Functional Test
1. Once established that the wiring is correct, turn
the keyswitch to the “OFF” position.
2. Plug the wire harnesses into the vehicle monitor.
3. Ensure that all connections are snug and secure.
4. Provided that you have contacted the Allied Sys-
tems Service Department and verified the vehicle
monitor has been activated, either work with your
account administrator or use your Near Me™ app
in conjunction with the following steps to verify that
the vehicle monitor is wired correctly and function-
ing as expected.
NOTE: lt is important that as many J 1939 faults as
possible are simulated to validate that the equipment
provides the alarms you would expect to see on the
Web Center Alarms screen when the faults occur. As
you move through the test of each fault, be sure that
the fault is displayed on the Alarm screen in Web Cen-
ter or on your NearMe™app.
5. Start the machine. Refer to your operator’s manual
if necessary.
6. After the machine has been started, confirm that
the status LED’s on the vehicle monitor are active.
Refer to
Table 3
and
Table 4
for LED status be-
havior and definitions.
7. Once the vehicle monitor is determined to be up
and running, wait 5 minutes and then check the
asset in Near Me™ or Web Center to see if it has
communicated successfully. If there’s any issue,
contact the Allied Systems Service Department to
determine next steps.
8. If you can see the asset in NearMe™ (or Web
Center) confirm the following:
a. Vehicle monitor is communicating with the
Web Center
b. Equipment running status indicates that the
equipment is running
c. Battery voltage level displayed for the equip-
ment matches the expected equipment bat-
tery voltage level (24 VDC)
d. Confirm that the Map location appears to be
correct
NOTE: The vehicle monitor Low Battery Voltage alarm
threshold is set to 23.5 VDC. If it is necessary to have
the threshold adjusted otherwise, please contact the
Allied Systems Service Department.
9. After 5 to 10 minutes, check Near Me™ or Web
Center (for best results, use Google Chrome or
Mozilla Firefox browser for displaying tracking
data) and review the interval data that has been
received from the vehicle monitor to be sure the
data makes sense according to the conditions of
the run. You may need to refresh your Near Me™
view to be sure it is displaying the most current in-
formation that has been received from the vehicle
monitor.
10. Once the interval data has been reviewed, turn
the machine off.
11. After test data and communications are verified,
testing is complete.
12. Once equipment is off, record the equipment run
hours and contact the Allied Systems Service
Department to have them update the run hours on
the vehicle monitor. Please be sure the equipment
control panel is still on for this step in order for the
vehicle monitor to receive the run hours update
properly. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle
monitor from being properly updated and equip-
ment run hours will be incorrect.
