Cellular/Satellite-based Vehicle Tracking System:
The GPS500 Duo is a compact wireless
communications platform integrating GPRS and
Satellite communications into a single compact
and durable package to provide a low-cost, dynamic tracking solution. That's right! The GPS500 Duo
brings cellular (GPS data is gathered from the satellites, but nees to be sent to the Server via cellular) and satellite capabilities to the table.
The GPS500 Duo offers a
solution that is seamless in coverage. A GPRS
cellular coverage solution offers a real-time
tracking solution which updates every 5 minutes.
Once cellular coverage is no longer present, the
GPS500 Duo will start to report via satellites up to
once every 15 minutes. This allows the GPS500 Duo
to be able to report it's location regardless of
current coverage.
The GPS500 Duo is designed
to be used in areas where assets are operated primarily in Cellular-range, but do move in to more remote areas where Satellite coverage is required to track the asset or vehicle. The GPS500 Duo
offers a low cost, simple to
use solution with the option of locating the unit
on demand.
Key Features Include:
 Locate on demand from more then 80%
of the globe
Reporting from every 5 minutes to
every 24 hours
Seamless Satellite Coverage even in
oceans
Quick and simple installation
Multiple inputs/outputs to monitor PTO's, doors,
switches, etc.
Scheduled or event driven reports
Real time tracking and reporting with
historical reports and trails
Receive alerts via text or email
The GPS500 Duo
is "pingable" (15-30 minutes to receive location)
Recommended Use:
Trucking
Forestry & Logging Applications
National Parks
Rural Operations, Limited Cellular Coverage
Benefits of GPS500 Duo
:
Easy to install, and very reliable, the GPS500 Duo
is a 'low-usage" device, ideal for providing location updates 1-6 times per day. Recommended use is for tracking and monitoring location of powered-assets and inventory (battery solution optional). If the battery is used, conveniently, the reporting system will show battery life with every event, this way a user can monitor battery life and plan to replace when needed.
The GPS500 Duo vehicle tracking system is the ideal unit for use when two-way communication is not needed. Positive information on all assets equipped with the GPS100 ensures accurate information for use in modeling, planning, asset utilization, and possibly the most important area, customer service. Rather than only a very few individuals in an organization knowing where the assets are, GPS100 allows Sales, Marketing, Management, Customer Service, Maintenance, Shipping and Customers, to have all the appropriate information in a time-sensitive manner.
The GPS500 Duo has capabilities to monitor up to 16 different alarms. These alarms can be used to monitor PTO's, Power disconnect, Door monitoring, etc. Utilizing an alarm cable, these monitoring capabilities are available to the user to assist in mananging efficiency and costs.
The GPS500 Duo
provides fleet managers with a low cost, easy to install, reliable and power-efficient means to keep tabs on anything that has a view of the sky. A variety of sensors are available to monitor alarms, exceptions, intrusion, temperature, G loads and much more.
The GPS500 Duo
is one more tool that our customers have to fight inefficiency, rising costs, security concerns, incomplete information flow, and decision making without current information.
Installation:
Installation is a simple 3-wire install. The GPS500 Duo
only requires a power (9v - 32v), ground wire, and ignition wire (optional, required for ignition events) to be installed. Two antennas also need to be installed -- a GPS
antenna and GPRS antenna for cellular
coverage.
The GPS500 Duo may be mounted with
screws or double sided tape and zip ties.
The only requirement is the unit must be able to see the sky during normal operations of the asset.
Locates:
The GPS500 Duo
monitors location of the vehicle in 5-minute intervals when in Cellular range, and in 30-min to 24-hr intervals when in Sat mode (outside of cellular range). The GPS500 Duo
is customizable and can be programmed to report as often as needed, even reporting at one interval when stationary, and another interval when in motion!
Battery Solution:
The GPS500 Duo
maybe installed using a battery solution if needed. The unit will send battery levels with every update and notify the user of battery levels at all times.
Other Features:
The GPS500 Duo
is small and compact. It is environmentally sealed and meets FCC standards, CE and IP56 standards. The unit offers 4 digital inputs to monitor different applications.
Alarms:
The GPS500 Duo has capabilities to monitor up to 16
different alarms. These alarms can be used to
monitor PTO's, Power disconnect, Door
monitoring, etc. Utilizing an alarm cable these
monitoring capabilities are available to the user.
Reports:
There are several useful reports that help the user understand where their assets are, and where they have been, and when.
Activity Report - Time, date, location, address (when available, longitude/latitude when address not available), engine run time report, speed report, and more.
Satellite Imaging & Mapping - See a "bread crumb" trail showing the movement of your asset, in 30 minute to 12 hour intervals.
Geofence Report - Print reports that show which geofences were crossed, and at what time/date. Or, automatically receive alerts via text/email at subsequent "track"/update.
Inputs Report - This will show all activity for inputs such as PTOs, pumps, generators, etc.
Settings:
There are numerous admin settings that let users organize and customize their vehicle tracking needs. Settings are an Admin privilege and can be disabled per user request.
Company Emails - This will let the user setup emails for alerts and schedulers.
Units - You can customize unit names
Groups - Users have the ability to assign units to a group for organization.
Geofences - Provides the ability to create borders in area and be notified via email and/or cell phone once asset/vehicle enters or leaves a specified area.
Reports Scheduler - The user has the ability to receive reports via email on a scheduled basis. User defined schedule of daily, once a week or monthly is available.
