofences with up to 100 points per geofence.
Impact Detection Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold
Intelligent Power Management Early registration abort and location scan throttling options
Periodic or Movement-Based Tracking Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary.
Preventative Maintenance Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs
Run Hour Monitoring Capture run hours based on movement to understand and optimize asset utilization
Sleep Mode Stationary devices enter sleep mode until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage
Theft Recovery Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval
Tip Detection & Rotation Counting Axis angle reporting, tip detection and rotation counting (planned)

 

DEVICE MANAGEMENT

Flexible Configuration Configure device parameters such as position update rate, movement and accelerometer settings, and more to fit any tracking application
Device Management Platform Manage, monitor, configure, debug, update, and restart devices remotely from our cloud-based device management system
Configuration App Configurable with DM-Link provisioning tool
