For fleets that need the tracker to do more than report a position. The FC-223 reads two inputs — a door, a PTO, a panic button — and drives two switched outputs, in a sealed IP67 case barely larger than a matchbox.
A location dot does not tell you the liftgate opened, the PTO ran for two hours, or the driver pressed the panic button. The FC-223 wires into those signals and reports them as events — and its two outputs let the dashboard switch something on the vehicle in return.
One configurable as wired ignition, the other free for a door switch, PTO signal, or panic button.
Short-circuit-protected outputs for a relay, siren, or indicator, controlled from iMatrix Cloud on the Command plan.
53 × 61 × 18 mm, 79 g, IP67 — dust-tight and rated for 30 minutes at one metre of immersion.
By wire, by supply voltage, or by motion — so the install works even where there is no clean switched feed.
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, to ±2 m CEP(50).
A 220 mAh cell keeps the tracker reporting when main power is disconnected, and raises a power-cut alert.
Circular and polygon geofences evaluated on the tracker itself.
Harsh braking and acceleration from the built-in 3-axis accelerometer, with fine tracking of up to 10 positions per report.

PTO hours, liftgate and door events, and trip history on trucks that work as hard parked as they do moving.
Service fleets →Cargo-door open and close stamped to a location, so a delivery dispute has a record.
Last mile →A small sealed unit for motorcycles, ATVs, and rental vehicles, with outputs available where the fleet needs remote control.
GPS tracking →The unit is yours outright — no loaner program, no three-year term, no early-termination clause. Contact us for volume pricing. Both tiers include iMatrix Cloud, the EdgeUplink eSIM, and US-based support.
Two inputs, one of which can be wired ignition, for signals such as a door switch, PTO or panic button, and two short-circuit-protected outputs for a relay, siren or indicator.
The Command plan at $18.99 per month adds remote control of the two switched outputs from iMatrix Cloud. The Track plan at $13.99 per month covers location, trips and alerts.
No. It has no CAN, J1939 or OBD-II connection. For engine data and fault codes use the FC-201; for J1939 on heavy equipment, the FC-202.
$59.00 for the hardware, plus a plan from $13.99 per month. There is no contract.
The FC-223 is a North America release. Every plan includes the iMatrix EdgeUplink eSIM with Zone 2 (North America) connectivity.
