Weight 170g
Housing Ultra-Rugged IP67 Housing. Non-branded housing for optional white-labeling.
IP Rating IP67 rated housing ensures device can withstand fine dust, high-pressure spray, submersion for 30 mins in 1m of water, and extreme temperatures
Installation 10 wire harness
1m Length
Operating Temperature -30°C to +60°C (connected to external power)
At < 0°C and > +40°C the internal backup battery will not be charged as a safety precaution due to the dangers associated with charging batteries at extreme temperatures.
Cellular Antenna Internal
GPS Antenna Internal
3-Axis Accelerometer 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, acceleration, 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 10 days of continuous 30-second logging.
On-Board Speed & Heading The device continuously monitors speed and heading, allowing for over-speed alerts as well as updates on speed and heading changes
On-Board Temperature The device reports internal temperature and prevents the internal battery charging in extreme temperatures. Internal temperature 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
Accident & Rollover Detection Configure accident and rollover alerts triggered by extreme changes in velocity and orientation of vehicle or equipment. Second-by-second GPS data is saved on the device’s flash memory, with a capacity of approximately 2 hours of data. In the event of an accident, a subset of the data (60 seconds before / 10 seconds after) is uploaded to the server automatically (if configured) or can be requested manually for a detailed reconstruction of the incident.
Driver ID Options RFID reader, iButton®, or Wiegand interface for Driver ID, access control, and logbooking
Driver Safety & Behavior Monitor speeding, harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, idle times and more to improve safety and prevent unnecessary wear on vehicles
