Collector GPRS
User Guide
Collector GPRS is a portable electronic device, used for collecting, storing and transfer-
ing the data coming from Guardus™ G3, G5 e G7 to a computer. Collector GPRS has ca-
pacity to store 50 Guardus™ downloads. Data transmission to a PC can be made through
the GSM/GPRS mobile phone system. To do this, Collector GPRS needs a SIM Card (not
included) proper activation from GSM mobile operator. Data transmission also can be
made through the USB Communication Cable using IrDA.
Collector GPRS Components
Collector GPRS has two collector interfaces and two indicating lights:
Collector GPRS is powered by a lithium-polymer (Li-Polymer) rechargeable battery,
placed on the backside of the device. This battery must be recharged when the Collector
GPRS sounds a “beep” each 20 seconds (just like a cell phone does). A totally discharged
battery takes aproximately 4h30min to fully charge. When recharging has nished the
COMM green light and GPRS green light will blink simultaneously.
Transferring data to PC
Besides transmitting to a PC using a GSM/GPRS mobile system, Collector GPRS can trans-
mitthe data downloaded from the wands directly through an IrDA interface (if the GSM/
GPRS is out-of-signal).
COMM - red or green light.
GPRS - red or green light.
Power supply input, used for battery
charging.
1 - Align the IrDA window of your interface (e.g.,
USB Communication Cable) with Collector GPRS
IrDA window.
2 - Wait nishing the data transfer and for the
conrmation sound signalling (three BIPS).

the battery, holding and pulling the white connector.
2 - Under the battery you will nd the SIM Card slot. Slide the SIM Card into the
slot to insert it.
3 - Be sure that the SIM Card´s metalic contacts are turned to the board.
4 - Slide the SIM Card support (as showed on the gure), until you feel it locks.
5 - Put back the battery with its rubber support, oriented on the initial position
and aligned with the cover lids.
6 - Reconnect the battery.
7 - Screw the cover back.
Warning: Scratches and folds may damage the SIM Card chip. Be careful when inserting, remov-
ing or storing this chip. Be sure the battery is disconnected before insert or removal of the SIM
Card chip. Check the battery and its rubber support position after openning the back cover, put-
ting them back to the same position after SIM Card chip insertion.

Guardus Data Colleting
Collector GPRS is permanently active, for this reason it doesn’t have an on-o switch.
To download data from Guardus™ G3 and G5 to Collec-
tor GPRS, follow these steps:
1 - Attach Guardus™ on the data collector interface, to download the
stored data.
2 - Wait for the COMM red light and SUCCESS sound signal (PLIM), inform-
ing
the communication beginning.
3 - Keep Guardus™ in contact with the data collector interface, while the
COMM red light blinks. It means the data is being transferred to Collector
GPRS.
4 - Wait for the sound ‘Restart’ (three BIPS), signalizing the download has
nished.
5 - Detach Guardus™ from Collector GPRS interface.
6 - Wait until the COMM green light and GPRS green light blink once, before
downloading another device on Collector GPRS, repeating the cycle
above, if needed.
To download data from Guardus™ G7 to Collector GPRS,
follow these steps:
1 - Press the red button, on the side of Collector GPRS, to enable the IrDA in-
terface.
2 - Wait for the COMM red light to turn on.
3 - Put Guardus™ G7 close to the Collector GPRS, aligning the IrDA interface
with the light on the reader interface of the wand, to download stored data.
4 - Wait for the sound signal ‘Success’ (PLIM), informing the communication
beginning.
5 - Keep Guardus™ in this position, aligned with the Collector GPRS IrDA inter-
face, while the COMM red light blinks. It means the data is being transferred to
Collector GPRS.
6 - Wait for the sound ‘Restart’ (three BIPS), signalizing the download has
nished.
Attention: Be sure you hear three BIPs from Guardus™ at the end of the communication. If you hear
only one BIP, repeat the operation. If the maximum download store capacity has been reached, the
IrDA and contact interfaces won´t be enabled until you transmit at least one of these downloads
stored on Collector GPRS memory.
