Scope
This document is a user manual for the TXL1G2-3 tracking device.
Description
The TXL1G2-3 Tracker is a self contained, expandable, integrated commercial grade
vehicle tracking device that uses GPS satellite location in combination with a quad band
(Optional:850MHz & 1900MHz or 900MHz & 1800MHz) GSM/GPRS cellular radio
connection to report that location. TXL1G2-3 is optimized for reliability, cost and size.
However, it remains highly flexible and capable of addressing diverse and specialized
requirements through a novel expansion arrangement.
All antennas including the GPS patch and GSM antenna are internal to the device. Data
reporting can be initiated by a command center or by the tracker itself via GSM/GPRS,
SMS or UDP pathways.
The TXL1G2-3 is unique in that it is intrinsically expandable. A screw fastened
expansion door secures SIM card access.
The TXL1G2-3 has a embedded lithium battery, the battery has 60mAh capacity .
The TXL1G2-3 is based on chip level design. The application software executes on the
base level Central Processing Unit (CPU) under direct Operating System (OS) control.
This approach provides a much more reliable, lower power and faster response than
module/processor architectures. Unlike in common module/processor based designs; the
ION2.2 design allows direct operating system access by the application, thus mitigating
the need for a redundant external processor.
For added redundancy against system lockup, a physically separate, dedicated watchdog
chip oversees the TXL1G2-3 system operation. If the system does not maintain the
watchdog chip through programmed reporting, the system power is cycled and a new
satellite and cellular connection is established.
The ION2.2 Tracker can be provisioned for UDP and SMS data services for both
application command and data transactions within the 850 & 1900 or 900 & 1800 MHz
GSM bands. Network provisioning is done with standard SIM cards. For added
safeguard against network connection loss, a hardware ION2.2 endpoint reset and reboot
can be initiated by simply calling the provisioned phone number and allowing it to ring
three times.
Flexible I/O includes 2 bidirectional General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) ports. A
separate dedicated two wire UART port is provided for general use as well as
development and programming support. A high current relay drive is provided for starter
motor relay control or general purpose drive (current sink only).
The power input, ground and GPIO signals that are present on the main 7 pin external
vehicle connector are also available on the 7 pin internal expansion connector. On the
internal connector, there is also a unique battery supply pin that supports connection of a
rechargeable battery.

Over The Air (OTA) application firmware updates are supported through at TFTP
connection to a server. The entire image can be updated using one simple command.
All inputs are electrically hardened against overvoltage and over current conditions
present in automotive environments. This includes transient electrical noise and Electro
Static Discharge (ESD). The power input is further protected against over current with
an internal, self resetting fuse.
The TXL1G2-3 enclosure and its features are secured using M2 sized metal fasteners for
rugged mechanical performance. .
The TXL1G2-3 is physically disguised to appear to be a nondescript part of the cabling
system. It is a small black box with unremarkable features. Two LED status indicators
are provided to verify correct installation and initial operation. A unique power
management feature allows these LEDs to be extinguished once installation is verified to
be correct. This feature reduces power and further conceals the ION2.2 Tracker from
untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation.
The TXL1G2-3 Tracker uses a simple cabling arrangement and supports splicing into an
OBDII extension for power. Connection to the vehicle is made through a 3mm pitch
rectangular header connection common to the automotive market.
As with all GPS location devices, the ION should be installed in a vehicle such that it has
an unobstructed view of the sky during normal operation. Double sided foam tape can be
used to secure the surface not facing the sky if needed.
Physical Attributes
Figure 3 shows various views of the ION2.2 Tracker and its critical physical features.
For absolute locations of these features, the 3D CAD models should be referenced.
