Data Labelling Support Document

Rev. A1 – 05/2026

Warnings

⚠ Professional Setup Required: Configuration of data labelling requires physical access to your installed device. Ensure the vehicle is stationary and parked before beginning setup.

! IMPORTANT: Data labelling configuration is an all-or-nothing process. If any input fails during setup, the entire configuration will be cancelled and no changes will be saved.

WARNING! Do not attempt to configure the device while the vehicle is in motion or in operation. Configuration must only be performed in stationary, securely parked vehicles.

Overview

Data labelling transforms raw electrical signals from your vehicle's built-in digital inputs into clear, meaningful data in MyGeotab. Instead of seeing raw voltage readings, you will see intuitive labels, such as "Seatbelt Buckled," "PTO Engaged," or "Door Open", that integrate directly into fleet reports, driver safety scorecards, and real-time monitoring.

Compatible Devices

Data Labelling is supported on the following Geotab devices:

1. GO10™
2. GO10 Plus™

✱ NOTE: Using the data labelling features requires the following GO10 Family Harness:

1. HRN-XGL06S6 - Auxiliaries/GPIO harness for GO10 and GO10 Plus.

Harness Installation

To install the harness, see Auxiliaries - I/O Harness Install Guide.

Device Connection

Connect the Auxiliaries harness to the I/O port on the back of your GO Device using the 6-pin Molex connector

MyInstall Setup and Configuration

When setting up data labelling, you will assign one of the following use cases to each digital input on your device.

Currently supported use cases:

1. Driver Seatbelt: Tracks whether the driver's seatbelt is Buckled or Unbuckled
2. Power Take-Off (PTO): Tracks whether auxiliary equipment (such as a crane or pump) is Engaged or Disengaged
3. Cargo Door: Tracks whether a cargo door is Open or Closed
4. Generic Digital Input: Records the raw on/off signal without a specific label. This option can be used alongside other use cases.

5. For more information on MyInstall, please see the MyInstall User Guide.

6. ✱ NOTE: Each input can only be assigned one use case at a time, except for Generic Digital Input.

7. Ensure the harness is wired into the vehicle and plugged in prior to powering on the GO10 or GO10 Plus device

9. Step 1: Open MyInstall

10. Access MyInstall through MyAdmin or use the direct link myadmin.geotab.com/myinstall/services/. Select New Installation.

11. Step 2: Find your device

12. On the MyInstall home screen, scan the barcode on your device or manually enter the serial number (starting with "X") to locate your GO10™ or GO10 Plus™.

13. Step 3: Navigate to Auxiliaries / GPIO

14. Once your device is scanned, navigate to the Check device status screen. For GO10 Plus™ and GO10™ devices, you will see an Auxiliaries / GPIO setup option appear on the device card. Tap this to open the data labelling configuration page, which lists all available digital inputs on your device.

15. 

17. Step 4: Assign a use case to each input

18. For each digital input you want to label, choose the appropriate use case from the dropdown list. You may leave inputs unassigned if they are not connected to anything in the vehicle.

19. ✱ NOTE: Only one use case can be assigned to each individual input and each use case can only be assigned once apart from Digital (generic). If you need to go back during calibration, your selections on this screen will be preserved.

20. 

22. Step 5: Complete calibration

23. ! IMPORTANT: Before starting calibration, ensure all seatbelts in the vehicle are left unbuckled. Do not buckle any seatbelt until the app specifically instructs you to do so.

24. When you tap Continue from the use case selection screen, the app will display a loading screen for approximately 10 seconds while the device prepares for calibration. Wait for this to complete before proceeding.

25. For use cases that require calibration (Driver Seatbelt, PTO, and Cargo Door), the app will guide you through each configured input one at a time. The screen will show which input number you are currently calibrating.

26. For each input, follow the on-screen instructions:

27. 1. Set the input in the first state when prompted (for example, buckle the seatbelt, activate the PTO equipment, or open the cargo door). Wait to hear a beep from the device confirming the signal was detected.

28. 

29. 2. Set the input in the opposite state: unbuckle, deactivate, or close. Wait for a second beep confirming the calibration is complete.

30. 

32. ! IMPORTANT: Each input must be calibrated within 2 minutes. If the process times out, the entire configuration will be cancelled and you will need to restart from Step 4. You can tap the back button at any point; your use case selections will be preserved.

33. Step 6: Verify your configuration

34. Once calibration is complete, you will be returned to the Check device status screen, which will confirm that GPIO setup is complete. The current labelled status of each configured input will be displayed:

35. 1. Driver Seatbelt: Buckled or Unbuckled
    2. PTO: Engaged or Disengaged
    3. Cargo Door: Open or Closed
    4. Generic Digital Input: 0 (off) or 1 (on)

36. Toggle each physical input to confirm the status updates correctly on screen. If the status does not change immediately, tap the refresh button to fetch the latest reading from the device.

37. MyGeotab Measurements

38. Once the installation has been completed, Administrators will see the measurements populated inside of MyGeotab. Your labelled data will begin appearing in MyGeotab under your vehicle's activity details, safety scorecards, and related reports, including seatbelt compliance, PTO usage, and door monitoring.

39. Use the Measurements feature in MyGeotab to view the direct signals available from a particular asset, as well as key graphical information about the events. For more information, see the MyGeotab Product Guide.

40. Select the appropriate Diagnostic Type based on the asset’s specific installation:

5. Driver Seatbelt - “Driver seatbelt (1. Unbuckled)“
6. Power Take-Off (PTO) - “Power takeoff engaged (1. Engaged)”
7. Cargo Door - “Cargo door open”
8. Generic Digital Input - Select the appropriate Aux input depending on the specific installation setup
9. 1. Aux 9 - 12 (1. On)

✱ NOTE: For diagnostic type, GPIO Input 1 corresponds to Aux 9, Input 2 with Aux 10, Input 3 with Aux 11, Input 4 with Aux 12

What is Data Labelling?

Data labelling lets you assign a real-world meaning (such as "Driver Seatbelt" or "Cargo Door") to the raw electrical signals coming from your vehicle's built-in inputs. This makes it easy to understand and report on what is happening in the vehicle without needing any technical knowledge.

Which devices support Data Labelling?

Data labelling is currently available on GO10™ and GO10 Plus™ devices

What use cases can I configure?

The current available use cases are: Driver Seatbelt, PTO (Power Take-Off), Cargo Door, and Generic Digital Input.

What happens if calibration fails or times out?

If calibration is not completed within 2 minutes, the entire configuration is cancelled and no changes are saved. You will need to restart the setup process from Step 4.

Can I update or change the use case assignment later?

Yes. Return to the Auxiliaries/GPIO section in MyInstall at any time to update your data labelling settings.

Why can I not hear a beep during calibration?

The beep comes directly from the device. If you cannot hear it, ensure you are close to the device during calibration and that the surrounding area is reasonably quiet.

Where will I see the labelled data in MyGeotab?

Once configured, your labelled data will appear in MyGeotab under your vehicle's activity details, safety scorecards, and any related reports for the configured use case (e.g., seatbelt compliance reports).

Why must seatbelts be left unbuckled before calibration?

The calibration process works by detecting the difference between the buckled and unbuckled states. If a seatbelt is buckled before calibration begins, the device may not correctly learn the signal. Always start with all seatbelts unbuckled, and only buckle them when the app specifically instructs you to do so.

What is the brief loading screen at the start of calibration?

After confirming your use case selections, the app shows a loading screen for approximately 10 seconds. This pause allows the device to enter self-learning mode and ensures it is ready before you begin the physical calibration steps.

What if my use case is not supported?

If your immediate use case is not currently implemented within the data labelling feature, please utilize the Digital (generic) input option. If you have suggestions for future data labelling features, please submit them via Geotab’s community feedback hub.
