Verifying Device Functionality
Step 1: Confirm Device is Reporting
Open the FleetWatcher mobile app.
Tap Devices → Verify GPS Device.
Enter the ESN and tap Search.
Step 2: Check Two Key Indicators
Ensure the screen shows:
Engine Running
Connected to at least 8 satellites
With eight or more satellites, the device is functional and reporting reliably.
Step 3: Troubleshoot if No Data Appears
If no data appears or LEDs are still blinking:
The device may still be connecting.
Move equipment outside if it’s indoors or under a metal roof.
If issues persist, contact Field Operations for support.
Step 4: Verify Engine Data (Bus-Connected Devices)
For bus-connected devices, confirm the app displays:
RPM
Odometer
Engine Hours
Fuel Usage
Verify these readings match your equipment gauges.
5. Setting Idle Threshold
Step 1: Locate Idle Threshold
At the bottom of the verification screen, find Idle Threshold.
Choose one of two options:
Set Using Current RPM
Enter RPM Manually
Step 2: Set Using Current RPM
Ensure the engine is idling.
Tap Set Using Current RPM.
A pop-up displays the detected RPM and a recommended threshold.
Tap Yes to confirm and save.
Step 3: Enter RPM Manually
Tap Enter RPM Manually.
Scroll through the list and select the correct RPM.
Tap Save to confirm.
Note: For hardwired devices, idle threshold fields appear but are not applicable — you can safely ignore them.
