Super Drive offers Iridium satellite GPS fleet tracking solutions. The Iridium modem has been integrated with the Super Drive as a means of communication when the device is out of cellular coverage. It will send positional updates over the Iridium network, providing a highly robust telematics solution in remote areas and very easy to install.

When cellular coverage is not available in the area where the vehicle is located, the installed GPS tracking device holds up to 20,000 location updates. Enough to drive more than 333 hours, or more than 13 days and nights nonstop (1-minute updates assumed). These updates are sent once the cellular coverage becomes available.

Acceleration in the forward direction, to the left, and upwards are always positive values. Acceleration in the backwards direction, to the right, and downwards are always negative values. In the Super Drive, accelerometer values may be reported in G-forces rather than an acceleration value. To convert any G-force value to an acceleration value, simply multiply the G-force value by 9.81.

Yes, the device can detect GPS jamming and will log a “GPS jamming” log if it believes there is something interfering with the GPS signal. The jamming log is typically recorded if there is a GPS jamming device in the vehicle, the device is surrounded by metal plates, the vehicle is traveling in an area with dense foliage, or the vehicle is underground.

The firmware for all live devices is managed by the Super Drive and the current release firmware is pushed over the air to the devices on a regular basis.

This depends on the chassis type and engine. Vehicles transmit data from a multitude of sources that include the engine, the drive-train, and the instrument cluster by using a communications protocol. There are many possible protocols that are used by the various manufacturers and component suppliers of the vehicles. The Super Drive can detect vehicle data communications from the engine, the drive-train, the instrument cluster, and other subsystems that may be installed. The customer will then have access to the richest collection of information from a vehicle that is possible. The Super Drive listens to the ECM for data to be broadcast. If the engine data we want is not broadcasted, we will poll the ECM to try to retrieve the data.

Almost all vehicle types are supported, although older vehicles may have less engine data available. For vehicles that do not have the standard OBDII connector. A special 3-wire harness can be provided, this harness is connected directly to the vehicle battery for power and allows you to connect the device to vehicles that do not have a diagnostic port.

The Moss Magnuson Warranty Act of 1975 specifically prohibits manufacturers from voiding the warranty due to aftermarket additions to the vehicle. Furthermore, Euclidic Systems has spent considerable time ensuring that our products cannot cause harm to the vehicle.

Super Drive is designed for 3G and 4G networks throughout Australia and New Zealand. 

The device will figure out that it has been plugged into another vehicle when it detects new VIN information. Once the device learns that it is in a new vehicle, it will automatically re-calibrate itself using its built-in accelerometer to determine its new orientation in order to detect acceleration events properly.

No, the device will go into sleep mode when the vehicle is turned off and will only draw 5 mA of current. A typical car battery has a capacity of 50 Ah, which means it will take over a year before the device can come close to depleting the battery.

Yes, the OBDII port has been the standard way of connecting diagnostic tools to vehicles since 1996 in most countries.
