SMARTONE Basics
Overview
The SMARTONE is designed to track the position of Trailers, Cargo
Containers, Heavy Construction Equipment, Generators, Boats/Barges and any
other mobile assets. The
SMARTONE also has 2 inputs to manage run time of
engines and/or other alarm inputs.
The SM ARTONE processes GPS satellite signals to obtain its position in
terms of longitude and latitude and transmits this information over
Globalstar’s Simplex Satellite Network. In addition to position
information, the
SMARTONE transmits other message types that include
battery status, input alarm status and diagnostic information. The
SMARTONE is configured using a computer and connection cable to
communicate these messages at certain times and/or under certain
conditions.
Modes of Operation
The SMARTONE can be configured to operate in three different Modes:
Standard Messaging Mode, Reduced Messaging Mode and Theft Recovery Mode.
Standard Messaging
In Standard Messaging Mode, the SMARTONE reports its position at regular time
intervals that are programmed during the configuration process. Standard
Messaging Mode can also be configured to utilize the
SMARTONE’s internal
vibration sensor. If enabled, the SMARTONE will transmit its position at
independently configured regular time intervals when the device is In Motion.
Location messages can be programmed to be constant (Message Interval) or the
device may be configured to use up to 12 different delays in
sequence (Message-Time(s) of Day). Message Interval can be programmed
in 1 minute intervals from 35 minutes up to 45 days.
Example of Message Interval: The SMARTONE is configured to
report once every 24 hours when not in motion and every 2 hours when
In Motion. If the SMARTONE went into motion at any time of day the
Message Interval while In Motion would be every 2 hours beginning
when the SMARTONE started moving.
Example of Message-Time(s) of Day: The SMARTONE is configured
with a message time of day of 9:00am, a second message time of
day of 12:00 noon, a third message time of day of 8:00pm and
once per hour when In Motion. The SMARTONE would transmit 3
messages a day at the same configured times every day. If the
SMARTONE went In Motion it would transmit its location message
every hour.
