  • Bluetooth® 5.2 Gateway – Reports on nearby Bluetooth tags and sensors for affordable tagged asset management and sensor monitoring applications.
  • User-Replaceable Batteries – Uses off-the shelf 2 x D Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LTC) batteries for extreme temperature operation.
  • Adaptive Tracking – Periodic or optional movementbased tracking – tracks assets throughout the day and/or when movement occurs, entering sleep mode when inactive to conserve power and data usage.
  • Battery Life Alerts – Battery Meter with “Battery Low” and “Battery Critical” alerts.
  • Tamper Detect – Magnetic Tamper Detect.
  • Ultra-Rugged – IP67 rated housing ensures the device can withstand fine dust, high-pressure spray, and submersion for 30 minutes in 1m of water.
  • Powered by2 x D Cell (3.7V per cell) batteries for super long battery life. LTC batteries also offer continued operation in extreme temperatures.
  • Designed for tracking non-powered assets where super-long battery life is required.
  • Equipped with a Bluetooth® 5.2 Gateway, enabling it to communicate with Bluetooth tags.
  • 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, high G-force events, and more.
  • Magnetic tamper switch provides an instant alert if the device is removed from your asset.
  • GPS signals are boosted by a special low-noise amplifier (LNA).
  • Store weeks of records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for over 27 days of continuous 30-second logging.
  • Easy installation.
  • Two-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Installation can be managed by qualified auto electrician or Datalink Technologies.

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 Meter with “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 for enhanced location-based actions and alerts. Maximum of 500 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.
  • Tamper Alerts – Magnetic tamper switch provides an instant alert if the device is removed from your asset.
  • 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).
