20. A wireless security, telemetry and control system for a mobile piece of equipment comprising:
-
at least one smart relay unit associated with a selected function of said mobile piece of equipment, said at least one smart relay unit having a means for receiving wireless communication from a main control unit; wherein said at least one smart relay includes a smart mode wherein said at least one smart relay has normally closed electrical contacts and said smart relay unit monitors for attempted use of said function of said mobile piece of equipment to which it is associated, whereby upon an attempted use of said function said smart relay unit transmits a signal to said main control unit if said main control unit transmits an accepted identification back to said smart relay said function is allowed to operate, if said main control unit transmits an unaccepted identification to said smart relay said smart relay is opened thereby preventing said function from operation and wherein said smart relay mode hides said smart relay from diagnostic equipment and the mobile equipment'"'"'s on-board computer; a main control unit located within said piece of equipment having a means for transmitting wireless communication to said at least one smart relay, said main control unit also having a means of establishing a user ID; wherein said smart relay unit includes a means for transmitting wireless communication to said main control unit, and said main control unit includes a means for receiving wireless communication from said smart relay unit; whereby said main control unit establishes said user ID and thereafter sends a wireless communication to said smart relay to enable or disable said function of said mobile piece of equipment to which it is associated. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
