Completely Customizable

1. EPEQ® IM Controller

Communicates with the vehicle CAN Bus and coordinates all other EPEQ® IM components. Think of it as EPEQ® IM’s central nervous system. 

2. EPEQ® IM Screen

The operator screen is installed in the vehicle to allow the operator to see what is happening with the EPEQ® IM System. It provides warnings of when the vehicle is going to start and stop as well as vital information why the vehicle is running whether its for low battery or other various optional reasons.  

3. PROHEAT X30 (Optional)

When EPEQ® IM is partnered with the Proheat X30 diesel-fired heater the vehicle never needs to run for heating as it can provide both heat for the cab as well as the engine. A recommended option for all Diesel vehicles to eliminate idling in cold temperatures.

3. PROHEAT X30 (Optional)

When EPEQ® IM is partnered with the Proheat X30 diesel-fired heater the vehicle never needs to run for heating as it can provide both heat for the cab as well as the engine. A recommended option for all Diesel vehicles to eliminate idling in cold temperatures.

4. Coolant Pump (Optional)

For warmer climates or gasoline vehicles, the coolant pump option provides a simple method of taking stored heat in the engine and circulating into the cabin. Since gas engine produce heat quickly, the EPEQ® IM will monitor the engine temperature and start the engine to heat the coolant and then shut it back off when its warm. The coolant pump does the rest.  

5. Hood Sensor

The hood sensor is a safety sensor to ensure the system doesn’t start or stop automatically when the hood is opened.

6. Solenoid (Optional) 

EPEQ® IM has logic to manage multiple batteries to ensure that batteries are being charged as well as controlling the energy that is available. The solenoid is a mechanism to maintain that control and is necessary when batteries are added.  

7.  Vehicle Battery

EPEQ® IM utilizes as much energy as possible which allows the system to control what can be utilized from the vehicle battery without compromising start ability. The system also monitors the battery, so you know when its time to replace it.

8. Auxiliary Batteries (Optional)

The EPEQ® IM system relies on energy to keep the vehicle off as long as possible and adding batteries based on the vehicles utilization is the best tool to reduce idling. For durability and temperature consistent results in most cases we use AGM batteries.  

9. Ignition Connections

To control the vehicle starting and stopping EPEQ® IM uses the key switch or push button of the vehicle as an input. The EPEQ® IM System knows when the vehicle is in Park or Neutral, when the vehicle is idling and it sends outputs to the vehicle ECM to shut down the engine and likewise starts it as necessary. 

10. Temperature Sensor

EPEQ® IM monitors the temperature inside the cab to control heating and cooling of the cabin.

11. Ignition Signal

To keep lighting equipment, computers, and other aftermarket equipment operating, the ignition signal of the vehicle needs to be replaced with one provided from EPEQ® IM to keep them operating while the vehicle starts and stops.  

12. Idle Tracker

1. The idle tracker is a cellular device that connects to the EPEQ® IM Idle Tracker Dashboard. The dashboard is the hub for all vehicle information. Fleet managers can click on Vehicle Profiles to see a list of their trucks and their basic data (operator, zone, etc.) and select individual vehicles for more in-depth information. 

But the dashboard goes one step further. 

The EPEQ® IM System collects data from vehicles, analyzes it, and creates informative charts and reports that show: 

• Idling time (hours) 

• Reasons for idling 

• Reduced idling (hours and dollars) 

• Reduced CO2 emissions (by weight) 

• Fuel reduction and savings (Volume and dollars) 

• Maintenance savings (dollars) 

• Reduced engine wear and tear (Equivalency in Distance) 

Fleet managers can use this information to show real time savings and create budgets. This data is also invaluable when it comes to purchasing hybrid vehicles and estimating your fleet’s future energy needs.

13. DC Air Conditioning System (Optional)

This system is used to provide air conditioning in the cab while the engine is off tying in directly to the OEM system.  

14. Anti-Theft (Optional)

This safety feature allows the EPEQ® IM system to maintain the vehicle operation with the keys removed. It can control the vehicle’s shifter lock to prevent it from being put into drive and stolen and if the vehicle is put into drive, while the keys are removed, the engine will automatically stall. The vehicle’s key is always required to re-start the vehicle.

15. Vehicle CAN Connection

The EPEQ® IM system gets vital information from the vehicle communication network such as transmission position, RPM and vehicle speed. Usually this is connected directly to the on-board diagnostic connector (OBD) however this can vary vehicle to vehicle. EPEQ® IM comes with an installation document for every vehicle that is supported.  
 

16. EPEQ® IM Diagnostic Port

If for any reason the service tool needs to be connected to change settings or download new programs it is done through this connector. Other accessories also connect to this connector if they are CAN Bus and are options of the EPEQ® IM System.
