How Large is the AcuTrac device?

Because it is a security device, we do not publish sizes or pictures of the AcuTrac. We will say, however, that at the time of writing (May 08) it is the smallest GPS/GSM/RFID battery-backed tracker we know of.

Why not just GPS?

GPS is, by nature, a weak signal. Although it is quite accurate in ideal conditions (Open skys, no clouds/buildings/trees) - within 15 metres - it is extremely poor in areas of poor reception. Wet leaves will make a difference! Buildings can cut the signal completely. The Acutrac has the ability to give a "forced" GPS position, where it will give a position on only two satellites but this means it's accuracy is only within 150 metres. If no GPS position can be obtained, we can obtain a CELL ID (Mobile phone cell site) but these areas can be quite large - up to 7 miles. We then have the ability to switch on the RFID which has a very short range - but is quite accurate.

So, with three types of location, does AcuTrac guarantee to find the asset?

No - and if anyone tells you "Yes" in this market we don't believe they are being truthful! Any tracker relies on two things to make it work; radio signals and a power supply. Cut either of these, and the device cannot respond. While the Acutrac has an in-built power supply, it's life is dependent upon how the AcuTrac has been configured. A maximum of 8 days.

 What is the Current drain of the AcuTrac from the vehicle battery

The AcuTrac can be configured in many different ways, so the current drain can be variable, from 4mA to 2Amps if transmitting a lot of information. The owner can, via the web site, modify how the AcuTrac is configured. There are buttons to alter the current drain of the vehicle battery, and one in particular to enter a storage mode to reduce current drain to a minimum.

Can I adjust the 'GeoFence'

Yes, this is user definable from the web site.

Can adjust the motion sensor sensitivity?
