The following solutions are in conjunction with wireless mobile tracking and/or telemetry devices
that accept input signals via General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) lines. The devices are typically installed
in vehicles to provide automated wireless location capabilities and/or additional data reporting.
Item: Modular Button
Item Description:The Modular Button provides momentary
contact signaling that can be used for various purposes. Many installations use
the button as an emergency signaling device. The button is generally mounted
under a seat or dashboard and easily accessed by the driver in order to covertly
signal that there is an emergency.
Some recommended uses include:
- Panic button
- Driver arrived at location signal
- Answer/Hang-Up voice call
- Programmable I/O operation

Item: Modular Cable
Item Description:The Modular Cable is used to extend the reach (15
feet) of the Modular Button. It is not required but is a convenient addition

Item: Lead Acid Charge Controller
Item Description:The Lead Acid Charge Controller is a convenient
solution that provides power for automotive mobile tracking device applications.
The controller connects between the vehicle battery, the mobile tracking device,
and a sealed lead-acid battery. Sealed lead-acid batteries are very common and
are typically the solution used as backup power for home alarm systems. While
the vehicle is running, the battery is charged by the vehicle alternator. When
the vehicle is turned off, the power seamlessly switches over to the battery and
the mobile tracking device runs off of the sealed lead-acid battery. The controller
is generally used in applications where vehicles are used but will sit for extended
periods and will require power that is not the main battery of the vehicle.
