How do I install the device?

See Wired Device Installation Guide

 
 

Do I need to install in-line fuses?

No, the device has internal protections including a self-resetting thermal fuse. The Dart2 is load-dump and short circuit protected and tested - so that it can withstand the harsh electrical environments of vehicle installations. 

 
 

Does the Dart2 do Driver ID?

Yes, there are a wide variety of DM and 3rd party readers available that will work with the Dart2. To read a variety of card types and suit many applications, see - Driver ID Reader Options

 
 

Can I set up the Dart2 to be able to remotely immobilise the vehicle, or only start when there is a valid Driver ID?

Yes, see Driver ID & Immobilisation methods with Powered Devices

 
 

Can I get an alert when the unit is unplugged or tampered with?

By default, the Dart2 will send an upload with the log reason "External Power Removed" if it is unplugged. The internal Li-Po back up battery will mean that it will keep operating for a while (How long will my back-up battery last?) after this happens. An alert needs to be set up on the end software platform to notify users. For TG see Getting Started - Alerts

 
 

Can I get harsh cornering, rollover and speeding alerts?

Yes, see Harsh Event Setup and Accident Detection and Reconstruction 
For speeding alerts, the device will report it's speed, and then the end platform can alert on this.

 
 

How accurate is the speed reporting?

We use high quality components and make use of GPS Aiding Data to ensure the best performance. Typically, speed is accurate to within +/- 2km/h. But GPS isn't perfect or 100% error free, it can in rare instances be wrong, see here: GPS Settings and GPS Accuracy.
