[phone]
Tracking device "BI-520L TREK" shall be applied to solve issues of
navigation, remote control and monitoring of a vehicle or other remote object.
The tracking device is designed to be installed on any mobile or remote
stationary object in order to:
determine the geographical coordinates, speed and direction of
movement;
ensure data collection from external devices;
control actuating mechanisms;
transmit data to the control dispatching center.
Data communication channel is the network of mobile communication
operator with GSM standard 900/1800 or GSM 850/900/1800/1900. LBS, GPS
or LBS, GPS/GLONASS are used to determine the coordinates.
Device shall be installed out of reach of the driver. The device is not
designed to run on water transport.
Operation principles
In real time mode the tracking device:
determines location and movement parameters of the object (time,
geographical coordinates, speed, and direction);
collects and processes information from the analog, digital, and
discrete sensors;
ensures control over actuating mechanisms upon command from
the control dispatching panel.
Received data are recorded and stored in an internal log, which is
implemented on microchip of nonvolatile memory. At specified intervals or
according to event entries from this log are sent to the server of the
dispatcher via the GSM network. Exchange of information is carried out by
means of GPRS and SMS channels.
Operation of the device in "on-line" mode is possible only at presence of
the network coverage of cellular transmission by GSM 900/1800 standard.
Outside GSM network coverage, the tracking unit operates in the "black box"
mode, i.e., it records all information in the nonvolatile memory and sends it
when the vehicle is entering a GSM coverage area.

Carrying out welding work during the repair of the vehicle necessarily
requires disabling of power socket and peripherals.
Analog input voltage can range from 0 V to 27 V.
The discrete output of the device are made according to the scheme
such as "Open collector". The load shall be connected to the gap between the
discrete output and "+" power of the on-board network. When activated, the
output gets ground switching. Maximum current of the discrete output load
shall not exceed 0.5 A. If it is needed to switch higher currents, connect
digital outputs via additional relay.
Analogue input voltage shall not exceed 27 V.
Device supply voltage shall not exceed 36 V. Otherwise the device
may be put out of action.
Device to computer connection
The tracking device can be connected to a PC, in order to configure the
device, as well as to perform maintenance works. For this purpose, the device
is equipped with a service UART output. To connect to a computer, use an
additional USB-UART converter, which can be purchased from a dealer for an
additional fee.
UART output socket is located on the board of the device next to the
SIM-card slot. To access the socket, remove the side cover of the device.
Procedure of connection of USB-UART converter cable is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Connection of the cable of USB-UART converter to the device "BI-
520L TREK".

Connect the cable of USB-UART converter to the tracking device so that
the arrow on the cable socket was located closer to the SIM-card slot (see
Figure 4).
To work with the USB-UART converter, install the appropriate device
drivers. They can be downloaded from the official website:
http://www.ftdichip.com
To exchange data with the device, use a terminal program. Settings of
the terminal: speed - 115200 bit/second, data bit - 8, stop bit - 1, no parity
check, no flow control.
Once connected, the device will transmit data about its state to the
terminal. In addition, the user is able to use a terminal program to send
commands to a device and receive response to them. Send preliminary to
device the password to access the terminal in the following format:
TPASS: password;
, where password is a password for access to the device terminal
(default value is 11111).
Lifetime of access password after sending is 60 seconds.
After this time, re-send the password to exchange data with the device.
Description of indication elements
Top panel of the tracking device contains two LEDs that indicate the
current status of the device.
LED "STATUS" (red) is on for 0.5 seconds and is off for 0.5 seconds
when GPRS connection is inactive; is constantly on when GPRS connection is
active and the device is connected to a remote server; LED slowly flashes for
0.2 seconds when GPRS connection is not active, and the modem is in sleep
mode.
LED "GNSS" (green) flashes when the device is receiving correct
position coordinates and is off when the device is not receiving the
coordinates, or the signal is too weak, and the data are not correct.

Basic configuration
After installing the SIM-card of the mobile operator and connection of
the power supply, the device shall be configured to transmit data to the server.
All adjustable parameters of the device are divided into groups:
Server and GPRS.
Tracking.
Security.
Service.
Voice communication.
Roaming.
Setting required for basic operation of the device includes data
transmission and tracking. They are grouped in "Server and GPRS" and
"Tracking". After setting up the necessary parameters the device will transmit
data about its current location to the server.
All parameters available for configuration are specified in Appendix 1.
Security settings
To meet the safety conditions, access to the configuration of the device
can be limited.
At connection your device to the PC using USB-UART converter, every
time you send a command, the device requires the access password. Standard
access code is 11111. Lifetime of password is 60 seconds. After this timeout
the password shall be re-entered. Access password can be changed by the
user (ID 0910, see Appendix 1)
Format of sending a standard password to the device - TPASS: 11111;
Examples of response:
«TASK COM TERM: PASSWORD OK» - correct password is entered;
«TASK COM TERM: INCORRECT PASSWORD» - incorrect password is entered;
When sending commands via SMS, set the login and password of SMS access.
To set the login use ID 0252 parameter, to set the password use ID 0253.
To set the login and password, any SMS command shall have the following
structure to be sent:

17
www.bitrek.com.ua
[email protected].ua
[phone]
<Login><Password><Command1>;<Command2>;<Command3>;
Example of the command to be sent:
abcd 1234 getgps; getstatus;
In addition to the login and password, use the authorized phone
numbers. To record the telephone numbers in the memory device use the
parameters ID 0261 - ID 0269 (see Appendix 1). Total up to 9 phone numbers
can be applied. When using this function, the device will respond to SMS from
the stored in the memory authorized phone numbers only.
If the login and password are set by SMS, they shall be specified in each
SMS with commands.
Adjustment of I/O elements
The tracking device "BI-520L TREK" is able to collect, process and send
to the server the data received from various sensors. Each sensor is an I/O
element and has a group consisting of 6 parameters for setting. For example,
to set the value of power supply voltage level to the server, use group of
parameters of ID 0410/0411/0412/0413/0414/0415. These options have the
following structure:
0410/0411/0412/0413/0414/0415
First 3 numbers (green) refer to parameter group number to configure
the I/O element.
Last number (gray) is a parameter number. 6 parameters (from 0 to 5)
are available for a single I/O element. Possible values of these parameters are
presented in Table 5.

selecting "Priority: high" data of the sensor will be sent to the server at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Parameter 2 - Upper limit - set the upper limit of the I/O element.
Parameter 3 - Lower limit - set the lower limit of the I/O element.
Parameter 4 - Set the type of the generated event:

follows - lower limit of the range is recorded to the corresponding
parameter - "Lower limit", upper limit of the range is recorded to the
corresponding parameter "Upper limit"), the event will be generated
when the actual value of the sensor gets within the specified range. In
other cases, the event will not be created and the information will not be
sent to the server.
Example: The lower voltage limit is set to 0, the upper limit is set to 10 V
(10 000 mV). Lowering the voltage below 10 V will generate the event
(see Figure 5).

Figure 7 - Generation of event by returning/leaving to/of the range.
3 - Monitoring. When this mode is selected, data will be transmitted
continuously, the events will not be generated.
4 - Monitoring + entering the range. When there is generated the event
after entering the range, the actual value of the sensor starts to be
transmitted to the server in the monitoring mode.
5 - Monitoring + leaving the range. When there is generated the event
after leaving the range, the actual value of the sensor starts to be
