PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AT312 TT
Asset Tracking Device
The AT312 TT is part of the VehiclePath asset
tracking line, which has the ability to track in real
time.
This unit has been specically designed and
engineered to update on a daily basis (if not
connected to power) or on a 30-minute continuous-
tracking plan (if connected to power). When the unit
is connected to power, it will send an Auto Locate
every 24 hours.
If the unit is not connected to power, then it will
work off the internal battery and give an Auto
Locate every 8 hours. The device will automatically
generate Unauthorized Movement Alerts once it has
traveled 3 miles or more. It will continue to provide
an alert every 30 minutes until stationary.
The AT312 TT is built to withstand harsh environ-
ments and can function in up to 39 inches (1 meter)
of water. Its cellular and GPS antennas are
completely integrated. It also has an internal motion
sensor and internal battery.

BEWARE! Handle 7-way with
care to keep wire connections intact
– trailer wiring harness & components
are typically attached to cover.
BEWARE! All wires should
be flush with the trailer surface. Pay
particular attention to recessed areas
– to protect wires from hazards that
could catch or pull on them, run wire
flat against trailer into recesses.
