An RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) sensor is utilized to measure rotational speed, typically of an engine or a rotating component.
The RPM calibration enables clients to monitor vehicle performance by tracking time and distance within predefined RPM bands (Green, Blue, and Red), each indicating different driving performance and safety levels.
By utilizing customizable RPM thresholds and color-coded reports from the calibration process, clients can enhance fleet safety, boost operational efficiency, and promote better driver behavior through informed, data-driven decision-making.
To Get Started
- Login to your account
- Go to Settings > General > Object
- Double-click on the object record for which you want to calibrate the sensor.
- Navigate to Sensor.
To Calibrate Sensor
- Activate the connection type by clicking on the checkbox given in the Active column.
- Click on the drop-down of Connected Sensor and select RPM.
- Click on the Calibration button. A new window will appear.
- Specify the RPM Factor.
RPM factor differs from device to device. It provides you with the actual value by correcting the unit factor.
-
- In the RPM From field, enter the vehicle’s minimum RPM value.
- In the RPM To field, enter the maximum RPM value the vehicle can reach.
- High RPM: The highest RPM value at which the vehicle can operate safely.
- Low RPM: The minimum RPM value the vehicle can operate at without stalling.
- Define the Idling RPM range, which refers to the values that indicate when the vehicle is in idle mode.
- Define the RPM Threshold for each color band Safe, Operational, and Critical in the calibration settings.
- Green Band (Safe Driving Range): Tracks optimal RPM for safe and efficient driving. The objective is to empower clients to recognize and encourage good driving practices that fall within the safe driving range.
- Blue Band (Operational Range): Monitors the vehicle operating in a non-optimal yet acceptable RPM range. While functional, this range should be minimized to improve efficiency.
- Red Band (Critical Range): Identifies when the vehicle operates in an unsafe or inefficient RPM range, potentially causing wear or unsafe driving. This helps take corrective actions.
