How do I install the device?
How the device is ultimately installed is dependant on the application. E.g.
- Are inputs to monitor duress buttons/PTOs etc required?
- Is driver ID/Immobilisation required
See the following guides. Elements of each may be required for your specific application
Do I need to install in-line fuses?
No, the device has internal protections including a self-resetting thermal fuse. The Dart3 is load-dump and short circuit protected and tested - so that it can withstand the harsh electrical environments of vehicle installations.
Does the Dart3 do Driver ID?
Yes, there are a wide variety of DM and 3rd party readers available that will work with the device. To read a variety of card types and suit many applications, see - Dart3 - Driver ID Options
Can I set up the Dart3 to be able to remotely immobilise the vehicle, or only start when there is a valid Driver ID?
Yes
Can I get an alert when the unit is unplugged or tampered with?
Can I get harsh cornering, rollover and speeding alerts?
Yes, see Harsh Event Setup - Dart3 and Accident Detection and Reconstruction + Accident Data Exports - Dart3
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
