The GPS Unit Details delivers in-depth information on your GPS Units and their functionality. You will be able to set up thresholds for certain areas on your GPS, by color coordinating maximum and minimum data output and input for information coming in and out of the GPS. This page will help troubleshoot your GPS issues and you may have access to records that are vital to your device health.
Setup the maximum amount of time or count for areas that will be noted in 'red' on the GPS Unit Report. Setup the minimum amount of time or count for areas that will be noted in 'orange' on the GPS Units Report. This will help identify troubled units or identify information like I/O counts, EVIRs, and other important information that your fleets GPS units send out.
To begin set the Minimum thresholds for the following areas:
Last Position Min:
Is the minimum amount of time of when the GPS has sent geo-positioning data.
Last Inspection Date:
is the minimum amount of time that the GPS has sent an inspection.
GPS Phone Home:
is the minimum amount of time that the GPS has sent a phone home via the GSM network to check in with the server. Update GPS units should check in every four hours.
Last Status Info Min:
This is only for customers that have health packets. This is the minimum of time that the GPS has sent a health packet to the server.
J3 Phone Home Min:
is the minimum amount of time that the J3 has phone home. Like the GPS, the J3 also phone homes. The J3 is part of the V2J GPS device. J3 should phone home every four hours.
Cold Starts:
is the minimum count of the GPS regaining constant power. This will be notified with phone homes. Cold starts tend to occur if the GPS unit is plugged in to constant power during initial installation; GPs unit is plugged in to constant power after being unplugged, constant power circuit restored when vehicle power is restored, or Short/Intermittent contact in constant power (red lead) or ground (black lead).
IO Count:
the minimum count of the discrete I/O being on.
Switch Power - Off > 10 MPH:
the minimum count of the vehicle's switched power being off (ignition off) at speeds greater than 10MPH. Switch Power is noted when the GPS logging is turned on when there is power (ODVC) applied to the switched power wire, and the GPS logging is turned off when there is no power (ODVC) applied to the switched power wire (white wire).
Unsent Events:
minimum count of information not sent from the GPS yet, (ie Gen data, Zpass tag, or EVIRs). If this occurs you may unplug and replug in the 4-pin to create a power cycle.
Now set the Maximum Thresholds in time variables for; Last Position Max, Last Inspection Date Max, GPS Phone Home Max, Last Status Info Max, J3 Phone Home Max. Then set the Maximum Thresholds count variables for; Cold Starts Max, Switch Power Off Count, Power Off Travel (This is the count of when the asset has traveled more than .5 miles without having a 'power on/off event'), Unsent GPS Data Points (the points created during the intelligent logging).
When you are done setting the Threshold Filters, press 'Apply' to save settings, and then press 'Close Window' to return to the GPS Unit Details.

From this report, you can calculate elapsed and total engine hours by asset as well as enter the current hours from the Hobb’s meter in order to set the hours value. Note: GPS units must be running 1.2.94 firmware or higher
Tips for Collecting Physical Meter Readings
Here is a quick workflow to improve your collection and entry of Hobbs Meter values:
1. Record the asset name and engine hours total from the vehicle
2. Power off the asset to synchronize the hours from the HDGPS/V2/V2J with Ground Traffic Control
3. Enter the values into the Admin Hobbs Meter form before the asset is keyed on again.
There are two methods for entering in the Hobbs Meter Values
Method A
This is the preferred method for entering Hobbs Meter Values. This method applies to new installs of equipment running 1.2.94 GPS firmware or greater or units that have been upgraded to 1.2.94 or greater. A reading of the physical Hobbs meter will be required for each asset. Once these values are collected, they can be entered into Ground Traffic Control directly without any manual calculation.
Click on the image of the Hobbs Meter or click on the “Admin Hobbs Meter” link. This will display the Admin Hobbs Meter form.
Physical Meter Data Entry
Once the form is displayed, to update the Hobbs Meter Value, simply:
2. Find the Asset in question on the left hand side of the form. (Column 1)
3. Enter the hours from the physical meter into the Meter Value field. (Column 4)
4. Click the Submit button to the right of this field. (Column 5)
5. When all desired values have been entered, click the Close Window button below the form.
Method B
This is the non-preferred method for entering Hobbs Meter Values. This method applies to units that have been upgraded to 1.2.94 GPS firmware or greater, but previously collected hour data using older firmware. A reading of the physical meter will be is optional. If these values are collected, they can be entered into GTC directly instructions under “Method A” in this document. If the physical meter values are unavailable, an offset based on the old method of engine hour collection can be calculated.
Click on the image of the Hobbs Meter or click on the “Admin Hobbs Meter” link. This will display the Admin Hobbs Meter form.
Existing Engine Hour Data Entry
Once the form is displayed, to update the Hobbs Meter Value, simply:
1. Find the Asset in question on the left hand side of the form. (Column 1)
2. Enter the value from the Engine Hours recorded above into the Offset Value field. (Column 3)
3. Click the Submit button to the right of this field. (Column 5)
4. When all desired values have been entered, click the Close Window button below the form.
To run the Revised Engine Hours Report select an asset or all assets, the date and time range, then press Apply. GTC will do the calculation using the formula: Current Hobbs Meter - Engine hours currently accrued = Engine Hour Offset.
The Odometer Report tracks the asset's odometer readings, and to input offset values to match the GPS miles to the vehicle's odometer.
The Odometer Offsets Admin will display existing offsets and allow the user to add, delete or edit offsets. Once the vehicle's odometer is imputed into the Odometer Offset Admin, the GPS or V2J will start adding the traveled miles to the offset value. The value listed within the Odometer report will reflect what the assets' actual odometer is.
Select an asset or all assets and press "Apply" to view the asset(s) odometer value. Please note the date and time column is the last time the GPS or V2J updated the mileage, i.e. last power off event.
