6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Installation
6.1.1 Please ensure the installation is performed by a qualified and experienced
technician. Rewire Security does not accept liability for any damages caused
due to incorrect installation.

8
6.1.2 On first installation, do not site your device in its final position. Start with
just setting up your device by installing the sim card, connecting GPS & GSM
antennas and leaving it in a location with uninterrupted view of the sky. Once
your 103-RS is switched on and ready to use, test the functions you would like
to use and finally install it to its final position.
6.1.3 Do not install this device in places where it is likely to be exposed to
excessive heat, water or dust.
6.1.4 Find the 10 PIN harness and insert it into the corresponding holes.
Connect the wires with the original car circuit showing below:
The white cable with black line is for the ultrasonic fuel sensor and can be
discarded. User manual and installation guide for the ultrasonic fuel sensor are
supplied separately upon purchase.

9
Wiring diagram
6.1.5 Note: The orange wire should be connected to the siren (optional),
however, it can also be connected to your vehicle's horn .
6.1.6 Check if the type of your vehicle's door trigger is positive or negative
trigger. Please connect the green wire to the door control circuit if it is
positive, and connect the blue wire if it is negative.
6.1.7 If you wish to use the reset and SOS button, install it where the driver can
easily reach.
6.1.8 Insert the shock sensor plug (RS+ model, optional) into the sensor jack
6.1.9 Insert the external Microphone into the microphone jack and place the
microphone to your desired location.
6.1.10 Connect the GPS and GSM antenna to the corresponding connector. Find
an appropriate place and fix the antennas. Under the front dashboard is
the most ideal location to fit the antennas. Thick metal surfaces (e.g.
bonnet) will degrade the GPS signal and reduce accuracy. Therefore,
antennas should be installed under or as close as possible to windows,
windscreen or plastic surfaces.
6.1.11 If you wish to use the remote immobilizing function, the circuit breaker
relay unit must be installed to the cable that provides +12v power to your
fuel pump. Please do this by cutting the 12+ fuel pump wire and installing
the relay unit in between. The thick red wire should be connected to 12+
power side (usually coming from the fusebox) and the thick yellow wire
should be connected to the fuel pump side. This way the power circuit to

10
your fuel pump will be completed through the circuit breaker relay unit.
The thin yellow wire that goes to the relay unit from your tracker is the
relay control switch. The thin white cable on the relay unit must be
connected to 12+ to power the relay unit.
6.2 SIM CARD Installation
6.2.1 Use tweezers or a screwdriver to push the SIM CARD ejector switch, the
SIM CARD slot will pop up. Remove the sim card tray and install your
sim card. Now you can install the sim card tray back to its position.
6.2.2 Ensure that your SIM card has been activated and the PIN code request is
disabled. If you are using a contract sim card and would like to use GPRS
(live) tracking, make sure your SIM card's internet is enabled.
Ensure that caller id display is enabled on your phone as 103-RS will not be
able to respond to messages or calls from private numbers.
6.3 Turn on the 103-RS
6.3.1 Connect the positive(red) and negative (black) wire to 12v or 24v power
source, wait for 1 minute after connecting power to make sure 103-RS is
operating normal, then turn on the backup battery switch.
6.4 GSM/GPS LED Indicator
6.4.1 Red LED indicator on: No GSM network signal.
6.4.2 Fast flashing Red LED : GSM Network signal is good and 103-RS is
working in GSM mode
6.4.3 Slow flashing Red LED : GSM Network signal is good and the 103-RS is
working in GPRS mode.

11
6.4.4 Green LED indicator on: GPS fix is established.
6.4.5 Green LED indicator off: GPS module is searching for satellite signal.
6.5 Initialization
Note: When reading this manual, you will notice that we have used "+"
and "space" between some words;
"+" between two words means they should be written together as one
word and "space" between two words means you should leave one
character space between two words. Commands are written in this
format to avoid errors as some commands may consist of few words
written as one word or separated by a space.
e.g.: sleep+123456+space+shock - This command should be sent
to 103-RS as following : sleep123456 shock
6.6 Changing your tracker's password
6.6.1 Send SMS "password+old password+space+new password" to
103-RS to change the password. e.g password123456 888888 . 103-RS will
reply: “password OK”. If you forget your password, you can restore it to the
default password using the command adminpassword13142324
Please note that you only need to change your password if you intend to
share your 103-RS's phone number with third parties and do not wish to give
them access to its settings.
Example : password123456 99999
Response: password OK

12
6.7 Authorization
4.1 You have to add your phone number as the authorized number if you wish to
receive any alerts or scheduled reports. If you only wish to use this device for
tracking via SMS or GPRS, you can skip the authorization process.
Authorization can be done in two different ways:
4.2 A: Dial 103-RS's phone number 10 times from your mobile phone and it
will register your mobile phone number as the authorized number automatically.
Please note that each time you dial it, the 103-RS will hang your call after 2
seconds and reply with a location SMS message.
4.3 B: Send SMS “admin+password+space+phone number” to set up an
authorized number. All the other authorized numbers must be set by the first
authorized number. You will receive “admin OK” reply once the command
has been executed.
Example: admin123456 07776665554
Response: admin OK
Depending on make / model of your phone, you may after switching the ignition
off need to authorize your phone number with the country code. If you notice
you do not get any alarms or text reports after calling your tracker, please
authorize your phone number including the country code as shown below ;
Example: admin123456 [phone]
Response: admin OK
Please note that when entering in international format, the first 0 of your phone
number should be dropped. So 07776665544 should be entered as
[phone] in international format.

13
Once a number is authorized, 103-RS will only respond to SMS single
locating phone calls from the authorized number. However, it will still respond
to commands send from any phone number as long as the correct password is
entered. If you notice that 103-RS is not responding with an SMS after you call
it's phone number, this is very likely to be caused by an error in authorization.
When that's the case, you can revert 103-RS to factory defaults by sending
begin123456 command or check the command you have sent for
authorization and retry it again with the correct format.
4.4 Delete authorization: Send SMS “noadmin+password+space+authorized
4.5 number” to delete the authorized number.
Example: noadmin123456 [phone]
Response: noadmin ok
6.8 Easy SMS Text Message Locating
If there aren't any authorized numbers set-up, 103-RS will reply to all calls
with a location report. If there are authorized numbers set-up, only authorized
numbers will be able to receive location reports from 103-RS.
The SMS text message will include co-ordinates, current speed, time and
date. It will also contain a direct Google Map link for smartphone users.
Once you click on the link, it will instantly open up Google Map for you to see
the location of your vehicle.

14
*If you request your 103-RS's location when it
does not have sufficient GPS signal, it will
respond with text message but will not contain
any co-ordinates. Once it acquires enough GPS
signal it will send another text message with its
latest co-ordinates.
If the SMS position you have
received from your 103-RS starts with "last", this means it does not have a
current GPS fix and the position you have received is from the last location
where it had a GPS fix.
6.9 Interval Tracking
103-RS can send automatic location reports at preset intervals. If SMS mode is
active, reports will be sent as SMS text messages. If GPRS tracking mode is
active, location report updates will be uploaded to the online tracking server.
6.9.2 Continuous interval tracking:
Send SMS “fix030s***n+password” to the 103-RS, it will reply the
latitude & longitude continuously at 30 seconds fixed intervals.
Note: Minimum interval setting is 10s.
Example: fix030s***n123456
Please note that you will not get a response for this message.
6.9.3 Smart interval tracking:
6.9.3.1 Please set "Continuous interval tracking" before selecting this function.
Send "distance+password+space+distance". 103-RS will reply "Distance

15
ok" and it will start uploading its location at pre selected time intervals and
distance.
Example: distance123456 0050
Response: distance OK
This means that distance is 50 meters; the number must be 4 digits. This will
configure the 103-RS to send its location every 50 meters.
6.9.3.2 To set this function on web server: Set time interval first and then
distance interval, 103-RS will locate upon time and distance.
6.9.4 To cancel interval tracking : Send SMS “nofix+password” to 103-RS to
cancel the interval tracking.
Example: nofix123456
6.10 Automatic position updating with movement angle
7.1 103-RS will update the positions automatically to the web server once the
vehicle changes driving direction over pre set angle value to form a smooth
trajectory consistent with the actual road. This function is only effective in
GPRS mode.
7.2 Send "angle+password+space+angle" to 103-RS, it will reply" angle ok".
7.3 The angle must be 3 digits, default angle value is 30 degrees.
Example: angle123456 45
Response: angle ok

16
6.11 GPS drift suppression
GPS signal can be effected with many factors like weather and location.
Surrounding buildings or trees can reduce GPS signal strength. Clouds also
degrade the signal and the locating accuracy may drop, causing your 103-RS to
show up in different locations in a 50 meter radius time to time. If you are using
live (GPRS) tracking you may notice your 103-RS doing 20-50meter jumps on
your map when the vehicle is actually stationary. GPS drift suppression is used
to avoid this. When activated, 103-RS will stop sending GPRS data to live
tracking server when the ignition is OFF. GPRS drift suppression also helps
with sim card economy as the GPRS mobile data will only be used while the
vehicle is moving.
8.1 This function is switched "OFF" by default. Send "suppress+password" to
103-RS to activate, it will reply" suppress drift ok". The GPS data will stop
updating if the vehicle is stationary. GPS data will update automatically once
vehicle starts moving. Please note that the ACC (ignition) detection wire (white)
on your tracker should be connected for this function to work.
Example: suppress123456
Response: suppress ok
8.2 To cancel: send "nosuppress+password" to 103-RS.
Example : nosuppress123456
6.12 Exact street address by SMS
You must set the APN of your GSM network provider for the SIM card used
in 103-RS before using this function. If your local GSM network requires

17
user name and password for GPRS, please set it up according to the GPRS
instructions in chapter VII. Send SMS “address+password” to 103-RS after
APN has been set up and it will reply in exact address including street name.
Example: address123456
Response: 20a Park street, clifton, bristol, bs1 5ja
6.13 Location based service (LBS)
If 103-RS is unable to establish a solid GPS fix, it will calculate its location
using Cell-id info. Location reports will include the GPS co-ordinates of the
last known position as well as a LAC code. Entering the LAC code to the
"Manual Track" menu of your web tracking platform will enable you to see
103-RS's current location. You can also send command "address+password"
to 103-RS to request exact address. 103-RS will automatically switch to
tracking by LBS in GPRS mode. Accuracy of LBS (also known as Cell-id
tracking) depends on the distance to the nearest GSM Network Cell Tower
or Base Station. In urban areas this accuracy varies between 25-100 meters.
6.14 Voice surveillance
103-RS is in Tracking mode by default. When voice surveillance mode is
activated, it will automatically answer incoming calls rather than replying with
its location information.
To activate the monitor mode, send SMS "monitor+password" to 103-RS.
It will reply "monitor ok" and switch to "monitor" mode.
Example: monitor123456
Response: monitor OK

18
Do not forget to switch back to tracker mode once you have finished using
the voice surveillance. When 103-RS is in monitor mode it will stop updating its
position and it will shut the GPS module "OFF". To change back to tracker
mode use command "tracker+password"
Example: tracker123456
Response: tracker OK
6.15 Data logging
15.1 Auto logging：If 103-RS loses GSM or GPRS signal, it can store the
tracking position and alerts automatically on to the flash drive upon the
pre-set conditions. When GSM signal is acquired, all the event alerts will
be auto-sent to authorized numbers and the live tracking server.
15.2 Logging at preset intervals: Send SMS: “save030s005n+password” to
103-RS, it will reply “save ok”, and will log the lat, long locations every
30 seconds for 5 times. (S: second, m: minute; h: hour).
Example: save030s005n123456
Response: save ok
15.3 Continuous logging：Send SMS:”save030s***n+password” to 103-RS, it
will reply “save ok”.
Example: save030s***n123456
Response: save ok
15.4 Logging Clearance: send SMS: “clear+password” to 103-RS, it will reply
“clear ok”.
Example: clear123456
Response: clear ok

19
15.5 Logging Volume: Built-in flash 1MB (store about 16,000 positions). This
volume can be expanded by using a Micro SD card which can be inserted into
slot provided. Please refer to section 3.3 to see where micro SD card needs to
be inserted.
A 2GB card would be sufficient for up to 10 months.
15.6 Data logging function also enables you to use your 103-RS as a GPS
logger. You can download the location data to your PC by using the free
PC software provided, through USB connection.
6.16 Data upload
16.1 Auto Upload: If there is no GSM reception, 103-RS will save all GPS data
to its built-in memory and upload this information to the live tracking server
automatically when the GSM reception is back to normal. This way tracking
data won't get lost while driving through areas with no or low GSM reception.
If you do not wish to use this feature, you can turn it "OFF" by sending the SMS
command "autoload+password+space+off"
Example: autoload123456 off
Response: autoload off OK
16.2 Specified date Load：Send SMS: “load+password+space+year month
date” to 103-RS. It will reply: “load ok” and will upload the tracking data
of the specified time/date.
Example: load123456 20110425
Response: load ok

20
6.17 Forwarding received SMS messages
17.1 103-RS can forward incoming messages from pre-set phone numbers . To
activate this function, send "forward+password+space+third party phone
number" from an authorised phone number. 103-RS will reply "forward
ok", and start forwarding SMS messages coming from that number. Only
one number can be set-up for SMS forwarding.
Example: forward123456 07776665544
Response: forward ok
17.2 To cancel SMS forwarding send SMS command "noforward+password".
Example: noforward123456
Response: no forward ok
6.18 SIM card balance check
Send SMS command "balance+password+space+carrier’s phone
number+space+code" to the tracker, it will forward the content to the
specified phone number and return the content from the specified phone
number.
Example: balance123456 0262 check
Ps: This function assumes that the GSM Network provider has the option
where you can check your Sim Card’s balance by sending a command to a
specific number; which is 0262 in this example.
