6 FoxLite Basic Functions
FoxLite Basic Functions are:
•Algorithm with intelligent criteria for selecting points in time for sending data with
GPS position. The objective of this algorithm is to minimize GPS data to be sent, and to
give the best information about vehicle's moving,
•Calculation of distance traveled by vehicle and sending this information together with
GPS data,
•Calculation of maximum speed during one drive,
•Calculation of maximum speed between two successive regular GPS positions,
•Sending events caused by digital inputs or changes in status of the vehicle,
•Logger capacity more than 30.000 records,
•Sending records in real time, or logging records using user defined time periods,
•Roaming detection, and automatic logging for the time period being in roaming,
•Different sending parameters for roaming,
•Optimal GSM network selection in roaming. Algorithm built inside the device is
designed to select optimal GSM network by sending price using netlist file. Netlist file
contains GSM network list with prices. Networks can be marked as white (use this
network wherever possible) or black do not use this network or neutral.
•GSM cell ID/name sending,
•Possibility to connect external alarm output to the device (external alarm function)
•Fuel consumption measure,
•Vehicle accumulator monitoring,
•Device backup battery low event,
•Remote device parameters setup ability,
•Remote device management ability,
•Remote device debug ability,
•Remote firmware updating ability,
•Parameter backup on SIM card,
•Two selectable sending formats, binary and XML formats.
•Ability to use M2M SIM cards.
•Advanced power save function.
6.1 Sending Records Using GPRS
Sending information using GPRS service is primary function of the device. Record contains
information such as: time, GPS position, GSM cell info, vehicle's status information and other
event data. Content of the record is fully configurable using device setup.
All records can be classified in two categories:
•Record with regular GPS position data, generated by intelligent sending
algorithm.(idStatusa=0)
•Unsynchronized records with event data (idStatusa ≠0).

FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual
13
6.1.1 Sending Regular GPS Data
Tracking vehicle in movement using electronic maps is possible only if device periodically
sends GPS position data. This period can be caused by time, distance or vehicle direction
difference between present and last send position.
Device built-in expert system takes more parameters into account to resolve best time for
sending data. Main goal is to minimize sending data and to have optimal track on map. Device
will send GPS data if this conditions are met:
•as soon as device receives first valid GPS position (only on startups, and in case of
loosing GPS signal in tunnels, garages and etc.),
•vehicle stops moving for more than 30sec (contact key on),
•vehicle starts moving after 6 seconds (contact key on),
•if maximum sending time from last sent position expires (contact key on),
•if maximum distance from last sent position has been traveled (contact key on),
•if all following four conditions are met at the same time (contact key on):
ominimum time from last sent position has expired
ominimal direction change from last sent position has occurred
ovehicle is moving faster than minimal setup speed
ominimal distance from last sent position is traveled.
Record with regular GPS data includes time information, vehicle status, GSM cell info,
distance traveled from device start up (wake up from power save) and (if selected), max speed
between two successive records with regular GPS data.
6.1.2 Sending Events
Device sends event data when event occur. Record with event data includes: event ID, time
when event occur, GPS position where event occurred, GSM cell info, vehicle status, and event
data. Event will be sent when:
•change of state on digital inputs occurred,
•change of state on digital outputs occurred
•vehicle speed is over limit,
•engine RPM is over limit,
•package of fuel measurement is generated,
•vehicle accumulator under voltage is detected,
•no valid GPS signal has been detected for more than 24hours,
•device responds on remote commands,
•sim card connection is lost.
•changing state of the device (reset or waking up from power save mode)
•...
6.2 Calculation of Traveled Distance
Using GPS data, device calculates distance traveled from from first startup to present position
in meters. Traveled distance is sent as part of regular GPS data records (Event 0) and with
contact on/off message. Total error of traveled distance calculation algorithm depends on GPS
reception, and in cases when GPS signal is continuous can be less then 2%.

FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual
14
6.3 Calculation of vehicle maximum speed during one ride
Using GPS data, device calculates vehicle maximum speed during one ride (between contact on
and contact off message). Calculated maximum vehicle speed is sent with contact off message.
6.4 Calculation of vehicle maximum speed between two regular GPS positions
Using GPS data, device calculates vehicle maximum speed between two regular GPS positions.
This feature is configurable using parameter Max Point Speed. MaxSpeed is sent with regular
GPS data messages.
6.5 Data Logging
FoxLite device logger has capacity of more than 30.000 records. Logger can be configured to
work in three different modes:
•Real time sending. In this mode no records is logged unless GPRS signal is weak or
there is no response from the server.
•Data logging while in roaming. Device can be setup to log data records while device is
in roaming. Device will stop logging and send logged data as soon as vehicle enters
home GSM networks.
•Sending log periodically. Device can be setup to send log with predefined time period
or at predefined daytime.
6.6 Different sending parameters for roaming
FoxLite device can use different sending parameters when roaming is detected. Using this
option, user will have much lower costs for sending data via GPRS when in roaming.
Following parameters can be setup to have different value in roaming:
•Send GPS position when in roaming,
•Maximum time period for position sending when in roaming,
•Minimum time period for position sending when in roaming,
•Minimum distance for position sending when in roaming,
•Minimum vehicle speed required for position sending when in roaming,
•Minimum direction change for position sending when in roaming,
•Maximum distance for position sending when in roaming,
•Configure auto command time when in roaming,
•Configure event sending option when in roaming,
•Loger mode when in roaming,
•Logger period when in roaming,
•Sending log daytime when in roaming.
6.7 External Alarm Function
External alarm function uses external alarm that is already built in the vehicle. External alarm
is connected to FoxLite device to the external alarm pin (see chapter 4.2 ). This input pin will
detect only impulses that last more than 2.5sec. When external alarm activates, it triggers
FoxLite input pin and device sends message to server or/and mobile phone.

FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual
15
To setup SMS alarm notification enter user phone numbers on first three positions in
phonebook: 1,+123... 2,+456... 3,+789..., and turn on SmsAlarm parameter using
FoxLiteConfigurator software.
6.8 Fuel Level Measurement
FoxLite device can measure fuel level in vehicle tank using fuel measurement sensor that is
already built in vehicle. In order to measure fuel level properly, device should be connected
and parametrized according to following instructions.
6.8.1 Selecting Position for connecting Fuel Measurement Pin
One of the best positions for connecting fuel measurement pin (see chapter 4.2 ) is directly on
fuel measuring sensor (i.e. buoy). The fuel measuring sensor wire is usually brought to
instrument board or it is connected to board computer of the vehicle. Since these positions are
usually closer to the position where FoxLite device is installed it is recomended to connect
them there.
6.8.2 Setting Parameters for FoxLite Device Fuel Measurement
DC voltage from the fuel-measuring instrument is proportional (or vice versa) to fuel level.
Device has built in attenuation module which could spread measuring range. Voltage lavels for
full and empty tank are advised to be within 0 to 24V. In order to set parameters for fuel
measurement it is necessary to identify:
•Input voltage range, in order to set proper attenuation using parametar Analog Input
Attenuation, which can be in range 0 to 100 in steps of 1.
FoxLite2.0 has uniqe algorithm for fuel measurement. It works well with continuous or
impulse signals, as long as average signal level depends on fuel level.
Be considered to measure precise input voltage range to set proper attenuation. Attenuation is
entered in percentage (0-means no atttenuation, 50 means 50% of attenuation). For proper
setup refer to the next table.
Maximum voltage on fuel input Attenuation, AIA [%]
max voltage less than 2.4V 0
<3.0V 20
<4.0V 40
<5.0V 50
<6.0V 60
<8.0V 70
<10.0V 76
<12.0V 80
<15.0V 84
<20.0V 88
<24.0V 90

FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual
16
In order to measure fuel, fuel signal should be connected to pin 5 of FoxLite2 device. Also
option 0should be selected for GPIO 3 Configuration and Fuel Measure Enable should be
enabled in configurator.
6.9 Engine RPM Measurement
Engine RPM measurement is performed by measuring frequency of pulses generated with each
rotation of the engine. Number of pulses per single rotation depends on the type of vehicle and
engine. It can be set through FoxLiteConfiguration progam in range from 1 to 100. Values 1.5
and 2.5, atc. are also allowed. Number of pulses per rotation is determined by measuring the
frequency on wire leading to FoxLite device when engine is running. When the measured
frequency(measured by multimeter or osciloskop) multiplies by 60 and then divides with
current RPM (read on vehicle RPM instrument) you have the number which is to be setup.
(RPMcoef=Fmeasured*60/RPMvehicle)
FoxLite RPM measuring frequency range is in range from 0 to 8KHz.
Device has built in hardware frequency divider and after setting up RMPcoef parametaer
device will be restarted. Change will be noticable 30-60s after device reset.
In order to RPM measurement functions properly, vehicle RPM signal must fulfill the
following conditions:
1. voltage VLmust be less than 0.8V (picture 2.)
2. voltage VHmust be more than 2.2V (picture 2.)
3. time intervals tHand tLmust be more than 62.5us (picture 2.).
In order to measure RPM, RPM signal should be connected to pin 6 of FoxLite2 device. Also
option 0should be selected for GPIO 4 Configuration in configurator.
6.8Accumulator under voltage detection
When device detects that accumulator voltage is 10% lower then the value specified in Vehicle
nominal power supply parameter, the Accumulator undervoltage event is generated. This event
will be sent to server for every 5 minutes while contact key (ignition) is on and only once when
contact is off.
Additionaly, device is supplied with over discharge protection circuit to protect vehicle's
battery from over discharging. Over discharge circuit is designed for vehicle power supply
12V, and can not be applied to 24V power supply.

6.9 Remote Parameter Setup
FoxLite parameters can be set up remotely. There are two different ways to accomplish
parameters change:
•from server, using GPRS,
•from cell phone, using SMS.
In cases using SMS, device accepts commands only from SIM card registered in the device as
Server phone number.
If you want to use server for remote parameter change, store command on server side and wait
for the device to read it. Device has procedure which periodically reads commands from server
using GPRS service (parameter AutoCommandTime). Every command read will cause new
socket connection and it is recommended to keep AutoCommandTime not to low. Voice call
from server phone number will initiate instant command read. Command format for parameter
update is given in chapters 10 .
6.10 Remote Executive Commands
Device is able to execute remote commands from server (sent by GPRS) or from server phone
number (sent by SMS). Here is possible list of actions see chapter 10 for details:
•remote firmware update,
•activate/deactivate device outputs,
•send position and vehicle status on demand (instant sending independent of logging
mode and roaming status),
•restore parameters from SIM card,
•reset the device,
•read device parameters,
•read device debug information.
•read device log file
•delete device log file
6.11 Backup Device Parameters on SIM Card
SIM card in FoxLite can be used for parameter back up. If there is need for device replacement,
parameters can be transmitted from device to device using SIM card. Parameter back up in SIM
card is performed on any successful parameter change through menu or by remote command.
Parameters can be restored (copied from SIM) to device using device menu or remotely using
RSS: command.
6.12 Remote Firmware Update
Firmware in FoxLite can be remotely updated. Firmware can be updated while device is in
regular operating conditions. During that time device stops with regular work.
Firmware updating procedure can be initiated by command from Server or from Server Phone
Number. Device's parameter will not be changed after performing remote firmware update. In
case new firmware is using new parameter (one that did not exist in previous firmware
version), one will be created and set to default value.
Time for firmware update is between 2 and 5min depending on GPRS signal quality and size of
files that had to be downloaded from update server.

10 – firmware successfully updated
20 – error during firmware update or firmware is already updated
60 – error using GPRS service
6.13 Data Formats
Device can be configured to use one of two public sending protocols for sending data to server:
•binary, communication protocol code 1
•XML, communication protocol code 2
If you need more information about these two protocols contact Fox technical support and refer
to document FoxCommunicationProtocol.doc.
Communication protocol codes 3-6 are for internal use.
If you are using complete Geneko solution FoxLite devices are already set to proper protocol,
which is not to be changed.
6.14 Advanced Power Save Option
Power save function is designed to reduce power consumption of the device when the vehicle
is not in use. After parking the vehicle (after contact key is switched off) device will go to
power save mode. Power consumption in this mode can be less than 10mA if internal battery
doesn’t need to be charged and if both modules (GPRS and GPS) are turned off. In power save
mode device doesn't send any records using GPRS but GSM receiver is in stand by mode
allowing reception of incoming voice calls and SMS messages.
There are 4 parameters to be setup for Power Save mode:
•Power Save on/off. According to value of this parameter, Power Save function can be
disabled or enabled. If disabled, device will newer go to Power Save, and it will
operate in normal operating mode all the time. If enabled, device will go to Power
Save mode in predefined time from switching contact key (ignition) off. When
contact key is switched on, device will exit Power Save mode and enter normal
operating mode in approx. 7sec.
•GPS module power save option. GPS receiver in power save mode can either be
turned off or kept running. If turned on receiver keeps constant receiving GPS
position and as soon as device exits power save mode, new valid position will be
available. Otherwise it takes approx. 42sec (average) for GPS receiver to receive first
valid GPS position. If GPS receiver is turn off during power save, power
consumption would be significantly less then if kept running.
•Power Save time. Device will go to Power Save mode after contact key (ignition) off
and when time defined by this parameter expired.
•Power Save wake-up time. FoxLite device can be set up to wake-up periodically.
After wake-up, device will send one WDT start (event 11) and one position (event 0)
message. Device will return to power save mode 5min after wake-up. If 0min is setup
for wake-up time, device will not wake up periodically.

6.15 Optimal GSM network selection
FoxLite device is equipped with algorithm for optimal GSM network selection in roaming. It is
optimized by sending price. This feauture to be available, one must supply full list of roaming
partners with price lists for desirabla SIM card to the RB GeneralEkonomik. The RB
GeneralEkonomik support team will use this information to develop netlist file for desired SIM
card which can be uploaded to FoxLite device remotely. Once netlist file is uploaded device
will start using optimal algorithm for GSM network selection. Netlist file can be updated as
soon as new information about GSM provider price lists is available. Netlist file allowes to
mark certain GSM providers as white (use this provide wherever possible), black (not use this
provider, unless no other is available but not use GPRS chanel), neutral (use this provider
wherever white network is unavailable).Currently netlist for networks 22003 and 22001 are
available for uploading.
6.16 Panic taster
Any GPI pin can be configured to be panic taster. Two parameter need to be configured: GPIO
X Configuration must be set to 1, and GP Input_X pin Event Code must be set to 1070. See
chapter 12 for details about panic button installation.
6.17 SMS notification
This feature allowes device to send SMS notification to predifined phone in different situations.
SMS notification numbers are first three numbers in phone book marked as 1,+****, 2,+****,
3,+****. Situations when device send SMS notification are:
•SMS GPS position on call. After receiving a voice call from registered phone number
(phone book numbers starting with 1-100). FoxLite replies with SMS including GPS
data.
•SMS alarm notification. When alarm event occurred, device would send SMS
notification to three predefined phone numbers.
•SMS panic notification. When panic button event occurred, device would send SMS
notification to three predefined phone numbers.

7 Device Connection in vehicle
7.1 Device and GPS Antenna Position Selection
FoxLite device should be built in vehicle on place where is normal humidity, no heat sources
and no moving parts near device which could demage device cassing, GPS antenna and main
connector/cable. Device should be attached to vehicle using plastic clamps.
GSM antenna is built-in FoxLite device. Therefore, device should be placed on position where
GSM signal will not be unacceptably reduced. If this is not possible, optional external GSM
antenna should be used.
GPS antenna must be placed into horizontal position, i.e. the antenna upper surface has to face
the sky. The material over the GPS antenna have not to be metal, since this would reduce or
completely degrade GPS signal quality. The best position for installing GPS antena is under
plastic parts of instrument table, the closest possible to the surface.
7.2 Main Power Supply Connection
For main power supply, vehicle accumulator voltage is connected to corresponding pin of the
main cable (see chapter 4.2 ). Since there is 3A fuse inside FoxLite device, it is not necessary
to connect power supply through some of the vehicle fuses (it can be coonected directly on
accumulator + end). FoxLite device is designed for operation with accumulator voltages of 12V
and 24V.
Ground i.e. another conductor for power supply from the main connector (see chapter 4.2 )
should be connected to accumulator negative end. (or vehicle metal chassis if it is connected to
ground).
Note: when performing this action all precaution measures should be taken so that
accumulator positive end does not cause short circuit with metal chassis of the vehicle.
7.3 Input and Output Connection
FoxLite has up to 6 digital inputs. Signals from the switches or other digital signals actuators in
the vehicle can be connected directly to them. Digital inputs can sustain voltage in range from -
100V to +100V.
FoxLite has up to 2 digital outputs. Both of them are multiplexed with digital input pins. One
digital output is designed as positive driven pin (it gives positive voltage equal to accumulator
voltage when turned on, or it is in high impedance state when turned off). Second digital output
is designed as negative driven pin (it connects to the ground when turned on, or it is in high
impedance state when turned off). Both digital output pins are fused with 200mA current
capacity fuses with autorecovery. For larger consumers additional relays should be used on
output pins.
FoxLite has up to 1 analog input. If selected, this input is used for tank fuel quantity
measurement.
