The Intelligent Monitor
is mounted in-cab, displays tire pressure
readings, and gives fleets the capability
to read a tractor and up to 3 trailers
simultaneously, allowing a total
of 64 tire positions. The Intelligent
Repeater is installed directly onto a
trailer and hooks into the trailer’s
power (ABS) line, allowing communication
of the trailer’s sensors with the
monitor located inside the tractor. When
the tractor and trailer are tethered,
the Monitor in the tractor picks up the
sensor identification, tire pressures
and tire positions on the trailer from
the Intelligent Repeater. When the trailer
is unhooked and there is no communication
for 20 seconds, the Monitor in the tractor
forgets that trailer and is open to look
for another trailer. When a trailer with
an Intelligent Repeater is introduced
at hook-up, the Monitor recognizes the
Repeater and accepts its information.
DBK’s
fully integrated GPS/TPMS solution is
our premier product offering since it
gives fleet managers the ability to monitor
in “real time” their entire
fleet, including all engaged and disengaged
trailers, through our state-of the-art
telematics system. Communication between
the Intelligent Repeater and the Monitor
is over the J2497 tractor/trailer PLC
data link, on Pin 7 of the J560 power
connector. The Intelligent Monitor contains
proprietary bridging technology and communicates
data from the J2497 network to the J1708/J1587
network that feeds information to the
truck’s GPS/GPRS/GSM/Wi-Fi
and/or telematics devices.
Fleet
managers will know at all times the current
tire pressure readings of each truck in
the entire fleet, including all tire pressure
alerts in “real time” that
are sent from each tire position. The
GPS system, via a web-based portal, will
continuously display the tire pressure
on all trucks and trailers. The first
alert occurs when pressure drops by more
than 12.5%. A second,
more urgent alert, at a 25%
drop. A variable high pressure alert comes
in at your determined threshold. Monthly
reporting of all tire historical data
will also be tracked by our system and
provided to Fleet Operations as needed. |
