1Introduction
Cellocator CR100 is the first of its kind product, which serves as a complementary for
the CR family and comes equipped with features such as BLE 4.2, GNSS, LTE (CAT-1)
cellular communication, accelerometer and LED indicators.
The CR100 has a smaller design, IP67 protection, and includes a built-in, non-
removable harness.
1.1 Document Scope
The document describes the high-level system features and capabilities of the CR100
new platform. This document does not deal with the protocols and interfaces between
the CR100 device and the SW backend, nor with the low-level algorithms, state
machines and logic engine implemented to deliver a complete remote diagnostics and
enhanced driver behavior system. These protocols, APIs, algorithms, and state
machines are described in separate documentation, as listed in the following sections.

Figure 1: CR-100 I/O’s
2.3.1 Input and Output
The CR-100™supports the following I/O’s:
1. Two GPIOs: Can be used as digital Input or Output dry contact. 250 mA, 30V max.
2. Two Multipurpose Inputs:
•Analog inputs: 0-30V
•Discrete Dry Input: Sink to GND
•Discrete “Wet” Input: 0-30V range, configurable threshold
3. Ignition Switch: Can be used as Analog or ignition Input: 0V–30V
NOTE: When connecting 12V to a GPIO programmed as an output, the port is
likely to be damaged. Therefore, when programming the port as output, first
validate that no voltage is connected.
2.4 Harness Pinout and Functionalities
The harness pinout is as follows:

3Product Features (Partial list)
The main features, settings and capabilities include the following:
•Crash Detection
•Driver Behavior
•Odometer
•Jamming Detection (advanced)
•Tilt Tamper
•Geo-Fences
•Towed mode
•Immobilization
•Driver authentication (1-wire port)
The configuration file (PL) structure is like other Cellocator products as well as some of
the features. Please refer to Cellocator Programming Manual document detailing the
features supported by the CR-100™and its configurations.
3.1 Enhanced Location Technology (Optional)
The CR-100™includes efficient location technology which enhances and complements
stand-alone GNSS performance by integrating information of mobile network cells, as
well as Wi-Fi access points (APs) particularly in challenging environments, such as in
urban canyons, indoor areas, underground parking lots, or when GNSS signals are
jammed or intermittent.
This enhanced location service offered by Cellocator can be applied for secure device
positioning without using any additional hardware or software.
This service is not currently implemented, and additional costs may apply for this
service.
3.2 LED Indicators
The CR-100™contains dual color LED (Green and RED), which provides the
Installer/user proper indications that the unit is working properly during installation,
without the need for external equipment.
The following table displays the LED states:
Figure 2: LED States

CR-100™Product Overview
CR-100™Product Overview Page 10 of 16

LED does not work in the following conditions:
•CR100 is in Hibernation \Deep hibernation mode.
•CR100 working from the internal battery.
•Disabled by PL
LED starts working after the following self-test is completed:
•Communication with Modem\Memory\Accelerometer
•Communication test with SIM card.
When activated, the LED indicates the current unit status. if the unit loses Cellular
communication, it will indicate accordingly.
3.3 Mobile App integration (Optional)
The CR-100™allow serial over BLE communication with the external device.
Customers may benefit from this capability by implementing it within their mobile app
for setup, configuration, monitor, or troubleshoot the device.
Note: the connection is not secured.

4Release Package Content
4.1 Evaluation Tools
Each firmware release includes a set of software tools (windows), which enable the
client to run an initial appraisal and testing process of Cellocator units, without
requiring connection to an actual vehicle during testing.
Our present customers should only upgrade the software on their machines.
After installation is completed, you should be able to explore in the Windows start
menu, all the available utilities under the Cellocator folder as depicted below:
Figure 4: Cellocator Program Folder (Windows)
the next sections will provide information on two of the applications: the Programmer
and the Communication Center.
4.1.1 Cellocator Programmer
The Cellocator Programmer enables you to perform the following:
•Modify a PL file to suit your communication needs.
•Upload and download PL files to Cellocator units via its serial interface.
•Test and debug units using a variety of features, including a platform manifest, the
ability to test a unit’s inputs and outputs, and the ability to forward data to a
wireless channel.
The Cellocator Programmer is mainly used for the initial configuration of a unit, and
typically communication settings such as the destination IP address, target port
phone, and SMS numbers.

4.1.2 Communication Center
The CR-100™supports the use of the Communication Center tool. The Communication
Center performs the following:
•Receives, parses and monitors cellular data and SMS messages.
•Sends commands through cellular or SMS communications.
•Interrogates the unit to get the current location (in text format) and the unit status
(inputs, outputs, GPS data, etc.).
•Receives and monitors emergency transmissions from the unit (input triggering).
•Controls the unit’s outputs. Programs the unit’s behavior OTA (by changing the
unit’s EEPROM content).
•Upgrades the unit firmware.
4.2 Cellocator+
The Cellocator+ System is a web-based application that enables Cellocator’s
customers to perform configuration and firmware updates to Cellocator devices and
view the status of these updates in real time and through reports via an intuitive
interface.
The Cellocator+ System supports customers wishing to directly view and modify their
device information. The user can request displays of device data and status and
configuration management and can perform configuration updates by attaching PL
(Programming Library) files or firmware versions to a device or set of devices while the
system manages the programming session.
The Cellocator+ System has several important features and benefits, including:
•Provides Cellocator customers with all major provisioning tools at the click of a
mouse.
•Eliminates the need for all customers to maintain provisioning tools in their
systems.
•Reduces time to market for new customers.
•Provides reports on update history (to be implemented in future versions).
•Cellocator+ manages the whole device management process.
•Customers can view updated statuses in real-time through the Web.
4.3 Integration Package
The Cellocator’s Gateway is a set of SW components offered to Cellocator’s customers
wishing to integrate the Cellocator OTA protocol into their production environment.
Customers using the Gateway benefit from a quicker and easier integration process
and are also entitled to software upgrades, technical support and more. the Gateway is
a multi-platform solution and can run on Windows or selected Linux OS. The
integration package provides high availability and load balancing options, as well as
enabling clients the opportunity to integrate and start working with Cellocator’s units
without investing a large amount of time and resources.
