OYSTER3

Asset Tracking

LIGHT, COMPACT AND POWERFUL

Oyster3 is a light, rugged and powerful asset tracker with Over 10+ years of battery life on user-replaceable 3 x AA Lithium or Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LTC) batteries for extreme temperature operation

It boasts a lot of features such as –

GPS and GLONASS position systems for high precision tracking.
IP67 rated means that the device can withstand extreme conditions.
Battery life tracking means that you can plan ahead and manage your batteries better.
Configure the device to match your reporting needs (1 x, 3 x, 5 x a day …)
Adaptive tracking movement based tracking – tracks assets throughout the day and/or when movement occurs
Impact detection provides alerts whenever the impact crosses the user-defined G-Force level.
Run Hour Monitoring to understand and optimise asset usage.
Create custom geofences with speed zones to track assets.

Dimensions – 108 x 86 x 31mm (4.25 x 3.39 x 1.22”)
Weight – 161g (5.68 oz)
Housing – Ultra-Rugged IP67 Housing
IP Rating – IP67 rated housing ensures device can withstand fine dust, high-pressure spray, submersion for 30 mins in 1m of water, and extreme temperatures
Installation – Compact and concealable. Multiple installation options for covertly and easily securing the device to assets with screws, bolts, cable ties, rivets, and more. Stainless steel screws provided
Operating Temperature – -30°C to +60°C For operation in extreme temperatures use LTC Batteries
Cellular Antenna – Internal
GPS Antenna – Internal
3-Axis Accelerometer – 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, high G-force events, and more
Diagnostic LED – Diagnostic LED indicates operation status
Flash Memory – Store weeks of records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for over 1 month of continuous 30-second logging
On-Board Speed & Heading – Current speed and heading is reported with each position update
On-Board Temperature – The device reports internal temperature which provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise

Smarts

Auto-APN – Auto-APN allows the device to analyse the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware
Battery Life Monitoring – ‘Battery Low’ and ‘Battery Critical’ alert levels
Geofence Alerts – The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations
Geofence Download to Device – Geofences can be downloaded directly to the device fromTelematics Guru for enhanced location-based actions and alerts. Maximum of 500 Geofences with up to 100 points per geofence
Impact Detection – Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold
Intelligent Power Management – Early registration abort saves power when out of cellular coverage
Periodic or Movement-Based Tracking – Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary
Preventative Maintenance – Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs
Run Hour Monitoring – Capture run hours based on movement to understand and optimise asset utilisation
Sleep Mode – Stationary devices enter sleep mode until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimise data usage
Theft Recovery – Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval
Tip Detection & Rotation Counting – Axis angle reporting, tip detection and rotation counting (planned)

Device Management

Flexible Configuration – Configure device parameters such as position update rate, movement and accelerometer settings, and more to fit any tracking application
Device Management Platform – Manage, monitor, configure, debug, update, and restart devices remotely from our cloud-based device management system
Configuration App – Configurable with DMLink provisioning tool
