Event Logging
Event Logging is a method of vehicle usage monitoring that sends spreader data from the 5100ex
spreader control to an external device for processing.
To use Event Logging with a PreCise™ MRM device:
1. Contact your local FORCE America Representative to purchase PreCise MRM devices
that fit your needs.
2. Connect one PreCise MRM device to the 5100ex spreader in each vehicle you wish to
equip with Event Logging. The PreCise MRM devices connect to a DB-9 connector on
the back of the 5100ex using the RS-232 Serial Harness included with the PreCise MRM
device.
3. Enter the Calibration Menu.
4. Set the Calibration → Config → Event Logging menu item to PreCise MRM.
5. Exit the Calibration Menu.
Upon leaving Calibration, the 5100ex will authenticate with the PreCise MRM device.
Once a successful connection has been established, the 5100ex shall begin sending
event data to the PreCise MRM device.
The gold icon shown in Figure __ will be displayed on screen when a successful
connection has been made. If the connection is not successful, the same icon will be
displayed with a red X through it.
To use Event Logging with an AVL device other than PreCise™ MRM:
1. Work with your preferred AVL provider to purchase AVL devices that fit your needs.
2. Connect one AVL device to each vehicle you wish to equip with Event Logging. The AVL
device connects to a DB-9 connector on the back of the 5100ex.
3. Enter the Calibration Menu.
4. Set the Calibration → Config → Event Logging menu item to AVL.
5. Exit the Calibration Menu.
Upon leaving Calibration, the 5100ex shall begin sending event data to the AVL device.
