FAQ

Who could need these systems?

-The Alberta Government requires every diesel engine that operates in or near oil and gas sites to be equipped with an adequate air intake shut-off valve, equipped with a remote control and until now there has been no system that fully complies with this mandate. 

-    If there is a problem when trucks are pumping fuel or other materials, hundreds of dollars of materials can be spilled if the engine is not shutdown immediately, not to mention the environmental costs and damages.  

-    In case of a gas leak or other emergency situation, lives could be saved if all diesel engines in an area could be shut down remotely by a site supervisor. The remote should continue to broadcast a signal so other equipment entering the area would be shutdown.
   
-    When current engine shut down systems are triggered, operators have no way of determining why and they are very difficult to reset. This can cost operators thousands of dollars on towing costs.

-    Most current engine shutdown systems can load the engines with fuel when shutting them down. This can damage the engine when trying to restart it.

-Truck and trailer theft is on the rise and can cost companies millions of dollars. Some companies are even having problems getting insurance.

Valves should be certified every year and current shut down systems cannot be tested properly.

How does the Diesel Valve work?

The DTI Valve fits on the air intake of any diesel engine. It is designed to shut the engine off by blocking its air intake in case it reaches a dangerously high RPM, or low voltage. DTI Patented Shut-off system allows multiple ways to shut off the engine and restart with ease. The butterfly design does not load the engine with fuel during shutdown allowing you to re-start it safely right away.

How does the GPS work?

The GPS Module is the component of the system that uses satellites to pin-point the exact location of the unit. The built-in cellular communicator transmits the location of the unit to our servers which you can track using any computer with internet access.
