Smart Diesel Generator Monitoring
Eliminate fuel theft and maximize uptime for your DG sets with Trackster's IoT-based remote monitoring system.
A Diesel generator monitoring system (Diesel genset) converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Essential for remote areas without grid access, Trackster provides 24/7 real-time visibility into fuel consumption, running hours, and engine health.
How the System Works
IoT Sensors
Installation of high-precision fuel sensors and smart devices to monitor parameters like fuel level, battery voltage, and engine load.
Live Connectivity
Gateways transmit data via 4G, GPRS, or Ethernet to our secure servers, providing you instant updates on your smartphone or PC.
Data Analytics
Our cloud platform analyzes running hours and fuel refills, helping you plan maintenance and prevent unauthorized fuel drainage.
Key Benefits of our System
- Access generator status remotely 24/7.
- Ensure generators start on time during power failures.
- Maintain generator performance through data-driven service.
- Reset alarms and monitor battery health remotely.
- Reduce on-site visits and operational costs significantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the 5 components of a diesel fuel system?
The 5 key components are the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel pump, and fuel injectors. Fuel flows from the tank to the injectors through these components to power the engine.
2. What is the working principle of the diesel fuel system?
It works by creating high fuel pressure required for atomization. The pump compresses fuel, which is then sprayed at high pressure into the cylinder for combustion.
3. How does Trackster detect fuel theft in generators?
Using digital fuel sensors, the system detects sudden drops in fuel levels. If fuel is drained while the generator is off, an instant alert is sent to your mobile.
4. Can I monitor running hours for billing purposes?
Yes, the system accurately logs the start and stop times, providing precise running hour reports essential for billing and maintenance.
5. Is this system suitable for remote construction sites?
Absolutely. It is designed for remote monitoring where manual supervision is difficult, ensuring your power source is always reliable.
6. What types of diesel fuel systems are there?
Common types include inline pump, distributor pump, and common rail systems. Common rail is the most modern and efficient version used today.
7. Does the system monitor battery health?
Yes, it tracks battery voltage. If the battery is weak and might fail to start the engine, you receive a preventive alert.
8. Can I get a report on fuel consumption vs load?
Yes, our IoT platform provides analytics that compare fuel consumed against the electrical load produced to check for engine efficiency.
9. How is the hardware installed on the generator?
Hardware includes a GPS gateway and a fuel probe. Trackster provides professional installation support across India for all major DG set brands.
10. Can I reset alarms remotely?
Depending on the controller of your generator, our advanced smart devices allow for remote alarm resetting and status checks via the app.
