MT 3060 User Guide 15
New Event Reporting
For general event reporting information and for detailed information about these events, refer to the
appropriate MT 3060 AT Command Reference.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The VIN is used as a unique identifier which is sent at first power-up with heartbeat messages and with
events.
NOTE: Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for defining the list of data returned, therefore not all
vehicles support returning the Vehicle Identification Number.
Excessive Engine Speed (RPM)
The MT 3060 has three definable thresholds. Excessive engine speed alerts are triggered when the
engine speed (in RPM) exceeds a defined RPM level (in ¼ RPM increments) for a defined period of time in
seconds (for example, 30 seconds). The event clears at a set threshold.
Unnecessary wear and tear on the Power-train Control Module (PCM) may occur if constant or frequent
excessive engine speed is reported. One of the following situations may cause excessive engine speed:
l
Obstructions, such as ice or mud, that cause wheel slippage if the obstruction is not removed
l
Revving the RPM while in neutral
l
Speeding or reckless driving that causes excessive RPM engine speed
Example:
The following AT command example sets the excessive engine speed threshold at 1 to 4000 RPM. Then,
if exceeded for 3 seconds, it triggers the input event. This event clears once engine RPM is below 4000
for 30 seconds.

Vehicle Speed
A vehicle speed alert is triggered if the device is configured for vehicle speed alerts and the vehicle
moves faster than one of the three configurable thresholds (for example, 70 MPH).
Example:
The following AT Command example sets the vehicle speed threshold at 1 to 112 KPH (~70 MPH). When
the threshold is exceeded for 10 seconds, an input event is triggered. This event clears when the vehicle
speed is reduced to 104 KPH (~65 MPH).
