Compliance with the safety precautions is the responsibility of
technical personnel installing the tracking device, as well as employees in
charge of equipment on site.
To avoid damage to the device, please, keep it in a stress-resistant
case. Before using the device, please, place it so that its status LED
indicators are clearly visible. Prior to dismantling outputs of the device,
please, disconnect its power supply unit.
Transportation and Storage
The tracking device in the manufacturer's package can be
transported by any closed land and sea transport mode (in railroad cars,
containers, closed trucks, cabins, etc.). It can also be transported in
heated aircraft cabins.
When transporting and storing the device, the package instructions
on the labels must be observed.
Warranty
The warranty period for the tracking device shall be 12 months of
the date of commissioning. The commissioning date must be recorded
per requirements set forth in the certificate for the tracking device; if no
such data are available in the certificate, the warranty period shall be
counted starting with the tracking device shipment to the customer.
Manufacturer's warranty shall only be valid provided that the
customer complies with the requirements of this Manual. In the event of
their violation, or in the presence of mechanical or electrical damage
caused by the factors that are not covered in this Manual, the Warranty
shall be deemed void.
Device
Intended Use of the Device
Tracking device BI-820OBD TREK is used to solve problems of
navigation and control over the transport standard. The device is
intended for use on moving objects equipped with OBD-II diagnostic
connector and is used to solve problems:
• Determination of geographic coordinates, speeds and directions of
movement;
• Data collection from the on-board computer of cars through the
OBD-II interface;

4
www.bitrek.com.ua
[email protected]om.ua
[phone]
• Data transfer to a server for processing data processing in
specialized software.
GSM 900/1800 mobile or GSM 850/900/1800/1900 carrier network
is used as a medium for data transfer. To determine the coordinates,
NAVSTAR GPS system is used. To detect vehicle movement, the data
obtained from GPS or GPS/GLONASS and internal acceleration meter are
used.
Principle of Operation
In real time, the tracking device:
using an in-built GPS or GPS/GLONASS receiver, determines the
location and motion parameters of an object (time, geographical
coordinates, speed, direction of travel);
• determines with the help of the built-in GPS or GPS / GLONASS
receiver of the data and time of the object (time, geographical
coordinates, speed, direction of movement);
• collects and processes information from the on-board computer
of the car;
The data obtained are recorded and stored in the internal log that
is based on a non-volatile memory chip. Records from this log are
transferred to the operator panel through a GSM channel with a
predetermined frequency or on an event basis. Information exchange is
done via GPRS and SMS. Voice communication is also supported.
On-line terminal operation is only possible provided there is GSM
coverage. Beyond the GSM network coverage area, the tracking device is
in the mode of a "black box", i.e. it records all logged information to the
non-volatile memory and transfers it when a vehicles enters into a GSM
coverage area.

Cables must be located and clamped along the entire length with
straps clamped to the clamping sites. Cabling must be done so as to
avoid any damage during the operation, when closing doors/hatches.
Connection to a Computer
The tracking device can be connected to a computer for
configuration and servicing. The device has UART output interface for
that purpose. In order to connect the device to a computer a USB-UART
adapter should be used that can be purchased from the dealer as an
option.
Fig. 3. BI-820OBD TREK Connection Diagram
A terminal program can be used for data exchange with the device.
Terminal configuration settings: bit rate –115,200 bps, data bit –8, stop
bit –1, without parity check, without stream control.
Once the link is up, the device will start sending its status data to
the terminal. Using the terminal program, a user can send commands to
the device and receive responses to them. But the device first needs to
send access password to the terminal in the following format:
TPASS: password;
where password is an access password for the terminal (by default,
11111 is used).
Once sent, the password will be valid for 60 seconds. After this
timeout, the password needs to be sent again so that the data can be
exchanged with the device.

List of SMS Commands
SMS commands are used for getting current state of the device,
troubleshooting potential errors, configuring the settings, etc. An SMS
command should be sent together with login and password; the sender's
number must be included to the list of authorized contacts (when such
list is used).
Structure of the SMS Commands
Any SMS with commands includes login/password pair (when
configured) and a list of different commands. The commands are
delimited with semicolon delimiter.
SMS commands entered to the tracking device should be of the
following format:
<login><space><password><space><command1>;<space><co
mmand2>;<space><commandN>;
Example of an SMS command:
abcd 1234 getgps; getstatus;

10
www.bitrek.com.ua
[email protected]om.ua
[phone]
ATTENTION! Total length of an SMS command string
should not exceed 160 Latin characters. Number of
commands per one SMS is only limited by the maximum
length of an SMS.
It is also essential to observe the order of the commands, when
they are sent in one SMS message. The device reads and performs the
commands in sequential order. E.g.,: once the cpureset; command is
received the device processor will reset and the commands will not be
further performed.
Correct:
setparam 0242 <APN>;
setparam 0245 <HOST>;
Incorrect:
setparam 0246 <PORT>;
cpureset;
setparam 0242 <APN>;
cpureset;
setparam 0245 <HOST>;
setparam 0246 <PORT>;
When login and passwords pairs are configured for access using
SMS, they must be included to each SMS with the commands. If a
login/password pair is enabled, but not included to an SMS with the
commands, such SMS will be ignored. If a login/password pair option is
not enabled, it will not be checked.
In the event that one of the authorized phone numbers is enabled,
SMS commands will only be performed provided that they have been
sent from one of the authorized phone numbers (login/password is also
required, if enabled). If there is no authorized phone number enabled,
SMS with commands will be received from any phone number.
Configuring the Device
The BI-820OBD TREK Tracking Device can be configured by one of
the methods below:
1. Using a direct connection between the device and a computer.
2. Remotely, using SMS commands.
Configuration of the device by any of the methods available only
requires configuring necessary device parameters. Each parameter has
its own unique ID. Special commands are used to read/record the values
of a selected parameter.
In case of remote configuration of the device using SMS, one
should bear in mind that the total length of an SMS should not exceed
160 Latin characters. Number of commands per one SMS is only limited
by the maximum length of an SMS.
All commands for device manipulation can be divided into the
controlling and information ones.

connecting the tracker to the diagnostic connector of a new vehicle and
engine establishment, send the command canobdclr; After accepting the
command, the tracker sends in response a confirming text OBD-II
SETTINGS CLEAR OK.
Basic Device Configuration
Once a mobile carrier SIM-card is inserted and power supply is
connected, the device needs to be configured for transferring data to the
server. When the Bitrek Configurator is used, all configuration settings
will be divided into groups:
Server and GPRS
Tracking
Safety
Service
Voice communication
Roaming
The settings required for the basic operation of the device include
data transfer and tracking settings. They are included to the "Server &
GPRS" and "Tracking" groups. Once the appropriate settings are
configured, the device will start transmitting the data of its current
location to the server.
All configurable settings are given in Addendum 1.
Security Settings
To comply with the security regulations, access to the device
configuration settings may be restricted.
When connecting the device to a computer by means of USB-UART
adapter, the device access password must be entered every time, when
sending the commands to the device.
Default password is 11111. The password is valid for 60 seconds
once sent. Once this time lapses, the password needs to be entered
again. Access password can be changed by a user.
The default password must be sent to the device in the following format –
TPASS: 11111;
Example of a response:
"TASK COM TERM: PASSWORD OK" –the password is correct;
"TASK COM TERM: INCORRECT PASSWORD" –the password is
incorrect;

16
www.bitrek.com.ua
[email protected]om.ua
[phone]
When sending the commands using SMS, access login and
password can be enabled. To set login, the ID 0252 parameter is used,
while for the password the ID 0253 is used.
When login and password are enabled, any SMS command should
have the following structure before sending it:
<Login><Password><Command1>;<Command2>;<Command3>;
Example of a command: abcd 1234 getgps; getstatus;
Apart from setting a login and a password, authorized phone
numbers can be used. To record phone number to the device memory,
the ID 0261 –ID 0269 parameters are used (refer to Addendum 1). In
total, up to 9 phone numbers are supported by the device. If this feature
is used, the device will receive only SMS from the authorized phone
numbers saved to its memory.
If SMS login and password are enabled, they must be included in
each SMS with the commands.
Configuring I/O Components
The BI-820OBD TREK Tracking Device can collect, process and send
data obtained from different sensors to the server. Each sensor is an I/O
component and has a group consisting of 6 parameters for configuration.
E.g., to configure data transfer of voltage level from the power
supply unit to the server the ID 0410/0411/0412/0413/0414/0415
parameter group is used. These parameters have the following structure:
0410/0411/0412/0413/0414/0415
The first three digits (highlighted with green) specify the number of the
group of parameters for configuration of an I/O component.
The last digit (highlighted with gray) is a parameter number. There
are 6 parameters (from 0 to 5) per an I/O component. Possible values for
these parameters are shown in Table 5.

Parameter 4 –Setting the type of trigger event generated:
0 - Going back within range.
If a certain range is configured for the values of a sensor
(sensor value ranges are set as follows: the lower range
threshold is recorded to a respective parameter –Lower
Threshold, the upper threshold is recorded to the Upper
Threshold parameter respectively), then the event will be
generated, when actual value of the sensor readings comes
within such configured range. In all other cases the event will
not be generated and no information will be sent to the server.
Example: Lower threshold of input voltage is set to 0 V, the
upper threshold is 10 V (10000 mV). If the input voltage
decreases lower than 10 V, the event will be generated (Figure
4).
Fig. 4. Generation of the Event by Going Within Range.
1 - Going beyond range.
An event will be generated, when actual value of sensor
readings goes beyond a configured range.
Example: Lower threshold of input voltage is set to 0 V, the
upper threshold is 10 V (10000 mV). If the input voltage
increases over 10 V, the event will be generated (Figure 5).

19

[phone]
Fig. 5. Generation of the Event by Going Beyond Range.
2 - Going within/beyond range.
An event will be generated each time when actual value of
sensor readings crosses the limits of a configured range.
Example: Lower threshold of input voltage is set to 5 V (5,000),
and the upper threshold is 10 V (10,000 mV). When actual
input voltage goes off the limits of a configured range, the
event is generated (Figure 6).
Fig. 6. Generation of the Event by Going Within/Beyond Range.
3 - Monitoring.
When this mode is selected, the data will be transmitted
continuously, and no events will be generated.
4 - Monitoring + Going Within Range.
When a Going Within Range event is generated, actual value
from the sensor starts to be transmitted to the server in the
monitoring mode.

20

[email protected]om.ua
[phone]
5 - Monitoring + Going Beyond Range.
When a Going Beyond Range event is generated, actual value
from the sensor starts to be transmitted to the server in the
monitoring mode.
6 - Monitoring + Going Within/Beyond Range.
When one of the events is generated, actual value from the
sensor starts to be transmitted to the server.
7 - Change of Input by a Preset Value.
When an input value changes increasingly or decreasingly by a
preset value, respective event will be generated. Value of the
setting is specified by the Upper Threshold parameter.
8 - Monitoring + Change of Input by a Preset Value.
When the events is generated, actual value from the sensor
starts to be transmitted to the server.
Parameter 5 –Averaging Constant.
It is the time during which an I/O component must be within a particular
state in order to generate an event. This setting is specified in
milliseconds (X*50 msec, i.e. when setting the value to 10, the constant
will be 10*50=500 msec).
The list of all I/O components of the device available for

The device can be configured so as to make an outbound call if a
particular condition is met. Activation of a particular I/O component
constitutes such condition. Voice calls must be enabled in general
configuration settings of the device. I/O component must be enabled,
configured to one of the events (going within range, going beyond range,
going within/beyond range), its ID must be set as a trigger for outbound
calls, and an authorized phone number Phone0 must be configured.
Note
Outbound call can only be made or an SMS message can only be
sent to a phone number specified in parameter 0261 (Phone0).
Additional prerequisites include device being within the GSM carrier
coverage area and sufficient balance. In case the device is beyond the
coverage area, the call will be postponed until such time when the device
returns back to the coverage area. The device takes one attempt to make
an outbound call per each trigger activation.
Alarm configuration settings are specified in the Security section of
Addendum 1. Authorized phone number Phone0 is specified as the ID
0261 parameter.
