ProductDescription
TheFreedomATSisasimpletoapplyMobileDataManagement&CollectionDevice.Theprimaryadvantageofthe
ATSiseasyinstallationandsetup.ACellularServiceisnotrequiredfor2outof4typicalATSSetupsshownhere.
OutoftheBoxstandardfeaturesincludearemovableSDmemorycardforseasonaldatacollection,orbuiltinon‐
boardWi‐Fi(Drive‐by‐Download).ThestandardunitalsorequiresNOadditionalsoftwaretobeginmanagement
withitsbuiltinwebconfigurationtool,setupandmaintenancecouldn’tbemoreconvenient.IftheATSisona
networkorconnectedtoyourlaptopusingtheprovidedcables,allsetupandconfigurationcanbedonewithany
PCrunningawebbrowsersuchasInternetExplorer™,Firefox™,orOpera™.TheWLAN(Wi‐Fi)transceiverincludes
allthelatestauthenticationmethodsandalsothelatestlevelsof802.11A/B/G/I,encryption.TheFreedomATSis
compatiblewiththemodelGL400,Freedom2orACSspreadercontrolunits.TheATScanbeusedwithanyother
ApplicationthatutilizesacompliantstandardRS‐232serialport.TheATScanbeusedformanyapplicationsthat
utilizeitsstandardfeaturesincludingassettrackingorremotedataacquisition,storageandtransmission.
GPSReceiver(optional),TheGPSsignalcontainsGMTtime,latitudeandlongitudinaldataandothergeometric
datausedtocalculatevelocityandaltitude.Snap‐shotsofcurrentGPSdataalongwithatimestampandanyother
datasuchasfromaSaltSpreadercontrollerarestoredtogetherinsequentialrecords.IfusingtheGPSreceiverthe
real‐timeclockisbasedonGMT(orUTC)timereceivedfromthesatellite.IfnoGPSreceiverisinstalledthendatais
timestampedbasedonthesettimeoftheinternalreal‐timeclockvalue.
Wi‐Fi,(WirelessLAN)(optional),ThisWirelessIPGatewayoptionisoneoftwowirelessoptionsusedfordata
transferandequipmentconfigurationandmaintenance.WirelessLANisagoodcosteconomicalalternativetoa
CellulardataorthecomplicationsofusingaDigitalradionetwork.Thelatestlevelsofauthenticationand
encryptionareavailablefortheWirelessLAN(Wi‐Fi).ThedownsideofWirelessLANoffersnoreal‐timeData

1. DonotusetheACSsystemforextendedamountsoftimewithouttheSDcardinstalled.Theonboardmemorysizeislimitedand
typicallyshouldnotbeusedformorethanacoupledayswithoutdownloadtoanetworkdriveorOn‐boardSDCard.
2. Re‐installtheSDcardbypushingitinuntilthedetentmechanismclicksandresetsitself.Thecardshouldbeflushtothepanelsurface.
Ifthesystemis‘on’;cyclepowertotheATSunitsoonbootitwillfindthecard.Thedatawrittentotheon‐boardmemoryisthen
movedtotheSDcardwherethedatacontinuestoaccumulate.
Note:TheATSminihasnowayforconfigurationfilestobesavedorrestored.ConfigurationmustmanuallyenteredforeachSetup
