Immobilizer Receptor Socket
& Data Logger
|
The Traka immobilizer forklift
security system was developed
to allow Traka’s iFob to be
used as an electronic key, initially
for controlling unauthorized
access to Forklifts/Trucks.
The immobilizer consists of
a receptor socket, which receives
the iFob, and the data logger
which is a metal box containing
the electronics. The iFob replaces
the conventional activation
method and can be used in two
modes.
One mode is called iFob per
truck, where the iFob is dedicated
or use on a single piece of
equipment or a specific vehicle.
In principle, a user selects
the iFob for the desired equipment
at the Traka key control cabinet.
The Traka key control cabinet
will only allow the user to
remove the iFob if his permit
for that type of equipment is
valid. As soon as he removes
the iFob the system records
the event, and as the iFob is
dedicated to the specific item
of equipment, you are able to
distinguish who used it whilst
the iFob was removed from the
cabinet.
The other mode is called iFob
per person. This mode actually
generates an iFob to suit the
user’s profile. This is done
as the iFob is selected from
the Traka Key Control Cabinet.
The cabinet writes the user
profile to the iFob for a pre-determined
period of time. During this
period the iFob can be used
to activate any amount of equipment
but only if the type of equipment
is contained within the iFob
profile. As the iFob is used,
it records the equipment activated
as well as the duration of its
use. This information is accumulated
within the iFob, and is stored
until the iFob is returned to
the Traka Key Control Cabinet
at which time all the transactions
are downloaded. The Immobilizer
concept has extensive patent
protection.
