1Product Description
1.1 Overview
This document is the official user manual for the SEAL Wearable GPS Tracker designed and developed
by Tektelic Communications, henceforth referred to as SEAL/SEAL-Ex.
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex is a light, small factor, long battery lifetime, low-cost LoRaWAN sensor used for
tracking people (as a wearable device) or equipment, based on GNSS and BLE technologies. The
SEAL/SEAL-Ex comes both as an ATEX/IECEx certified version (henceforth referred to as SEAL-Ex),
certified to operate in potentially hazardous and explosive atmospheres, and as a regular non-
ATEX/IECEx version (henceforth referred to as SEAL).
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex uses Semtech SX1261 modem for LoRaWAN communication, and a low-power, IoT
targeted MCU, STM32 from STMicroelectronics with built-in BLE module, 256 kB of RAM, and 512 kB of
flash. Other hardware features include a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver from u-blox (MAX-M10S), a low
power 3-axis MEMS accelerometer from STMicroelectronics (LIS3DH), and a digital barometric air
pressure sensor from Infineon (DPS310). There is also a push button used as an emergency/SOS/panic
button, 1 buzzer (GT-0601A from Soberton Inc.) to locally indicate the emergency button (EB) press or
safety hook (SH) disconnection, 1 mute button (MB) to manually mute (disable) or unmute (enable) the
buzzer, and 2 sets of LEDs, 1 at the top 1 and one at the front, to indicate emergency status, low battery,
and the system going into or out of DEEP SLEEP, are among other features.
Table 1-1: SEAL Wearable GPS Tracker Model
Each of the ATEX/IECEx certified and the non- ATEX/IECEx versions have two functional variants: with
and without a safety clip harness. The safety clip harness detects whether a safety hook is placed on
the unit or not, triggering a local alarm if the user is to be warned.

1.3 Transducer Details
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex is equipped with a number of different transducers. A general overview of the
transducers is given below.
1. GNSS: The SEAL/SEAL-Ex uses the MAX-M10S module for GNSS localization and other GNSS-
related features such as GNSS danger zone and GNSS datalogging. The MAX-M10S is a low
power, high precision module that supports concurrent receptions of up to four GNSS
constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The high number of visible satellites
enables the receiver to select the best signals. This maximizes the position availability, in
particular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban canyons. The typical and
maximum accuracies of the GNSS position fixes for the SEAL/SEAL-Ex is listed below
a. Position accuracy (50% CEP): 2.5m
1
b. Time to first fix: Cold start: 1-minute, Hot start: 5s
2. BLE: The SEAL/SEAL-Ex’s MCU is an ultra-low power IoT targeted module with in-built support
for Bluetooth low energy SIG 5.2 technology. The SEAL/SEAL-Ex ONLY supports the use of this
technology as a TRACKER. This means that the SEAL/SEAL-Ex can track and discover BLE devices
nearby, but it can’t be discovered by other BLE trackers. By default, the BLE scanning
functionality of the SEAL/SEAL-Ex is disabled. However, this can easily be changed by sending
a simple OTA command to enable the BLE mode. The SEAL/SEAL-Ex can track and report up to
128 devices per scan.
3. Accelerometer: The SEAL/SEAL-Ex has a 3-axis MEMS digital accelerometer (LIS3DH) for motion
detection to wake the device up from inactivity sleep, and free-fall detection. The LIS3DH is an
ultra-low-power high performance three-axis linear accelerometer belonging to the “nano”
family, with digital I2C/SPI serial interface standard output. The device features ultra-low-power
operational modes that allow advanced power saving and smart embedded functions. The
LIS3DH has dynamically user-selectable full scales of 2g/±4g/8g/16g and is capable of
measuring accelerations with output data rates from 1 Hz to 5.3 kHz.
4. Barometer: The SEAL/SEAL-Ex has an onboard barometer from Infineon (DPS310) used for
measuring barometric pressure and temperature. The DPS310 is a miniaturized Digital
1
Calculated from 6 hours of continuous multi-constellation fixes in static open and clear sky.

Barometric Air Pressure Sensor with a high accuracy and a low current consumption, capable of
measuring both pressure and temperature. The pressure sensor element is based on a
capacitive sensing principle which guarantees high precision during temperature changes. The
typical and maximum accuracies specified across the operating relative humidity and
temperature range of the sensor are listed below
a. Operation range: Pressure: 300 –1200 hPa, temperature: -40 –85 °C
b. Pressure sensor precision: ± 0.002 hPa (or ±0.02 m) (high precision mode).
c. Relative accuracy: ± 0.06 hPa (or ±0.5 m)
d. Absolute accuracy: ± 1 hPa (or ±8 m)
e. Temperature accuracy: ± 0.5°C.
5. Current Sense Resistor: The SEAL/SEAL-EX features a current sense resistor that continuously
monitor and record the system current usage and use this information to compute the
remaining battery lifetime of the unit.

2Installation
2.1 Included Product and Installation Material
The following items are shipped with each Tracker:
•SEAL/SEAL-Ex in a ruggedized IP67 enclosure with two LID AA batteries and three LID batteries
installed for ATEX and non-ATEX versions respectively. The Tracker comes with a belt and
harness clip for clipping the SEAL to overalls, harness or hard hat.
2.2 Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions should be observed:
•Use only LID cells.
•Should the SEAL/SEAL-Ex be opened and powered externally, do not exceed the maximum
specified terminal voltages –3v for ATEX versions and 4.5v for non-ATEX versions
•All installation practices must be in accordance with the local and national electrical codes.
2.3 Unpacking and Inspection
The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new SEAL/SEAL-Ex:
•Inspect the shipping carton and report any significant damage to TEKTELIC.
•Unpacking should be conducted in a clean and dry location.
•Do not discard the shipping box or inserts as they will be required if a unit is returned for repair
or re-configuration.
2.4 Commissioning and Activation
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex is shipped in closed enclosure with the batteries installed and engaged. However, the
SEAL/SEAL-Ex is in a state of DEEP SLEEP where it draws infinitesimal current, until it is woken up
(activated) by a button pattern.
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex does not need to get opened for activation. Assuming that the SEAL/SEAL-Ex has
been commissioned on the NS using the commissioning info provided with the SEAL/SEAL-Ex, use the
button pattern to wake up the Tracker as listed below. A button press is achieved by pressing the mute
button and feeling a click. A mute button release is achieved by releasing the mute button.
Here are the steps required to activate the button pattern:
1. Press the mute button for 1s, then release the mute button.
2. Press the mute button for at least 3 sec but less than 10 sec, then release the mute button.

SEAL/SEAL-Ex Wearable GPS Tracker User Guide
T0007705_UG
Version 0.3
TEKTELIC Communications Inc.
Page 14 of 21
As soon as the specified mute button press is applied to the SEAL/SEAL-Ex, the SEAL/SEAL-Ex wakes up
from the DEEP-SLEEP state and tries to join the network. See Section 4.3 for the expected LED behaviour
of the Tracker during the join process. It may take about 5 sec from the SEAL/SEAL-Ex wake-up to seeing
the LED activity showing join attempts.
Note that the specified button press pattern always triggers a module reset, even during normal
operation. The mute button is located on the base of all the SEAL/SEAL-Ex variants as shown below.
Figure 2-1: SEAL/SEAL-Ex with clip showing the mute button.
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex can be put into DEEP SLEEP at anytime by applying the pattern described above while
the device is trying to join the network (this is indicated by rapid flashing of the top LEDs). If put to DEEP
SLEEP, the SEAL/SEAL-Ex can be woken up (re-activated) again using the same procedure explained
above. Removing and reinserting the batteries can also reset the SEAL/SEAL-Ex.
Note: Removing and replacing the batteries of the SEAL/SEAL-Ex does not cause the Tracker to go to
DEEP SLEEP. As soon as new batteries are inserted, the SEAL/SEAL-Ex boots up and tries to join the
network.
2.5 Mounting
On the battery side of the enclosure, there are four clip holes that can be used to clip the SEAL/SEAL-
Ex to a belt or harness clip as shown in see Figure 2-2 below. The recommended clipping screw type is
M3 5mm stainless steel screws. Separate mounting screws are not provided with the SEAL/SEAL-Ex.

Figure 2-2: The Tracker clipped to a belt clip (Left) and harness clip (Right).
2.6 Battery Replacement
Open up the SEAL/SEAL-Ex using a 1.5mm internal hex screwdriver. The SEAL/SEAL-Ex has 6x 1.5mm
hex enclosure screws at the battery-side of the enclosure. Be careful not to misplace the back-cover or
any of the screws and washers.
To replace the batteries, use AA-size, 1.5 V, LID batteries. The SEAL/SEAL-Ex can operate with two or
three batteries, depending on the type of variant it is (2x for ATEX, 3x for non-ATEX).
Once the batteries make contact with the terminals, the SEAL/SEAL-Ex is powered ON and tries to join
the network, with its LEDs behaving as described in Section 4.34.3. Fit the back cover and tighten the
screws to keep the batteries in place. Make sure the screws are properly aligned with the screw inserts
before tightening the screws. Tighten the 6 cover screws to 2.5 lbf-in (30 N-cm).

4Operation, Alarms, and Management
4.1 Configuration
The SEAL/SEAL-Ex supports a full range of OTA configuration options. Specific technical details are
available in the SEAL/SEAL-Ex TRM [1]. All configuration commands need to be sent OTA during a
SEAL/SEAL-Ex’s receive windows.
4.2 Default Configuration
The default configuration on the Tracker is:
•Report the remaining battery capacity in percentage once every day.
•Report GNSS position fix coordinates, time stamp and groundspeed once every 15 mins in
NORMAL mode and once every minute in EMERGENCY mode
•Report the Safety status once every 5 minutes in NORMAL mode and once every minute in
EMERGENCY mode
4.3 LED Behaviour
See Figure 1-3 for the location and identification of the SEAL/SEAL-Ex LEDs.
During the boot and join process:
•All LEDs are turned OFF when power is first applied.
•All three front LEDs are turned on when the device health self-check begins
oIf the front LED flashes rapidly after they were turned off, then the self checks have
failed. Consider replacing the batteries, or moving the SEAL/SEAL-Ex to an environment
within the temperature range.
oIf the top LED flashes rapidly after the front LEDs are turned off, then the self checks
have passed. The SEAL/SEAL-Ex moves to the net step below.
•After a small delay (<10 seconds) the top LEDs start blinking rapidly indicating the SEAL/SEAL-
Ex is trying to join the network. During this time the SEAL/SEAL-Ex sends join request uplinks at
least once every 10s, with the front LED blinking every time a join request is sent. If the
SEAL/SEAL-Ex is not successful in joining the network after one hour, the SEAL/SEAL-Ex backs
off the joining process by reducing the rate at which it sends the join request to a significantly
lower rate to conserve battery. The flash rate of the LEDs is also reduced to once every 10s.
•During normal operation, the front LED blinks whenever LoRa uplink activity occurs on the
Tracker (transmitting packets).
