1.2 About the CalAmp Location Messaging Unit-4200™ (LMU-4200™)

CalAmp's flagship LMU-4200™ product has the features, expandability, and flexibility with

the intelligence to meet all customers’ ever changing needs in fleet management. The LMU-

4200™ offers a full set of features, comprehensive I/O system and expandable accessories

that make it an industry leading value proposition. The LMU-4200™ expandability and

flexibility lowers the cost of delivering, supporting, and growing fleet management solutions.

The LMU-4200™ is designed to support customers needing an array of vehicle interfaces.

For example, the serial ports supply switchable power at selectable voltages to ease the

installation of peripheral data devices. The optional jPOD™ ECU (Engine Control Unit)

interface reads and transmits heavy-duty engine condition and performance data such as

engine temperature along with the fault codes to provide the best possible real-time picture

of vehicle health. In addition, the LMU-4200™ offers optional WiFi and Bluetooth

capabilities.

The LMU-4200™ also incorporates CalAmp's industry leading over-the-air device

management and maintenance system software, , PULS™ (Programming, Updates, and

Logistics System). Configuration parameters, PEG rules, and firmware can all be updated

over the air. Our web-based maintenance server, PULS™ scripts, and firmware, can all be

updated over-the-air. PULS™ offers out-of-the-box hands free configuration and automatic

post-installation upgrades. You can also monitor unit health status across your customers'

fleets to quickly identify issues before they become expensive problems.

1.2.1 Environmental Specifications

The LMU-4200™ is designed to operate in environments typically encountered by fleet

vehicles, including wide temperature extremes, voltage transients, and potential interference

from other vehicle equipment.

To ensure proper operation in such an environment, the LMU-4200™ was subjected to

standard tests defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The specific tests

included temperature, shock, vibration, and EMI/EMC. These tests were performed by

independent labs and documented in a detailed test report. In accordance with Appendix A

of SAE J1113 Part 1, the Unit is considered a “Functional Status Class B, Performance

Region II” system that requires Threat Level 3 Testing.

The following shows the environmental conditions the LMU is designed to operate in and

the relevant SAE tests that were performed. No formal altitude tests were conducted.
