I am sending a Signal Here, I\u2019m On\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Types Of Output Signals<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Two types of signals that you can send when you engage an output wire are latched or pulsed.<\/p>\n<p>A latched output signal means the line will hold its state, until it receives another command telling it to change states. \u00a0i.e. \u00a0if we send the command to turn on &#8211; it will stay energized, until we send it a command to turn off.<\/p>\n<p><b>Real World Output Applications<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A real world application would be using this output line on conjunction with an automotive relay to disable or enable a starter on a vehicle. \u00a0The relay acts as a middle-man who gets the signal from the output wire, and opens or closes the circuit. \u00a0If the line was energized, the connection disables the starter, if turned off &#8211; the vehicle returns to normal operation.<\/p>\n<p>A pulsed output command acts in an entirely different way. \u00a0A pulsed output will energize a line for a fraction of a second and then stop. \u00a0Think of it &#8211; as just sending a short burst of energy through the line.<\/p>\n<p>A real world application for using a pulsed output command, would be to unlock an electric door on a vehicle. \u00a0Since we just need to energize the door lock for a fraction of a second to open, we would send a pulse command to the door lock in essence saying &#8211; \u201cPlease Open\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So now that we have a basic understanding of what an output is, let\u2019s move on to what an Input does.<\/p>\n<p><b>What Is An Input<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As the name implies, think &#8211; in, when you think about inputs. \u00a0An input wire \u00a0is used to detect \u00a0a change of state (on\/off) for an external component. \u00a0For example, when the no seatbelt light of a car goes on, connecting an input wire to the light would let you know the seatbelt was not being used. \u00a0Or, if a PTO was turned on, or off &#8211; you would know what is going on.<\/p>\n<p><b>True Story &#8211; Customer Using Input Feature Catches Employee Stealing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of the fondest memories that I have involving inputs on a gps tracker, was a customer who caught one of their employees stealing propane from their propane trucks. \u00a0Propane delivery trucks can quickly dispense a lot of fuel. \u00a0Some trucks can even deliver from 63 to 121 gallons per minute of propane. \u00a0At $2.36 per gallon, a few minutes here &#8211; and a few minutes there, can really add up for a shady employee stealing from their company.<\/p>\n<p>With the gps tracker input connected to the pump motor, our customer was able to see exact locations of where the pump was on and for how long. \u00a0It didn\u2019t take long for him to identify unauthorized locations along the shady employees route where propane was being stolen. \u00a0The employee was subsequently confronted and terminated.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at LiveviewGPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standard GPS Tracker Wiring A standard hardwired gps tracker typically requires just three wires to work; constant power, ground, and ignition.
