Anti-theft device (optional equipment)
An installed anti-theft device makes it more difficult
to steal the machine. Volvo Construction
Equipment can supply an anti-theft device as
optional equipment. If your machine is not equipped
with such a device, look into the possibility of having
one installed by a qualified service technician.
Logged machine data
The machine is equipped with a software system,
which records various information about the
machine and this information is transferred from the
machine to Volvo and used by Volvo and its
authorized workshops in the product development
process and for possible malfunction detection.
Questions regarding this information can be
directed to your dealer.
CareTrack
The machine may be equipped with CareTrack, a
telematics system developed by Volvo
Construction Equipment. The system stores
machine data, e.g., machine position, operating
hours, fuel consumption, fuel level, that can be sent
by wireless transmission to a computer. CareTrack
is available in different versions, depending on the
required information level.
CareTrack makes it easier to plan for service and
reduces costly downtime. Productivity is improved
by knowing if machines are being operated
correctly and how much fuel is being consumed.
CareTrack also allows the customer to restrict the
operating area of the machine, by using virtual
fences. This helps to eliminate unauthorized
machine use and theft. For further information,
contact a Volvo Construction Equipment dealer.
The CareTrack system transmits data, in the same
way a mobile phone does, with a maximum output
rate of 10 W. The transmitter is always on and the
operator cannot switch it off.
Local precautions and restrictions applicable to
mobile phones, for example safety distance, also
apply to the CareTrack system.
