Ignition On/Off for CalAmp

Hello FleetPursuit

most calamp devices maps  it's Ignition line to input 0, in fact my calamp devices are  configured like this, please try it !

cheers !

Good day!

in Wialon digital parameters begin with in1, so normally in0 corresponds to in1 in parameters. Just turn on and turn off the ignition and see which parameters changes in I/O section in Messages (hex values must be converted into binary). Yes, for Calamp by default it must be in1.

In the mentioned on the screenshot list parameters from the last message only are listed, sometimes you have to look through Messages and enter those parameters manually.

Hi poal, That might be the one, I tried in1 on one of our moving vehicles and it showed on then when they stopped here at the office with ignition off that's what it showed with the icon.

I will try with the other vehicles and monitor all tomorrow to confirm, fingers crossed. Will this also allow for the engine hours to work in the general tab settings now also?

Many thanks, lets hope this is the resolve.

Hi poal,

It appears that we may have the resolve we needed. All looks like it is indicating correctly - will monitor the engine hours counter to ensure this works also.

Another question that I noted is that with some of the vehicles the Motion status shows incorrectly. It shows it as "moving" while it has actually been parked, in this case 30 minutes, although the Ignition Status shows as off which is correct. Attached shows what I mean.

Is this a device issue or a setting we need to adjust within the Wialon Hosting platform?

We have the Trip Detection set as GPS Speed and minimum speed at 5km.

Many thanks!

Thanks poal,

How does something like this affect the "engine hours" when client is using to report on usage or Idle times?

I will also contact our CalAmp suppliers and see what they have to say. :-)

cheers,
Alan.

Many thanks for the advice poal. have a good week and I have appreciated all your assistance. cheers Alan.

We don't use their devices but this might assist you.

When you create the sensor, you will see a dropdown box with a list of parameters (image is of a different device), you may be able to marry this up with what is shown by manufacturer under "Parameters" information listed with the device listing in Gurtam - https://gurtam.com/en/gps-hardware/auto … parameters

In some case it will depend on installation also but ignition sense should be the same always if correctly installed.

Alternatively you can trial and error some or ask the manufacturer as they should know.

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear, it can be tricky sometimes.

Hi,

I had the same problem but with other devices. What I realize is that sometimes the needed parameter doesn’t appear as you would think. Try this, in the parameters you can watch on real time. Try turning on and off the vehicle, if you have the ignition parameter config you would have to see a change in a parameter that is display.

Hope to be helpfull.
