Overview
The Arrow Global BLE (Digital Matter Dart3 BLE series) is a hardwired 12V/24V vehicle tracking unit engineered for high-performance fleet telemetry.
Functioning as both a vehicle tracker and a mobile Bluetooth (BLE) gateway, the Arrow Global BLE monitors vehicle location, engine run hours, driver behavior, auxiliary input signals, and automatically scans nearby BLE driver tags and tool beacons.
Target Asset Applications
The Arrow Global BLE is deployed on:
Light Vehicles: Site utes, pickup trucks, supervisor vehicles, and fleet vans.
Site Machinery: Excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, forklifts, and mobile cranes.
Generators & Compressors: Mobile diesel generators, lighting towers, and air compressors.
Key Hardware Features
Feature | Specification |
Power Supply | Hardwired 8V–36V DC vehicle input with internal backup LiPo battery. |
Wiring Loom | Standard 3-wire installation harness (V+ Constant, GND, V+ Switched Ignition) with auxiliary inputs. |
GPS / GNSS | Concurrent GPS and GLONASS high-accuracy positioning engine. |
Sensors | 3-Axis Accelerometer, Ambient Temperature Sensor, Optical Tamper Switch. |
BLE Gateway | Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 gateway (scans Eddystone and iBeacon BLE tags). |
Immobiliser Support | Switched digital output for connecting a 12V engine starter immobilisation relay. |
Telemetry & Implied Analytics
RAW Data Captured:
GPS Location: Real-time spatial coordinates (latitude, longitude, speed, heading).
Accelerometer Data: 3D motion, harsh acceleration, harsh braking, and cornering g-forces.
12V Digital & Analog Inputs: Engine ignition state, PTO switch engagement, analog voltages.
Bluetooth BLE Scans: Live array of nearby BLE tag IDs (driver ID tags, tool tags).
Tamper & Temperature Alerts: Unmount alerts and ambient temperature readings.
Implied Platform Analytics:
Live Location & Travel History: Complete breadcrumb path trails across site roads.
True Engine Run Hours ($hrs$): Accurate run time logging triggered by 12V ignition input.
Odometer ($km$): High-accuracy cumulative distance tracking.
Harsh Driving Events: Speeding, harsh braking, acceleration, and cornering logs.
Scanned BLE Driver Tag Array: Automatic driver identification based on proximity.
Operational Use Cases
Vehicle History: "Where did the ute travel on Tuesday? How many km has it travelled in the last 14 days?"
Safety & Speeding: "Is the vehicle being operated safely? Was it being driven at 2 PM on Wednesday?"
Driver Assignment: "Who was driving the vehicle during a reported speeding event?" (via BLE Driver Tag).
Generator Management: "When was the generator turned on/off? Was it left running overnight?"
Remote Immobilisation: "Remotely disable vehicle starter motor in security emergencies via ignition wire relay."

Summary & Next Steps
Key Takeaway: The Arrow Global BLE is the primary hardwired vehicle tracker for light vehicles and heavy site machinery, combining ignition run hours with mobile BLE gateway driver detection.
Next Steps: Compare with OBDII Device - Bolt for non-wired plug-and-play light vehicle tracking.
