1. Introduction
The GL505 is a powerful GPS tracker designed for fixed asset tracking applications. It is powered
by user replaceable CR123A lithium battery pack. Configuration allows it to wake up on a preset
schedule to check if it needs to shift from dormant to active status and/or send update of its
current location, and then return to a dormant state. Optimally configured, it will operate
autonomously for 1800 days. Its built-in 3-axis accelerometer allows the GL505 to detect asset
movement and transmit an alert message. The integrated @Track interface protocol allows the
GL505 to communicate with a customer mobile phone or a backend server via GPRS/SMS and
transfer reports like GPS position. System integrators can easily incorporate the GL505 into
existing tracking systems based on this full featured protocol.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
