MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS | |
Rugged IP67 rated housing | Nylon Glass Composite housing protects against the elements. This allows the Z9P to be installed internally or externally on any asset in the most demanding conditions. |
Dimensions | L 125 x W 80 x H 25mm |
Operating Temperature | -20°C to +60°C1
1)On external power Below 0°C and above +40°C the internal backup battery will not be charged as a safety precaution due to the dangers associated with charging batteries at extreme temperatures. |
Harness | 7 wire harness |
CONNECTIVITY | |
SIM Size | Micro (3FF) size cellular SIM card |
2G or 4G | The Z9P can be manufactured for specific markets around the world. |
4G Modem | UBLOX SARA-R410-02B
This modem can be configured to operate on either LTE-CatM1 or LTE-NB1 networks. Supported LTE bands: 1-5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28 |
2G Modem | 2G: SARA-G350-02S-01
850/900/1800/1900 MHz |
GPS TRACKING | |
GPS and Cellular Antenna | Internal GPS and cellular antennas tuned by RF laboratories for optimal performance.
Having the antennas inside the housing makes for very simple and quick installation. |
GPS/GLONASS Tracking | U-Blox EVA-M8Q, High sensitivity assisted GPS receiver with TCXO, 72 channel (-167dBm) |
AssistNow Offline | AssistNow Offline aiding data or extremely fast time-to-first-fix and performance in urban canyon environments |
Low Noise GPS Amplifier (LNA) | GPS signals are boosted by a special low-noise amplifier (LNA). This allows operation where normal units will fail to receive GPS signal |
POWER | |
Automotive Power | 8V to 36V DC (max) |
Back-up Battery | 200mAh LiPo internal backup battery pack
The Z9P can also be supplied with 1100mAh battery |
Self-resetting fuse | The Z9P passes stringent automotive power “load dump” tests to ensure that it will continue to operate in the harshest electrical systems. A built-in self-resetting fuse makes installation easy and safe. |
OTHER | |
Internal Memory | Sufficient memory to store over 50,000 records. Normally data is sent to the server immediately but if the device is out of range there is space to ensure no data is lost – for many weeks of driving! |
3-axis accelerometer | Allows the Z9P to detect harsh driving events, and to go to ‘sleep’ when not moving, resulting in extremely low standby current |
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS | |
3 x Digital Inputs | 1 x Ignition input, permanent internal pull down, 0-50V
2 x Digital Inputs, configurable pull-up/pull-down, 0-50V |
1 x Digital Output | 1 x Switched Ground digital output1, easily wired up to switch external lights, relays, buzzers etc. Can be used to immobilise a vehicle.
1) Shared with Analogue Input, meaning only 1 can be used at a time |
1 x Analogue Input | 0-30V Analogue input2
2) Shared with Digital Output, meaning only 1 can be used at a time |
iButton | Low-cost 1-wire iButton reader can be used for Driver-ID |
FIRMWARE SMARTS | |
Auto-APN | Auto-APN allows the Z9P to analyse the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware. |
Text Message Setup | The Z9P can be sent text messages to set the APN, server and other details |
Fleixible Logging Parameters | The Z9P trip logging is flexible and can be configured to log based on a variety of parameters including:
Elapsed time Distance travelled Change in heading Change in speed On Stationary Accelerometer events (harsh driving) |
Accident and Rollover Detection | The Z9P uses the built-in accelerometer to detect high G impacts such as accidents and rollovers and reports these events to the server for emergency alerting. |
Harsh Driving | The Z9P automatically calibrates its built-in 3 axis accelerometer and uses this to detect harsh driving events:
Excessive acceleration Harsh braking Cornering at speed These events are logged in the Z9P along with additional event statistics that allow back-end server platforms to perform sophisticated driver profiling and scoring. |
Accident Data | The Z9P keeps a second-by-second “black box” recording of valuable GPS and accelerometer data for a two-hour window. This data can be automatically uploaded to the server when an accident is detected, or it can be requested manually. |
Geo-Fences | The Z9P has the capacity to hold hundreds of geo-fences that can be downloaded to it from the server. The Z9P can use this geo-fence information to:
Implement arrival and departure alerts Implement speeding zones with audible warning alerts Implement “No-go” and “Keep-out” areas Automatically control outputs, e.g. to switch on warning lights when inside a special area. |
Ignition Detection | The Z9P can determine a trip has started based upon:
Wired Ignition input (voltage on/off) Emulated Ignition (GPS movement) Run Detect (Voltage Increases) |
