                            Why is my device offline?

                            Your device is programmed to check in to the portal every minute when ignition is on and every hour when ignition is off. If the device misses two ignition off events, it will show as “offline.”

                             The device can go offline for a number of reasons, such as:

                            • The vehicle is parked in an underground parking garage or in a metal building.
                            • The vehicle is parked in an area with limited or no cellular network coverage.
                            • The device is uninstalled.
                            • The vehicle battery is lower than the minimum 11 volts needed for the device to operate.
                            • The device SIM may have been deactivated (requires Support assistance).

                            You can contact support via email or phone. We're here to help!

                            Red wire to Constant Power

                            • Used to charge the internal battery and power the device.

                            White wire to Switched Ignition

                            • When power is applied, this will cause the device to report at one minute intervals for the Asset Tracker and Vehicle profiles. When power is removed, the Asset Tracker profile will report at 24 hour intervals, the Vehicle tracker profile will report at 1 hour intervals.

                            Black wire to Ground

                            • Must be connected to complete the electrical circuit.

                            Yellow Wire

                            • PTO (secondary input) #1 on the Customer Portal.

                            Orange Wire

                            • Not used at this time.

                            Green Wire

                            • Not used at this time.

                            Brown Wire

                            • Not used at this time.

                            Blue Wire

                            • Not used at this time.

                             

                            NOTE: Unused wires should be taped out of the way and prevented from making contact with anything metal.

                             
                             

                            Why is my tracking delayed in a big city?

                            The device is programmed to store data when it cannot connect to a cellular network or when that network connection is not strong enough to send data. 

                             

                            NOTE: The most common reason for a device to store data while in an area that should have a strong cell network is network prioritization, where devices including tracking devices are given lower priority on the cell network so phones and tablets have fewer network issues.

                             

                            Storing and forwarding data is a critical feature allowing the device to store the trip data and forwards this data to our servers when the network connection is strong again.

                             
                             

                            What do these LED lights mean?

                            Blue 

                            • Off = reboot
                            • Fast blinking = searching for cellular network
                            • Slow blinking = connected to cellular network

                            Green

                            • Solid = searching for GPS
                            • Blinking = GPS locked

                            NOTE: If the device has no lights, it is not receiving power.

                             
                             

                             

                            Troubleshooting Steps

                            1. Confirm the device is outside and not in a garage or under metal.
                            2. Send the device a reset message.
                              • From the Map Page, select your tracker and select the ‘Troubleshoot This Device’ button.

                             

                            Tracker Information Box with Troubleshoot This Device Button

                             

                            1.  Once ‘Troubleshoot This Device’ has been selected, you will see a pop up window with an option to ‘Reset Tracker’ and ‘Create Ticket.’
                              • ‘Reset Tracker’ sends a reset message to the device, prompting it to check in and come back online.
                              • ‘Create Ticket’ offers a dropdown to select the problem for the selected device or select the ‘Multiple Trackers’ button to create a ticket for multiple devices.

                             

                            Troubleshooter Pop Up

                             

                            If the device remains offline after sending a reset message, proceed with the following physical troubleshooting steps:

                            1. Confirm the device is on top of your equipment with a direct line of sight to the sky.

                            1. Ensure the device is wired properly according to your asset.

                             

                            Example of non-powered assetNon-Powered Asset

                            For Non-powered Assets:
                             

                            Wire to constant power

                            1. If available, obtain the wiring diagram online or from your owner’s manual. Find the constant power wire on your equipment. Strip this wire.
                            2. Strip the asset tracker’s red and white wires, then connect them to the constant power wire from your equipment and crimp. This connection provides power to the device.
                            3. Strip the asset tracker’s black wire and connect it to a grounded source.
                            4. Using screws, zip ties or tape, secure the device to your asset in a spot where there is a direct line of sight to the sky from the top of the device.

                            Examples of powered assets    Powered Assets

                            For Powered Assets:
                             

                            (Note: this is REQUIRED for Mower Tracker)

                            1. If available, obtain the wiring diagram online or from your owner’s manual. Find the ignition wire on your asset. Verify the ignition wire by measuring the operating voltage while the key is in the ON or START position (voltage should read 0VDC when OFF, and typically between 11V and 14V when ON). Strip this wire.
                            2. Strip the asset tracker’s red and white wires, then connect the white wire to the ignition source and the red wire to constant power. This connection lets the asset tracker report ignition ON/OFF events as well as engine hours for maintenance.
                            3. Strip the asset tracker’s black wire and connect it to a grounded source.
                            4. Using screws, zip ties or tape, secure the device to your asset in a spot where there is a direct line of sight to the sky from the top of the device.

                             

                            1. Confirm which lights are blinking when the device is installed.

                             

                            NOTE: If the device does not have lights when installed, it is not receiving power.

                             

                            Image of wired asset tracker with wiring harness

                             

                            Blue 

                            • Off = reboot
                            • Fast blinking = searching for cellular network
                            • Slow blinking = connected to cellular network

                            Green

                            • Solid = searching for GPS
                            • Blinking = GPS locked

                             

                            1.  If the device DOES have lights when installed, connect the device to an external 12 volt battery wired red and white to power, black to ground, and place the device and battery outside overnight.
                              • This is the most ideal setup for the device.
                              • Charging the device overnight outside should bring the device back online.
                              • Once the device is back online, you can reinstall it on your equipment.
                            2. If the device does NOT have lights when installed, install the device in a second wiring harness.
                              • If the device comes online in the second wiring harness, the original wiring harness may have a blown fuse (this 3 amp fuse can be replaced) or the wiring harness may need to be replaced.
