HET-300o Heavy Equipment Tracking Module

The HET-300o Heavy Equipment Tracking Module is specifically designed to provide location tracking and management for construction equipment and other vehicles that operate in harsh environments. The HET-300o includes a GPS receiver and two-way satellite communications modem that provides contact with the FMS data center (Fleet Central) from virtually any location around the globe. Satellite communications are provided via the ORBCOMM satellite network. The module can connect to 12V electrical systems and comes in a self-contained, weather-resistant enclosure.

The small, low profile HET-300o module has full RF/EMI protection and shielding to ensure optimal performance, while allowing enhanced system sensitivity. An extended operating temperature range and a vibration-resistant design ensures reliable operation in remote and severe environments. The unit can be connected to additional on-board sensors, enabling alerts and warnings of various engine conditions such as engine temperature, oil pressure and total engine hours.

The HET-300o module can be configured to continuously monitor sensors and report at selected intervals. Alarm conditions can be pre-programmed allowing automatic alert notifications. Reports can be generated on a regular schedule, by exception-only reporting, or in any combination.
