Geofence
This function allows setting up active zones on a map. Device will inform about cutting the edge of the zone by sending
SMS message. This is very handy and easy way to track object when it is important that object will not leave or enter
configured territory. Also it is possible to set times when a zone will be active.
Configuration
Geofence function can be configured in Track Assistant software: Device configuration → Geofence tab.

Notice!
• Polygon can consist of maximum 10 angles.
• Device can save maximum 50 zones in a memory.
• Maximum thickness of a Geozone is about 100 meters. Pay attention to this because minimum space, where
Geozone will be active is necessary.

19
There are two available SMS events –cross in and cross out. Device will send configured SMS crossing in and crossing
out Geozone. SMS can be chosen from default or user created templates. User can see Geozone on a map, rename it or
delete it by pressing on a Geozone with right mouse click. Weekdays and Geozone active time can be configured in time
scheduling window.
Operation
Examples:
1. If coordinate logging period is short device will inform immediately after crossing the zone.
2. If device coordinate logging period is pretty long, but device manages to record a coordinate while being in a
zone, device will send SMS message a little later.
3. If coordinate logging period is long enough it is possible that device will cross in the zone and cross out not even
noticed. In this situation GH4200 will not inform about crossing the zone.

20
It is possible to send SMS request in order to find out in which Geozone device is. Information about that can be found
in section SMS requests.
Alarm

not saved anymore, device is always looking for new coordinates, tries to notify about current location by one of set
method.
Configuration
Alarm mode can be activated/deactivated in 5 ways: by ALARM button, by SMS message, by activation by call, by
parking function, by man –down function.
