Some vehicles as shown at the left, are subject to being fitted with such monitoring system as YAMS is, for the precise assessment of data of the working times for the real costs that had occurred.

Vehicle-mounted units record precise a range of automatic measurements and manual inputs. This collected data provides accurate fleet, grouped or individual vehicle reporting.  The transfer of the data is either manual or automatically send to its office for processing invoicing.  

The YAMS recording system of working data is in fact producing accurate reports of fleet or vehicle activity data based on Windows PC-based software. The produced reports are shown in spreadsheet and graphically format on the monitor and printouts, based Window PC software.

Activity data is recorded and stored, transferred and processed with little or no human intervention. This means that there is very little chance of data loss, corruption or tempering.

This rugged, electronic system provides a means of easily and accurately monitoring the working patterns of plant, heavy or light vehicles, cars, delivery vehicles or any other mobile equipment.

The recorded data is transferred to the office by manually data gatherer or automatically by telecommunication. A windows based software offers a wide form of monitor reports, tabular as well as graphical format that can be printed and transmitted. The control check on maintenance, repair costs overview. The protocolling of these features can be part of this programme.

The new recorder is a smaller and more rugged unit that is mounted on any surface that experiences vibrations while working. It is dust- and water-resistant, tamper proof and UV rays protected.

The unit is self-contained, no external connections are required, and all functions are controlled internally. It operates for up to two years using a pair of monobloc 9 Volt batteries.

The data storing capacity is adequate for approx. 228 hours, about four working weeks. 

In a simple, once-off operation Activity Recorders are user-programmed with a unique registration number. This number is stored in the recorders indefinitely and is used to identify data belonging to each vehicle.

Engine operation may optionally also be monitored by connecting the hour meter cable (HR-25), supplied with the Activity Recorder, to the ignition, oil pressure switch or across an existing hour meter.

The Activity Recorder VR272R is basically the same as the VR272. It has been equipped additionally with a 12-position dial switch on its front panel.

This dial may be user-configured to record work conditions, work categories, breakdowns, different work locations, customers, operators etc. Reports in the system software permit analysis of work-categorised activities.

These units contain a clock/calendar and store the time and date and activity information when any of the following events occur:

• presence of work vibrations - stored as the average intensity during each minute,

• changes in the state of an external voltage - used to monitor ignition or engine running time,

• changes in the position of the 12-position dial - used by the operator to identify the type of work or work code.

The Data Gatherer is a pocket-sized unit to collect data from one or more Activity Recorders. The unit is dust and water resistant and tamper proof.

The Data Gatherer is quick and easy to use. All activity data is extracted from an Activity Recorder by simply pushing the Data Gatherer into the Activity Recorder adapter socket for only a few seconds. A similar operation transfers all collected activity data to a PC via a Desk Reader.

This interface for the data gatherer was designed rigidly to take account of the environment wherein it is used.

The Data Gatherer can collect data from at least 16 Activity Recorders.

The Desk Reader DR72 provides the communication link between Data Gatherer DG1281 and a PC.

The Desk Reader is connected to a PC via USB interface.

This picture is showing the downloading from the Activity Recorder to the Data Gatherer.

This process takes only a few seconds!

Each Starter Kit  consists of:

• 1 x  Vibration Recorder

• 1 x  Data Gatherer

• 1 x  Desk Reader

• 1 x  Software

When thereafter further vehicles are to be equipped with vibration recorder, only these would need to be ordered, because all other necessary equipment is already part of your starter kit.
