Now you can sit at home and steer your boat using your mobile phone! 

How Machine Connect works

Switch on the fridge and heater on your way out to the boat. Or switch off your vehicle's fuel pump remotely for extra theft protection. Now you can also get customised notifications if, for example, your level switch or bilge pump turns on. All with the new Machine Connect.

Machine Connect is part of NorthTracker's theft protection and is a tracking device. Alarms are sent via text message, push notification and email if your tracking device moves outside your security zones. But the new Machine Connect can do so much more than that.

Machine Connect can also be used to remotely switch off the fuel pump or electricity supply.

You can also connect it to a magnetic contact on the rear doors of your van, for example, so that an alarm is sent when the door is opened.

How it works technically

To use these functions with Machine Connect, you need to connect a relay between the power supply and the device you want to control, e.g. between the 12V battery and the heater. Then connect the relay to the Machine Connect digital output and a 12V battery. Machine Connect has 2 digital outputs.

If you want to be alerted when something is activated, connect the Machine Connect digital input to the device you want to be alerted from if it is activated. You can also name the alarms in the system, so you know whether it is the door or the bilge pump that has been activated or deactivated. Machine Connect has 2 digital inputs.

Once you have created an account, you can set up to five safety zones for your NorthTracker Machine. If the GPS moves outside of any of your chosen security zones, you will be alerted immediately via text message or email. Machine provides Europe-wide theft protection and continues to transmit its position so that your property can be easily tracked, increasing your chances of getting it back. Machine also logs history so you can see how it has moved or to summarise how long it has been stationary in different locations, for example for customer billing.

Machine can also be used for security purposes. Should something happen to you, the person who has access to the login can always see where you are and thus quickly come to the rescue. It is approved by SSF Stöldskyddsföreningen and can be connected to AVARN Alarm Centre for emergency response with guards.
