3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope. Full-scale acceleration range of ±8g and an angular rate range of ±250 dps.
Weight: 396 g (0.87 lbs)
Casing Dimensions: 159 mm L × 122 mm W × 31 mm H
Cable Length: 1000 mm
Housing: Polycarbonate (PC) thermoplastic two-piece housing (Flammability rating: UL 94 V-0)
Voltage: 12 V and 24 V systems supported
! IMPORTANT: Maximum battery voltage that can be supplied to the GO9 RUGGED device is 36V.
Current
120 mA at 12 V Operating mode (typical/nominal current draw)
250 mA at 12 V Operating mode (max. current draw)
4.5 mA at 12 V Sleep mode (min. current draw)
3.0 mA at 24 V Sleep mode (min. current draw)
✱ NOTE: Maximum current draw values are reached during transmission in regions with fair to excellent cellular coverage. Maximum current draw at 24 V will be less than at 12 V.
GO9 devices can pass through a maximum total current of 2750 mA @ 12 V/24 V to IOX hardware in a daisy chain via resettable overcurrent protection.
✱ NOTE: For each IOX in the daisy chain, add their max current draw, and do not exceed the max total IOX current draw.

Almanac/Ephemeris Data: For quicker GPS latch
Curve-based voltage logging to detect weak batteries, failing alternators, and failing starters.
Main Data Memory: Up to 80,000 logs in offline mode (out of coverage)
Collision Data Memory: Buffer records over 100 minutes of second-by-second data
(6,000 logs). Last 72 records (1.2 minutes) are sent instantly on accelerometer-triggered collision-level events.
Patented curve-based GPS/voltage/accelerometer/engine data logging algorithm for fewer, more accurate data points.
Non-engine-based ignition detection voltage and movement, allowing for 3-wire installation. Ideal for older vehicles with no engine information and covert installation for asset recovery.
Ideal for Plant and Mobile Equipment
The Go RUGGED is built tough, so you can feel comfortable you have the right solution for your field equipment. It’s also designed for special purpose vehicles that provide more data than your vehicle fleet.
Our customers are using this device for:
Tracking their mowers and PTO usage
Tracking their open cab plant, such as rollers, excavators, Bobcats and graders
Tracking engine run time on their generators and scheduling refueling events based on engine runtime and fuel levels
Measuring engine data and faults
Reporting on their equipment utilisation, and ensuring their equipment is where it’s needed

Precise GPS tracking
Collect precise data on vehicle location, speed, trip distance and time, engine idling and more with the GO9. Even if you park a vehicle indoors and underground, advanced GPS vehicle tracking and telematics starts recording as soon as you begin driving. The GO9 introduces the new Global Navigation Satellite System module (GNSS) for faster latch times and increasingly accurate location data.
Collision detection and notification
GO9 offers harsh-event data (such as aggressive acceleration, braking or cornering) and collision reconstruction through its accelerometer and our patented algorithms. If GO9 detects a suspected collision, it will automatically upload detailed data that enables forensic reconstruction of the event. This includes in-vehicle reverse collisions. Email and desktop alerts signal the first notice of loss.
In-vehicle driver coaching
Improve driving behaviors, such as following speed limits and reducing idling time, by playing an audible alert. GO9 also enables you to coach the driver with spoken words (available as an Add-On). Immediate driver feedback can enhance fleet safety, reinforce company policy and encourage your drivers to take immediate corrective action.
Vehicle health assessments
Extract valuable vehicle health information within our fleet vehicle tracking system. Capture and record the vehicle identification number (VIN), odometer reading, engine faults and more. This data helps you prioritize vehicle maintenance and audit vehicle use to identify both safe and risky driving behaviors.
Secured data
Geotab uses authentication, encryption and message integrity verification for GO9 vehicle tracking devices and network interfaces. Each GO9 device uses a unique ID and non-static security key, making it difficult to fake a device’s identity. Over-the-air (OTA) updates use digitally signed firmware to verify that updates come from a trusted source.
Advanced data capture
Vehicles send data from a multitude of sources, including the engine, drivetrain, instrument cluster and other subsystems. Utilising multiple internal networks, the GO9 captures and organizes much of this data.
