TrimTrac ProE Locator Technical Manual v2.0e 53
Vehicle Adapter or Control Module without Alerts
WARNING:
Before inserting a Vehicle Adapter or Control Module into a TrimTrac base
unit:
A)
Connect the red (+) and black (-) wires to a 9-32 VDC power source and
install a 100k Ohm resistor across the yellow wires; OR
B) Set the TrimTrac MPA Mode to “1=Disabled”.
FAILURE TO DO EITHER OF THESE WILL CAUSE THE TRIMTRAC
PROE TO IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATE A MEDIUM PRIORITY ALERT
AND BEGIN TRANSMITTING NOMINALLY EVERY 2-3 MINUTES
UNTIL AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IS RECEIVED.
Use the AT+CTKY command as shown below to disable all alerts.

Construction Equipment Monitoring
Many construction equipment scenarios are “exception” based reporting
applications, meaning reports are not typically sent unless there is some sort of
exception to the normal daily routine. Exceptions might include, for instance,
equipment that has left a designated construction site, motion outside normal
hours of operation, or the need to perform some sort of maintenance based upon
runtime hours. Alternately, it may be beneficial for billing or taxation purposes to
track how long a PTO-driven implement, such as a hole digger, is used vis-à-vis
total operation of the engine. The TrimTrac ProE can be configured to address
these scenarios.
The TrimTrac ProE has two resetable runtime meters. One is based on motion
while the other is hardwired to either a Vehicle Adapter or Control Module as a
LPA input. The motion based runtime meter can be used on either battery
powered or Vehicle Adapter or Control Module equipped TrimTrac ProEs. Use
of runtime meters will help manage maintenance schedules and track equipment
usage for deployment, billing and taxation purposes.
