System Outputs Introduction Child Check-Mate System, Inc. is now able to leverage your existing Third-Party Fleet Management System or surveillance system. By connecting to your existing Third-Party Fleet Management System, we are able to provide real-time, actionable alerts on critical Child Check-Mate System® events. By delivering a SMS/email alert when an alarm has been triggered, managers are able to respond to incidents quickly and effectively. This SMS/email alert will be dependent on how the Third-Party Fleet Management System works. By pairing our Double-Check with Theft-Mate functions with your existing Third-Party Fleet Management System, we can alert you if we detect that a child may have been left on a vehicle, or if an unauthorized individual enters the vehicle. As an added feature, we can also trigger your existing Surveillance System to record those events. About Child Check-Mate System® Digital Input/Outputs Our EP2, EPplus Series, and CM series of systems are capable of connecting to other systems (i.e. Fleet Management Systems, Surveillance Systems) by using our Digital Input/Output (Digital I/O) ports. The Child Check-Mate System® must be programmed in order to make use of this functionality as each Digital I/O will be customized to meet your specifications. Child Check-Mate System, Inc. has worked with several Fleet Management and Camera System partners in the past to integrate Child Check-Mate System® Inputs and Outputs. We will work with your current or future service supplier(s) to deliver your required customizations. Child Check-Mate System, Inc. cannot warrant any Third-Party suppliers’ parts or services. We recommend that you confirm your Third-Party System's compatibility with Child Check-Mate System® Digital I/Os, and request assurances and/or evidence of existing integrations, where possible. Outputs are intended to drive a relay or the digital IO Input of Third-Party hardware. Outputs are over current protected and will shut off if > 150mA is drawn. Existing Outputs EP2 Digital I/O Connections The EP2 System Currently supports three Digital I/O ports: Black Stripe Wire (GPS Wire #1): Capable of Outputting a +12V/24V High Output at 40mA. Brown Stripe Wire (GPS Wire #2): Capable of Outputting a +12/24V High Output at 40mA. Orange Wire (GPS Wire #3): Capable of either; grounding up to 300mA as an Output or has the ability to be used as an auxiliary Input. Common Output Scenarios Here are a few of the current Output scenarios for Child Check-Mate System®. Important: All our systems are completely customizable so if there is a feature you wish to have that is not on this list, we can work together to create the feature that will meet your needs. Tamper-Proof This is typically used with your Fleet Management System providers’ reporting/text-message alerts to identify employees who may disconnect the System. This is accomplished by delivering a constant Output on the wire as long as the System has power. If the signal is lost; this will indicate that the System has been unplugged or is otherwise no longer functional. Child Check Complete This is used to identify the time and place a driver performs their deactivation. This is accomplished by delivering a signal or a specified amount of time whenever the Child Check-Mate System® is deactivated. Child Check Function Activation / Deactivation This is typically used to identify the period from Child Check Function activation to Child Check Function deactivation. When Child Check-Mate System® becomes ‘active’ (i.e. Eight-Way Overhead Lights activated) the System will give an Output on the specified wire. This signal will persist until the System is deactivated. (i.e. The reset button is depressed to indicate completed end-of-route search). This feature is often used to hook up the Child Check-Mate System® to an LED. This LED would serve as a visual indicator/reminder that the Child Check-Mate System® is active. Child Check Not Done This feature is used to identify drivers that may have trouble understanding the function of the System, or who may be purposely not performing their Child Check. This is accomplished by delivering a signal for a specified amount of time when the Horn sounds due to a Child Check not being completed. Theft-Mate & Double-Check Alarm Event After the driver has left the vehicle, Child Check-Mate's unique Double-Check mode is activated. During this time the vehicle is monitored for children and unauthorized entry for a pre-determined length of time. (default is 30 minutes). After pre-determined length of time the Theft-Mate Mode is activated. If the System detects movement, the Child Check-Mate System® will deliver an Output for a specified amount of time on the specified wire. This is typically used to send SMS/email alerts to administrators who can then respond immediately. Our customers have also used this to activate camera/video recording systems to trigger event recordings. Important: It is important to check with your Fleet Management System provider to ensure that your provider can support this capacity. Child Check Not Done & Double-Check Alarm This feature combines the features of the "Child Check Not Done" and the "Theft-Mate & Double-Check Alarm" Outputs. This allows monitoring of any event that would indicate the possibility of someone being in the vehicle into one event. Other Possible Output Scenarios Any Input that is read by Child Check-Mate System® can be reported over the Brown Stripe Wire (GPS Wire #2) and Black Stripe Wire (GPS Wire #1) and virtually any system on the vehicle can, theoretically, be read by the System. Standard Child Check-Mate System® Events System Power ('ON'/'OFF') Ignition ('ON'/'OFF') System Activation Event (typically, the Eight-Way Overhead Lights, Hazard Lights, or Brake Lights) System Deactivation Event Brake Lights Activated Event Charter Mode Event Diagnostic Mode Event Additional Available Child Check-Mate System® Events Examples of Inputs and Outputs that may be possible are as follows: Using the Orange Wire (GPS Wire #3) to identify engine or engine component state (i.e. fuel pump 'ON'/'OFF'). Tamper-Proof abilities could be expanded by using the Orange Wire (GPS Wire #3) to identify a Third-Party system component's state (i.e. monitoring that cameras are activated or deactivated and Outputting the Third-Party system event(s)). Diagnostic Mode features could be expanded by using the Orange Wire (GPS Wire #3) to monitor various high-priority engine sensors and activate an Output should one malfunction or indicate an error. This is only effective in vehicles which do not have an existing ECM monitor. Using the Orange Wire (GPS Wire #3), Child Check-Mate System, Inc. may be able to monitor the speedometer and send a warning signal, deliver an Output and/or sound a verbal audio warning to slow down, should the driver exceed a preset limit. Using the Orange Wire (GPS Wire #3), both the seat belt and parking brake could be monitored to ensure that the driver does not leave their seat without engaging the parking break. An event Output or audio alert could be triggered. Output Limitation EP2/EP2plus Systems The EP2plus is capable of delivering 3 Outputs: 2 of the Outputs are Source Drive (50mA) 1 of the Outputs is Sink Drive. The EP2 System is limited to the Outputs identified above. It is however possible for these options to be modulated over a single Output, with different occurrences being identified by a different frequency over that Output. This would require deep integration with the Third-Party product and is likely to require NRE costs and a lead allotment time for research and development. CM3 The CM3 is capable of delivering 7 Outputs: 3 of the Outputs are Source Drive (50mA). 4 of the Outputs are either Source Drive or Sink Drive. Costs & Lead-Times Child Check-Mate System, Inc. does not charge any ongoing fees for this capacity. Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) fees and reprogramming fees may apply to product orders. Software changes requiring NRE may require additional lead time to complete research and development efforts. Most changes can be completed within 14 days. Child Check-Mate System, Inc. is capable of programming up to 200 systems per day. Programming efforts are not likely to delay your order for more than 3 business days. Important: This does not include the programming of systems requiring custom voice prompts or other languages (i.e. French, Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic).
