RF: Radio Frequency or Really Fast?
The speed and convenience of radio frequency communication allows you
more time to manage your operation. Data received via RF communications
updates the software Fleet Status screen to display the important details
you need.
Outfit your fleet with RF Vehicle Monitors and install at least one RF
Transceiver (Host Transceiver) and you are on your way to a more hands-off
approach to management while improving the efficiency and precision of your
data collection. Add more RF Transceivers (Zone Transceiver) for greater
facility coverage and efficiency.

Electronic Vehicle Inspection Checklist
The G FORCE PLUS RF system features a Vehicle Interface that
allows for an electronic vehicle inspection checklist to be displayed.
To display the next item on the list, an Operator must press the
Pass/Yes button to pass the item shown.
If an Operator fails an item by pressing the Fail/No button,
the failure must be confirmed (VEH INSPECTION FAILURE? YES/NO). A
failed vehicle inspection results in the Vehicle entering Maintenance
Lockout mode. The Vehicle will then exhibit the programmed behavior
for that mode (i.e. lift interrupt, etc).
Vehicle inspection checklists are created for Vehicle groups (i.e. reach
truck, pallet jack, etc), and are built for each group by selecting from a
list of 32 fixed items in the Fleet Manager software,
followed by up to 8 more items
that are fully customizable
to display on the Vehicle Interface's 2 x 16 character LCD.
The resulting report for each vehicle inspection is easily retrieved from
the Fleet Manager software.
