REV: 2.3 (Standard, GT2000V3.1, GT2000-D2)

I. BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Personal Tracking System utilizes the GPS and GPRS functions in one unit. You can monitor the vehicle or

the people location and set the system remotely. In addition, the unit will send event report if any trigger

occurs.

The standard report sent by the unit includes the information: (1) unit’s ID, (2) status, (3) time, (4) GPS’s

latitude and longitude, (5) speed, (6) direction, (7) device’s status, (8) event number, and (9) report

configuration parameters.

The reporting mode can be categorized as ‘normal’ mode, and ‘power saving’ mode. In normal mode, the

GPS will always be activated while moving, and it can be shut off the GPS when stop (for power saving

purpose). To enable the maximum power saving, user can choose the “power saving” mode. In this mode, the

GPS will be activated only when there is a report to send while moving. The report parameters can be set

from the PC setup program. GT-2000 can be set to go in sleep mode (while not moving), the system will cut

the power of GPS module in order to save power. With build-in 3-D acceleration sensor, GT-2000 can select

related reporting modes with respect to it is moving or not.

The device has built-in 4 Geofences and one immediate Geofences (in circular shapes), it will send the report

to the server if the Geofence event is triggered.

The UNIT must be initialized by PC setup program in order to make communication with the remote server

/call center. There are three main sections that allow users to program the device, (1) User detail (Device ID,

server IP, and port, GPRS APN….) (2) Geo-fence (5 circular Geo-fence) (3) Report (Time, Distance, speed,

Low battery, wakeup …)

A unique help report: user can press the Button 3 for 2 seconds after the unit power on. The unit will send the

help report to server, power LED flash 5 times at the same time.

When there is no GPRS service or the server close. The unit will send short message to the preset number.

The max. number of SMS message (monthly usage) and the monthly renew date can be set from the pc setup

program or the remote setup program. Only 1 SMS number can be set. The reports sent via the SMS will be

out again via GPRS after a valid GPRS connection is made.

GT-2000 can be configured by the PC setup program or the Over-the-Air (OTA) commands / or remote

program. The unit can communicate with the server via UDP or TCP protocol. The protocol can be selected

from the PC-setup program or remote server commands.

Flash memory for recording reports up to 900 reports. It can be read out from the PC setup program via serial

port.

On the left side, there are two buttons (+button and –button) used to change the ring volume. Push +button

for 2sec. to select shock, ring or ring &shock together modes.

Recharge battery need three hours, after finish recharging, Power LED will change to green.

Call Monitoring: user can send a SMS that included the preset password of the unit. GT-2000 will send

“PASS” SMS ACK back, unit will auto answer the phone in the following 5 minutes.

Using built-in real time clock to identify the report time, when GPS signal is lost. Hence, if the report is

received with “LAST KNOWN” message, the time in the report will be the real time clock, but the GPS

position will be the last known valid GPS position.

Three LED indicate the status of the SYSTEM, GPRS signal and GPS signal.

SYSTEM LED: to refer the IV. BUTTON OPERATION

YELLOW LED: GSM/GPRS indicator. Yellow LED will flash when the device is connected to the server

with valid GPRS connection. It will stay continuously on when it is in GSM mode. It will stay off if there is

no GSM reception.

GREEN LED: GPS indicator. This LED will be continuously on when the unit received a valid GPS data.

Note that the YELLOW and GREEN LEDs indication will not be valid until the system goes to the working

mode, normally 30 seconds after power on.

II. BASIC FUNCTIONS

FUNCTIONS APPLICATIONS

GPS

GPS receiver will output a complete position, velocity, and time (PVT) solution in

the NMEA Version 3.0 protocol

GPRS, SMS

GPRS use standard TCP or UDP communicate protocol. If the GPRS service is

failed, the SMS mode will be turned on for emergency use.

Button

Power button

Three Buttons for call, Help, SOS….(right side)
