TAG-T3 Wombat – User Guide, 1.0.7 Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION

Geonautics International’s TAG-T3 W as a GPS logger with law enforcement tracking requirements in mind.

The TAG-T3 W

OMBAT functions as a self contained unit with

Local RF communications and downloading capabilities.

Being designed to operate from a single internal 9v (PP3) battery, the unit can log positions for up to a month without user intervention. Coupling this with the water and dust resistant seals the unit is perfectly suited to “slap on” applications.

The device can also be used with external power, allowing the user the flexibility of operating from an external power source, be it multiple battery packs or vehicular power. This feature makes the unit suitable for longer term deployments.

While remaining compatible with SNETLiteM3 and GeoPoint the

TAG-T3 W

OMBAT with low power consumption, compact size and

rugged design has it all covered for your tracking needs.

1.1 Features

Features of the TAG-T3 W

2. THE TAG-T3 WOMBAT KIT

2.1 TAG-T3 Wombat

The TAG-T3 W configuration, and should be configured to the users particular operational parameters before deployment.

Installation and operational procedures are beyond the scope of this manual. However a few things to consider include:

2.1.1 Box

The

TAG-T3 is an environmentally sealed unit which meets the IP67

specification.

The device is protected from dust and temporary water immersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 15cm. IP67 indicates the seals will not protect against water jets that are higher in pressure than a running kitchen faucet.

It is recommended to apply a small amount of Silicon Grease to the seals (both battery and top covers) each time it is opened.

2.1.2 Vehicle Mounting

Always avoid mounting the TAG-T3 near surfaces that may become hot, either because of the engine or through sunlight heating the vehicle.

If using a magnetic plate to mount the unit ensure the mounting surface is clean and free from grease and dirt. 75% of the magnets should be in direct contact to ensure an adequate hold.

The magnetic plate is built into the lid of the TAG-T3. It is affixed to the unit via the mounting holes and M2.5 screws provided. The magnets are extremely strong and should not be placed near electrical equipment – particularly computer monitors.

OMBAT is designed to be used in a stand alone

Page 10

TAG-T3 Wombat – User Guide, 1.0.7 The TAG-T3 Wombat Kit

The magnetic plate is shipped with a keeper plate covering the magnets. This reduces the effects to the outside surroundings and to help protect the plate.

Figure 2, Magnetic plate

2.1.3 GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna connector is located on the end of the TAG-T3 unit. GPS signals require “line of sight”, thus the GPS antenna (see 2.3.1) should be installed in a place where it has the best view of the sky available. As a rule of thumb, materials that are not electrically conductive, glass, cardboard, plastic, rubber etc, will not affect the GPS signals. Materials that are conductive will totally block the signals.

Remember that metallic paints, window tinting, demister elements and “in glass” antennas may all have an effect.

2.1.4 TRX Antenna

The TRX antenna used to communicate with the unit is located next to the GPS antenna connector. It should be positioned with as little metal

around it as possible. Placement of the TAG-T3 should allow the TRX antenna to be in as good a position as achievable, allowing as near to line of sight as possible. Also keep in mind that metallic paints and metal vehicle components can all affect the TRX signal.

TAG-T3 Wombat – User Guide, 1.0.7 The TAG-T3 Wombat Kit

2.2 DL1 REMOTE DOWNLOADER

The Geonautics DL1 Remote Downloader allows for easy deployments with its inbuilt storage, external antenna connector and battery holders. It allows for the user to load “scripts” to configure and

interrogate their TAG-T3 while being used in a stand alone mode. The DL1 can also be used while connected directly to a PC.

2.2.1 Getting Started

Before the unit can be used for remote downloading, it must be configured with the commands that are to be sent to the target unit. The package is used to perform this “scripting” configuration. In this mode, the DL1 Remote Downloader must be connected to a PC via the USB plug. No batteries are required at this stage. Please consult your user guide for more information.

In stand alone Remote mode, the device is powered by three, v389 or similar, Silver Oxide batteries. These batteries will enable the device to perform field communications for approximately 7 hrs.

Open the battery door and insert 3 batteries in the DL1 Remote Downloader’s battery holders. The orientation for the batteries is shown on the device housing.

An antenna connector is located on the rear of the device, opposite the USB connector. An antenna must be connected to communicate via the RF link.

Once the unit is configured, batteries have been inserted and an antenna has been connected, the device is then ready to begin communicating.

2.2.2 Initiating the DL1 Downloader

Slide the switch found on the side of the device towards the USB connector. This will commence the command sequence (e.g. Download, reconfigure, etc).

2.2.3 Monitoring Progress

The DL1 Remote Downloader will give an initial ‘triple buzz’ from its internal vibration motor. This indicates that it is ON and ready to find its programmed target.

Once the unit is ready, it will indicate one of three states:

• If DL1 has nothing to do (e.g. not programmed with a

script), then it will give a triple ‘buzz’, pause for 2 seconds, then give a final triple ‘buzz’.

• If the DL1 Remote Downloader is not within range of its

target, it will give a single ‘buzz’ once every ten (10) seconds.

• If the Remote Downloader is within range and

communicating with its programmed target, it will give a single ‘buzz’ once every two (2) seconds.

Once the Remote Downloader has received all necessary information, it gives a ‘triple buzz’, and then will cease any further indications.

Slide the switch found on the side of the device away from the USB connector. This will turn the device OFF.

Each time power is applied to the DL1 Remote Downloader, it will run through its programmed “script”, storing any and all responses it receives from its target.

Please consult your responses from the TAG-T3, which were stored on the DL1 Remote

Downloader during its operation.

2.2.4 External Power Connector

External power can be fed to the Remote Downloader via the three pin connector located at the front of the device. This allows the unit to be powered externally to enable longer download times. A spare three pin Datamate connector and pins are provided for this connector. 4V to 10V can be fed through this connector. Pin out configuration is described in the following picture.

Figure 4, DL1 – External Power Configuration

2.2.5 External LED Indicator

An LED connected to the external Datamate connector (as shown in

Figure 4 above) enables the visual indication of:

• The start (triple flash) and end (on constantly) of the remote

download process.

• Each time the packet receive process has been started,

whereby a single flash will occur at a rapid rate during normal RF communications.

TAG-T3 Wombat – User Guide, 1.0.7 Commands

4. COMMANDS

4.1 Command Set Notation

The following pages give a complete list of the TAG-T3’s command set. Commands may be transmitted to the unit directly using the Remote Downloader or via the “Direct Connect” cable. All commands must be terminated with a carriage return / linefeed pair <CR><LF>.

Commands are sent to and received from the TAG-T3 unit in a comma separated ASCII format. With respect to the command set, the following notation is used

$GO0 Command identifier [<Unit_Id >] Optional device serial number <parameter> Indicates a parameter is required [,<parameter>] Optional parameter

<parameter|parameter> Choice of parameters i.e. ON|OFF

Sending an appropriately filled out command message to the TAG- T3 can change the appropriate parameters for that command. It

should be noted that not all values need to be supplied in order to change a single value of a multiple parameter command. All that is required is to ensure that there are the correct number of commas so that the value being set is in the right location.

Any commands sent to the unit with “blank” values will result in that parameter being queried and the result returned as part of the reply. e.g. sending a

$GO0,,CLK,,,,

or $GO0,,CLK or $GO0,Unit_Id,CLK

to the TAG-T3 will return an acknowledgment containing the current parameters, for example $GOA,T3-001,CLK,0000,36000,60,180

The TAG-T3 will acknowledge all commands sent to it with either an acknowledgment, or an error message. Command ACKnowledgments and NACKnowledgments that are returned by a device, have the following notation

$GOA Command ACKnowledgment identifier $GON Command Not ACKnowledge identifier $GOM Unsolicited message identifier

TAG-T3 Wombat – User Guide, 1.0.7 Troubleshooting and FAQ

5. TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAQ

If you are having trouble connecting to your TAG-T3 unit, some tips are below on how to re-establish contact.

 If the problem is occurring during RF Communications,

ensure that the communications settings are correct, refer to the

TAG Comms

 When a device is not powered for long periods or moves a

great distance while turned OFF, the GPS can take longer than normal to calculate its first new position. When trying to force the GPS into calculating a position, set the GPS power management to always ON (0), then give the unit a GPS, RST, ensuring the antenna can see sky. Having the unit stationary may help fast track this operation.

 Default TRX interval is ON for 3 mins each half hour, on the

half hour, referenced to local time. When device is first powered, local time could be incorrect until the GPS can see the sky and update its internal clocks.

APPENDIX D GEONAUTICS’ PLAIN ENGLISH WARRANTY

We aren’t lawyers but our lawyers thought it would be a good idea to explain how we stand behind our products. This is a simple explanation of how our warranty works.

What is covered by our Warranty?

All products manufactured by Geonautics are covered by a warranty.

What Items are not covered by Warranty?

Geonautics does not cover batteries and disposable accessories that are related to the products you bought. We do not cover microphones and equipment that are normally damaged in field use.

We do not cover acts of God or circumstances outside our control such as lightning strikes, accident or mistreatment damage; or

Independently warranted items that are bought through Geonautics but are not manufactured by Geonautics, such as the TTI RF range. If, for example you buy a receiver or a computer through us and it breaks down you will have to talk to the manufacturer.

How long is the Warranty good for?

Our warranty is the standard one year warranty from the date we shipped the goods from our office. Our solid state items such as A1, A2 and A3 digital recorders receive an additional warranty from us and are covered for a total of 3 years.

What do I have to do to claim my Warranty?

You will need to do the following:

Notify us within 14 days of becoming aware that there is a problem with your product;

Return the products to Geonautics or their representative in your area at your cost (we do not accept COD deliveries); and

Be patient while we check the equipment to make sure that the problem is a genuine problem and hasn’t arisen because of any misuse, neglect, improper installation, storage, accident or other damage that really shouldn’t be our problem.

How does our Warranty protect you?

Once we have satisfied ourselves that there is a problem with the product we will either repair it, replace it or issue you with a credit or refund for the products. Any replacement provided to you will continue to carry the remainder of your existing warranty. We try to use new parts wherever possible when making warranty repairs but sometimes it is not possible to source replacement parts for older products and a refurbished part may be used in repairing your product.

Lawyer Stuff

Our lawyers need us to put in another bit here with lots of legal jargon.

Geonautics does not provide any other express warranties for its products or imply further terms in its warranty which are not printed here. This includes warranties relating to the product being fit for any particular purpose or being of a certain merchantable quality.

Geonautics will not be liable for any damage caused by the failure of any product or associated software. In particular, neither Geonautics nor any associated company, distributor, re seller, agent or employee shall be liable to any party for any loss of profit or any other commercial damage including, but not limited to special, incidental, consequential, collateral or other damages arising from the provision of our products, associated software or accessories as a consequence of any cause or event whatsoever.

If any provision of this warranty or its application to any party, person or circumstances is invalid or unenforceable, for any reason then the remainder of this warranty shall not be effected because of it and shall remain.

This warranty extends only to the original purchaser or registered user. The warranty may be transferred to other users with the written approval of Geonautics.
