The IOX-BT monitors Bluetooth^® proximity beacons with public MAC addresses and supports select sensor-enabled beacons. Beacons — attached to tools and equipment — increase asset utilization, reduce the impact of misplaced equipment, boost productivity, reduce operational costs, and improve on-time delivery.

Features

1. Easy-to-install
2. Monitors proximity beacons with public MAC addresses
3. Also supports sensor data from select beacons
4. Supports up to 200 in-range beacons
5. Compatible with the Geotab^® BLE Add-On Protocol

IOX Hardware Technical Specifications

IOX Installation Instructions

! IMPORTANT: Professional installation (Certified Geotab® Installer or equivalent) is required for the safe and proper installation of this product (harness and/or IOX). The installer must have sufficient technical knowledge and expertise for the respective installation.

WARNING! Always read and follow all safety information, including Important Safety Information and Limitations of Use, before harness and/or IOX installation. Disconnect the GO device from the vehicle before installation and connect it post-installation (see goo.gl/rkLRiA). Failure to follow these instructions and warnings can result in loss of vehicle control and serious injury or vehicle damage.

Installing the IOX-BT

Termination Shunt

The IOX comes with a termination shunt installed in the expansion port. If you plan to install more than one IOX in a daisy chain, you must remove the shunt from each device in the line, with the exception of the last IOX connected. The shunt must remain in the last IOX and secured with a cable tie.

The shunt in the last IOX ensures the GO device detects and configures the IOX, as effectively as possible.

✱ NOTE: Failure to install the shunt in the last IOX may affect IOX communication. To ensure the IOX communicates, please secure the shunt with a cable tie.

Beacon Data in MyGeotab

The GO device automatically detects any in-range beacon with a public MAC address. A GO device generates a log whenever a beacon comes within range and, subsequently, when it goes out of range. No special configuration is required in MyGeotab™ to associate a beacon with a database or a specific GO device. Beacons within range of multiple GO devices trigger logs on all in-range devices.

When using beacons that support sensor data, the GO device also logs illuminance, ambient temperature, and impact.

Bluetooth beacon in range = 1 is reported only when the IOX-BT sees the beacon for the first time. Bluetooth beacon in range = 0 is reported when the beacon is no longer 'visible' for 30 seconds. This is only applicable to beacons of a supported advertisement format. Beacon Data in MyGeotab for All Bluetooth^® Beacons.

Beacon Data in MyGeotab for Bluetooth® Beacons with Sensor Data

Custom Reports

Access the sensor data described above from the Engine Measurements Report (Engine & Maintenance > Engine and Device… > Measurements) in MyGeotab. This report also contains the public MAC address of the beacon you use and can be leveraged to create custom reports to meet a variety of needs.

Accessing Beacon Data through the MyGeotab SDK

All of the status data above is also available via the MyGeotab API (my.geotab.com/SDK). The API is used to associate status data with the beacon from which it originated. The beacon data is configured as engine information accessed through the StatusData object, with the specific diagnostics described in the table above — found in the Diagnostic object of the API.

Limiting Beacon Data to Specific Beacon Types (Beta)

The IOX-BT can detect any beacon with a public MAC address if the Reports all beacons with public MAC address parameter is enabled (note that this parameter is not enabled by default). However, detecting all public beacons can cause the IOX-BT to quickly exceed its set beacon data limit. You can use the custom parameters listed below to limit received data to only be from specific beacon types.

Important Safety Information and Limitations of Use

For the latest version of the Limitations of Use, visit: goo.gl/k6Fp0w.

WARNING! Do not attempt to install, configure or remove any product from any vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked. Attempting to service units while being operated could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.

WARNING! All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, including gas, brake and clutch pedals. You must inspect devices and cabling on a regular basis to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached. Loose cabling or devices may impede the use of vehicle controls, resulting in unanticipated acceleration, braking or other loss of vehicle control, which could lead to death or serious personal injury. Improperly fastened in-vehicle devices may detach and impact operators upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, which may cause injury.

WARNING! If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.

WARNING! Your in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting that can lead to a fire hazard or vehicle damage or serious injury.

WARNING! Do not attempt to remove the devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles share compatibility, and doing so may result in unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically and cause death or serious injury and/or vehicle damage.

NOTICE: This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Configuration, servicing, and repairs must only be made by an authorized reseller or installer. Unauthorized servicing of these products will void your product warranty.
