COMPRESSOR & PUMP INTEGRATION

Compressor & Pump Telematics Installation

We wire air compressor and hydraulic pump run-status directly into your telematics platform's aux inputs, so the system logs true equipment run hours instead of counting every minute the engine is on as work. Georgia, South Carolina & North Carolina, on-site, any brand.

How Do You Track Compressor or Pump Run-Time on a Service Truck?

We tap the compressor clutch signal or the hydraulic pump's PTO engagement switch and wire it into a free aux input on your telematics device, so run-time is logged separately from plain engine idle.

Why Does Idle Time Look Wrong Without This Wired In?

A telematics platform that only sees engine RPM cannot tell the difference between a truck idling doing nothing and a truck idling while its compressor or pump is actually running a job. Wiring the equipment signal in splits engine idle into working and not-working instead of lumping it all together.

Why Should Maintenance Be Based on Equipment Hours Instead of Mileage?

A compressor or pump wears from how long it actually runs, not from how far the truck drives. Feeding true run-time into the platform lets maintenance schedules track the equipment's actual wear instead of mileage, which has nothing to do with how hard it's been working.

What Compressor & Pump Equipment Do We Integrate?

Why Trust API Signal With This Wiring

Can This Be Added to a Truck With an Existing Telematics Device?

Yes, in almost every case the compressor or pump signal goes into an existing unused aux input, without touching the current GPS or camera wiring.

How Long Does Compressor or Pump Integration Add to the Install?

Typically 30 to 60 minutes per vehicle, depending on how accessible the compressor clutch or pump's PTO switch is on that particular chassis.

COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

What does compressor or pump integration actually measure?

Whether the compressor or pump was engaged and running, timestamped and separated from plain engine idle in your telematics platform.

Which telematics platforms support this?

Most major fleet telematics platforms accept at least one aux input for this signal; how it displays depends on the brand, which we confirm before wiring it.

Do you integrate aftermarket or older pump packages?

Yes, in most cases. Even retrofitted packages usually have a usable engagement signal. Send us the equipment details and we'll confirm before the visit.

Does this affect the compressor or pump's own warranty?

No. The telematics tap is a separate, isolated connection and never shares a wire with the equipment's own control or safety circuit.

Can you schedule a whole fleet at once?

Yes, one vehicle or a full fleet rollout across Georgia, South Carolina, or North Carolina. Call or text 803-513-1009 or request a quote.
