![G FORCE PLUS RF Instruction Manual Doc #RF1 Rev. 13 9 May/10 VEHICLE AND SOFTWARE INTERFACE TECHNIQUES Both the Vehicle Interface and the Software Interface require interaction with Cards. The methods of interaction are illustrated below: Vehicle Interface and Cards 1. Hold the Card parallel to the face of the Vehicle Interface, making sure they are touching each other. 2. Listen for the Vehicle Interface buzzer to sound, or to stop sounding as the case may be. This indicates the Card has been recognized. 3. Remove the Card from the Vehicle Interface and read the display for further information. 4. If the Vehicle Interface fails to recognize the Card, remove it from the Vehicle Interface by approximately 12” and retry. Software Interface and Cards 1. Hold the Card parallel to the top of the Software Interface, making sure they are within ½ ” of each other (or lay the Card on the Software Interface). 2. Initiate the interaction between the Software Interface and Card by selecting the desired task from the Fleet Manager Software. 3. Watch the Software for progress of the interaction. 4. Click the [OK] button to confirm completion of the interaction when prompted by the Software. 5. Remove the Card from the Software Interface. 6. If the interaction fails, remove the Card from the Software Interface by approximately 12” and retry.](https://usermanual.wiki/BMI-Technologies/RFVI-II.Draft-Manual/User-Guide-1915462-Page-11.png)

![G FORCE PLUS RF Instruction Manual May/10 24 Doc #RF1 Rev. 13 Items of Note: Vehicle Inspection Interval: How many hours after the last inspection before another will be required if the inspection frequency requires it. Vehicle Inspection Frequency: How often the GForce Plus will require the safety checklist to be performed. Options: Every Login: Requires a safety inspection every time a driver logs into the truck. Does not use the interval. Every Operator Change: Requires a safety inspection every time a new operator logs onto the truck. Does not use the interval. First Login per Operator per Interval: If an inspection hasn’t been performed by the operator currently logging in within the time specified in Interval, the operator must do a safety check. First Login per Interval: If an inspection hasn’t been performed by anybody within the time specified in Interval, the operator must do a safety check. No Vehicle Inspection: Vehicles do not require a vehicle inspection. By Shift: Vehicles require an inspection if one has not been performed by anyone after the shift start time. After one is performed, another is not required until the next shift start time. This setting ignores shift interval, it is based upon the shift start times at the bottom of the screen. By Shift and Operator: Vehicles require an inspection if one has not been performed after the shift start time by each new operator. After one is performed by an operator, another is not required by him until the next shift start time. This setting ignores shift interval, it is based upon the shift start times at the bottom of the screen. Battery Event Filtering: If this is checked, the only battery events that will be recorded are Battery Faults. If this is blank, it will record all battery event state changes. 3.

![G FORCE PLUS RF Instruction Manual May/10 30 Doc #RF1 Rev. 13 Authorization Groups Primarily, Authorization Groups are how vehicle access rules are defined. Each Vehicle is assigned to a single Authorization Group and each Operator is assigned up to 64 Authorization Groups. The Operator then has access to all Vehicles in the assigned Authorization Groups. Consider creating a unique Authorization Group where vehicles require different: Vehicle Inspection checklists Operating and training requirements (i.e. electric vs. internal combustion, pallet jacks vs. order pickers) Preventative Maintenance scheduling (i.e. leased vs. owned) Interrupts and alarms (re: battery monitoring for electrics vs. none for internal combustion) Battery settings due to operating environment (i.e. freezer vehicles) Add an Authorization Group 1. Select the Authorization Groups | General tab. 2. Click the [Add] button to open the “Add Authorization Group” window. Settings are explained in the section “DATA FIELD DEFINITIONS”. a. Complete the fields on the General tab. Auth Group: An identifying number for the authorization group. You may have up to 64 auth groups. Diagnostic Delay: Some trucks have monitoring in them that can generate error codes if the interrupt in the GForce is open when the truck starts. The Diagnostic Delay is how NOTE! Authorization Groups must be set up before Vehicles and Employees.](https://usermanual.wiki/BMI-Technologies/RFVI-II.Draft-Manual/User-Guide-1915462-Page-32.png)

These values will become default values for Vehicles assigned to this Authorization Group. They can be changed for individual trucks if required in the Vehicle Settings tab. Motion Threshold: The sensitivity of the GForce unit to determine if the truck is in motion or not. A lower number means less acceleration is required to get the GForce to sense motion. Motion Interval: The amount of time since the last start, stop, or direction change that the GForce will consider the truck in motion. Battery Nominal Voltage: If battery monitoring is enabled, the voltage that is expected of the battery. Hard/Soft Threshold: The amount of force, expressed in Gs, it takes for the GForce to register a Hard/Soft impact. Hard/Soft Samples: The amount of time (in milliseconds) the hard/soft thresholds need to be exceeded before the truck goes into Impact Alarm. Do not alter these in most circumstances. 3. Click the [OK] button to save the changes. Create a Vehicle Inspection Checklist The Vehicle Inspection Checklist for an Authorization Group is created by selecting from a list of 32 system-defined items, as well as adding up to 8 user-defined (custom) items. Each selected item is displayed on the 2x16-character Vehicle Interface and requires a {Pass} or {Fail} response. If you have checklist items that you do not want to lock the truck out on fail, change ‘Lockout on Failure?’ to ‘No’, 1. Select an Authorization Group from the grid. 2.

The Preventative Maintenance settings for each Authorization Group determine how often the checks are required and how time is calculated (i.e. Login, Motion) for all Vehicles belonging to the Authorization Group. In the example above, when a Vehicle is initialized, its first scheduled Preventative Maintenance will be after 250 hours of Login time. After that, Preventative Maintenance checks are scheduled for 250 hours from the Current Hour Meter reading. For example, if the PM is completed at 262 hours, the next PM will be required at 512 hours. PM Due Notification The Preventative Maintenance System Settings determine if there is a warning that Preventative Maintenance is due soon, as well as Vehicle behavior once Preventative Maintenance is due. These settings apply to all Vehicles in the system. In the example above, when Vehicle PM’s are due within 24 hours (of Login or Motion time), the Vehicle Interface displays “OPERATOR LOGIN PM DUE SOON” during the Operator Login and “OPERATING MODE PM DUE SOON” during Operating mode.](https://usermanual.wiki/BMI-Technologies/RFVI-II.Draft-Manual/User-Guide-1915462-Page-57.png)

HOT CARDS Hot Cards are Cards that have been identified as being on the Hot Card List. A Card can be placed on the Hot Card List to prevent its use in the system. For example, a lost or stolen card should be placed on the Hot Card List. Each Vehicle Monitor stores the Hot Card List, and when a Hot Card is used, the Vehicle enters Hot Card state. The System Settings and the Authorization Group settings of the Vehicle determine the Vehicle’s behavior in Hot Card state. The Hot Card List can include up to 30 Cards and is maintained in the Fleet Manager Software. Each time there is a change to the Hot Card List, it is automatically updated on all Vehicle Monitors via RF communications. The Hot Card List includes all Cards that are flagged as “Yes” in the Hot Card column of the Cards tab.](https://usermanual.wiki/BMI-Technologies/RFVI-II.Draft-Manual/User-Guide-1915462-Page-71.png)
