42-Travel Sensor Err (Refer to Hardware Guide)
[REFERENCE] The travel sensor is reporting significantly more or significantly less than the motion motor sensor
indicates motion.
Possible Cause(s)
Action
Impact sensor
connection
•
Verify that the impact sensor is properly connected to the VAC (connector C103).
•
Log in to the VAC as a Maintenance operator and re-run the configuration wizard
(see Section 2)
Impact sensor cable
damage
•
Verify that the impact sensor cable is not damaged.
•
Replace sensor as needed and retest.
Impact sensor is not
getting power from the
VAC
•
Verify that the VAC is supplying adequate
voltage by unplugging the impact sensor
connector and connecting a voltmeter to pin 1
(positive) and pin
8 (negative) on C103 of the
VAC. The image at right shows how to read
the pin layout and direction.
•
You must have 5.5 ± 0.5 volts DC.
•
If the VAC is not supplying 5.5 ± 0.5 VDC
o
Complete an RMA Request form (See Appendix A)
o
Call
PowerFleet’s
Customer Service for an RMA number.
o
Only the VAC should be returned for analysis/repair.
o
Once VAC is removed, the system MUST be hard-bypassed to use vehicle.
Follow instructions on how to hard-bypass the system. (See Appendix B)
Impact sensor mounting
compromised
•
Verify that the impact sensor is securely mounted to the vehicle chassis near the
vehicle’s center of gravity.
Faulty impact sensor
•
Complete an RMA Request form (See Appendix A)
•
Call
PowerFleet’s
Customer Service for an RMA number.
•
Only the Impact sensor should be returned for analysis/repair.
Motion sensor reporting
motion incorrectly
•
See error code 11
43-VAC Too Hot Move To Cooler Area
–
[FUNCTIONAL] The VAC temperature has increased to levels that can damage
the internal components.
Possible Cause(s)
Action
Ambient temperature is
over 150°F
•
Move the vehicle to a location with a lower ambient temperature until the VAC cools
down.
44-VAC Too Cold, Move To Warmer Area
–
[FUNCTIONAL] The VAC temperature has decreased to levels that can
damage the internal components.
Possible Cause(s)
Action
Ambient temperature is
below -10°F
•
Move the vehicle to a location with a higher ambient temperature until the VAC
warms up.
