Installation Recommendations

Take a look at some recommended installation locations!

You can be as creative as you want – but remember performance may be impacted by device placement.

If you are experiencing position updates on the Tracking Dashboard or Mobile App, please feel free to reach out support team anytime so we can take a look at your device and provide recommendations based on data!

Let us crunch the numbers while your assets are safe, anywhere, anytime!

THINGS THAT BLOCK GPS + 4G SIGNALS

GPS + 4G signals cannot penetrate or be impeded by metal, carbon fibre and indoor or underground buildings ie carparks and enclosed garages. 

To ensure your tracker works correctly please ensure that it’s not installed under any sheet metal in your asset. 

The tracker should also be installed with the top side up marked facing upwards towards the open sky as much as possible. 

The more material obstructions between your tracker and the open sky, the weaker the GPS signal will be which can prevent a location from being acquired.

For optimal performance, GPS trackers require good line of sight to communicate positional updates and network coverage and this can also be impacted environmental factors such as trees, clouds, poor weather conditions etc.

Battery Replacement Guide

Use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries for best performance & device life.

GPS Slim: 2x AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries
GPS Mini: 3x AAA Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries
GPS Pro: 3x AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries

You can pick them up from Bunnings, Coles, Woolies etc!

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Simply unscrew the screws on the base of the tracker (electric drill is OK)
Remove all 3 old batteries
Wait 2 – 3 minutes
Insert 3 new batteries in the correct up/down right position as marked
Tracker will flash red LED a couple of times indicating startup/ reboot
Cover base of tracker and insert screws

Once tracker is rebooted, it should show 5.3 – 5.4V (GPS Mini or Pro) and 3.5V (GPS Slim) indicating 100% battery life remaining.

BATTERY LIFE ESTIMATES
Battery life estimates are influenced by several factors including temperature, installation location and orientation of the device, the frequency of location updates, network coverage, sensor integrations, peripherals, accelerometer settings, and more.
