Operating Temperature | -30°C to +60°C |
Cellular Antenna | Internal |
GPS Antenna | Internal |
Wi-Fi Antenna | Internal |
3-Axis Accelerometer | 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement and high G-force events |
Diagnostic LED | Diagnostic LED indicates operation status |
Flash Memory | Store weeks of records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for up to 5 days of continuous 30-second logging. |
Speed and Heading | Scanning technology used on the Yabby Edge does not return speed and heading |
On-Board Temperature | The device reports internal temperature which provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise |
SMARTS
Auto-APN | Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware |
Battery Life Monitoring | “Battery Low” and “Battery Critical” alert levels |
Geofence Alerts | The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations |
Impact Detection | Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold |
Intelligent Power Management | Early registration abort and location scan throttling options |
Periodic or Movement-Based Tracking | Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary. |
Preventative Maintenance | Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs |
Run Hour Monitoring | Capture run hours based on movement to understand and optimize asset utilization |
Sleep Mode | Stationary devices enter sleep mode until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage |
Theft Recovery | Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval |
