Types of Fences
During normal working conditions, machines can move in and out of yards. Machines can also move to different job sites. A machine will not normally travel beyond a designated work area. The EquipmentManager software will record the location of a machine as history, unless the machine travels beyond the normal work area. The EquipmentManager software uses time fencing and geographic fencing to trigger some action if a machine travels beyond a designated work area. Time fencing and geographic fencing use inclusive geographic functions, exclusive geographic functions, and functions that are based on time. Inclusive Geographic Fencing
By applying an inclusive geographic fence to your equipment, any movement of the equipment beyond a predetermined geographical boundary can trigger an alarm. The alarm will indicate when a machine moves beyond a predetermined geographical area.Exclusive Geographic Fencing
By applying an exclusive geographic fence to your equipment, any movement of the equipment within a predetermined geographical boundary can trigger an alarm. The alarm will indicate that the equipment is inside of a predetermined geographical area.Time Fencing
By applying a time fence to your equipment, any operation of the equipment beyond a predetermined period of time can trigger an alarm. The alarm will indicate that the equipment is operating beyond a predetermined period of time."Time and Geographic Fencing" Screen

Note: Product Link sends an alarm message immediately when the radius of a fence is violated. However, the speed of a machine may cause the machine to appear closer to the radius of a fence in the map view. For example, a machine traveling at normal road speeds of 40 mph or more may display a fence violation at a location as far as a couple of city blocks from the actual point of the fence violation. After the initial alarm, a subsequent alarm will be sent
