IMPORTANT
Basic information
• AutoGRAPH-ST is an autonomous anti-thief device intended for acquisition of the exact coordinates of assets and delivery of the coordinates to the
customer by SMS, Email and GPRS.
• The customer can track asset in real-time using the AutoGRAPH-Web application.
• The compact form factor makes the device easy to install and difcult to detect.
• The autonomous power supply is enough to send 1200 messages. Under normal usage the battery life time is up to 2 years.
• Operation of the device is organized in such way that the device is in Standby mode most of time. The AutoGRAPH-ST switches to Operation mode for acquisition of asset coordinates and delivery to the customer. The device will then switch to Standby mode until next period of Operation mode. First of all such behaviour extends battery life time. Secondly, it makes
detection by GSM/GPS scanners more difcult by limiting operational time.
5
• All operation parameters of AutoGRAPH-ST are congurable, so the device can be customized for a great number of applications. Standard
proles provide quick setup of the device for most common applications by
sending a short command to device.
• Remote setting allows the customer to control the device by sending settings in an SMS from anywhere without device removal and connection to a PC.
• In addition to location, the AutoGRAPH-ST sends information on current battery voltage, SIM balance, ambient temperature and asset speed to the customer.
• A built-in accelerometer detects start of motion, overturning, vibrations and other forces on the device which could be an attempt at wilful damage of the
asset. The AutoGRAPH-ST can be customized to send a notication to the
customer if the device detects acceleration above a preset threshold.

Device Functions
Most of the time the AutoGRAPH-ST device is in Standby mode. When the device is in Standby mode, the GNSS receiver and GSM modem are turned off, so communication with the device is unavailable. At preset intervals, the device switches to Operation mode to acquire the location and send the position to the customer.
In Operation mode, the device acquires its coordinates from satellites, records them into internal memory, sends collected data to the customer via enabled channels and receives control commands which were sent to the device during Standby mode. After performing all of the preset tasks, the device switches to Standby mode until the next period of Operation mode.
This method of operation prolongs the life of the battery and reduces the risk of device detection by a GSM scanner.
AutoGRAPH-ST devices have several groups of pre-set settings called proles
which customize the device for different applications. The customer can select
one of default proles or a personalized User prole. Detailed information on proles is given in the «Proles» section.
«Test» button
The «Test» button forces the device into Operation mode:
• a short press initiates data transfer via enabled paths to preset recipients. Immediately after transmission, the device switches back to Standby mode. In this case all data transfer periods are reset.
• a long press (more than 2 sec) activates Operation mode for 20 seconds. During this time the customer can send new settings to the device using remote control commands. A second press before 20 seconds has elapsed will force the device back into Standby mode. Data will not be transferred when in operation mode after a long press.
Use of the «Test» button allows the customer to setup the device and to check its operation before installation on an asset.
16
Coordinate acquisition
When the device is in Operation mode, it determines its position using global navigation system GLONASS and GPS (NAVSTAR). If it is unable to determine its position using GNSS, the device will determine its approximate GSM localization using the Yandex.Locator Service. Position accuracy, when
xing in relation to a GSM base station, can attain 1 km in city and 30 km in
the country.
If GPRS or Yandex.Locator Service are not available, the device will send the characteristics of the base station which it is connected to and the characteristics of the six nearest stations.
Recording the data
The device can be specied to acquire and record current coordinates
into internal memory without sending it to the customer. The period of data
recording is congurable and can be set using SMS command or the
AGSTConf program.
If the device’s current prole enables data transfer to a data server, all collected
data will be transferred to the server in the next period of data transmission. Also the collected data can be read via USB into the AutoGRAPH Dispatch Software.
Along with the device coordinates, ambient temperature, battery voltage and speed are also saved in the internal memory.
Data transmission
The AutoGRAPH-ST is capable of transferring data to a data server by GPRS, to telephone numbers by SMS and to email addresses by Email.
If data transfer to a server is enabled, the device will transfer current position
and collected data from the internal memory to the specied server. If
the device is unable to transfer data to the server, e.g. because of GPRS unavailability, the device will retry during the next transmission period.
17
Current position coordinates can be sent to the customer by SMS and Email. Along with the coordinates, the device sends speed, battery voltage level, ambient temperature, number of visible satellites, positioning accuracy in
case of xing using LBS and total number of SMS sent at last switch on. The
device is able to send SMS messages to 3 different telephone numbers and Email messages to 4 addresses in one period of Operation mode.
Coordinates can be send to the customer as a link to the online mapping service (Google Maps or Yandex Maps) or the customer can set up the AutoGRAPH-ST to send longitude and latitude values without a link.
Motion detection
Depending on the hardware version, AutoGRAPH-ST devices may be equipped with a built-in accelerometer.
The accelerometer can detect motion, device overturning and impact effects
on the device and notify the customer. To provide quick notication, the device sends rst SMS without coordinates and after position acquisition it sends
second SMS with asset coordinates.
To check whether the device has an accelerometer, the customer can use the AGSTConf program or send an SMS request to the AutoGRAPH-ST.
Additional functions
• Delay of Standby mode. This allows the device to stay in Operation mode
after sending an SMS for a specied amount of the time between 3 and 10
minutes. This can be used for sending new settings to the device after it has switched to Operation mode and sent it’s current position data by SMS.
• Balance inquiry. The device can be set up to send the balance of the SIM card to the customer in the SMS and Email with the coordinates. The customer can check the balance of the SIM card themselves by sending a control command to the device. The device can also be set up to send a
notication if the balance falls below a preset amount.
18
• Indicator switch off. The AutoGRAPH-ST is equipped with three LEDs intended to indicate device operation. The indicators can be completely switched off to extend battery life. This can be done using control commands or the AGSTConf program.
• Geofencing with notication by SMS.
Depending on the rmware revision, the device may not support all features. It is recommended that the latest rmware is used at all times.
Real-time tracking
The customer can track asset movement in real-time using «AutoGRAPH­Web» application. This application can be run on any web enabled mobile device.
A personal login and password for access into the application are given to the customer when purchasing the device.
It is recommended to use the «AutoGRAPH MOBILE» application for Android and iOS devices. «AutoGRAPH MOBILE» offers the same functionality as the «AutoGRAPH-Web» application and can be downloaded for free from Google Play on Android or the App Store on iOS.
19
Profiles
The AutoGRAPH-ST has ve standard proles which customize the device for different applications. Each prole customizes settings such as transmission time or period and methods. At specied intervals or at a scheduled time the
device acquires its location and sends the location data to the customer. After sending the SMS the device stays in Operation mode for a preset amount of time before returning to Standby mode. During the delay the device is able to receive and process incoming control commands. The delay time can be between 3 and 10 minutes. The default value is 5 minutes which should be
enough for the customer to send new settings or select a different prole.
SLP (SLeeP)
The SLP prole is the most power saving prole. In this mode the device acquires its position at specied intervals, then records the coordinates into
memory, and doesn’t transfer the data to the customer. After data recording, the device can stay in Operation mode for a preset duration. The default location acquisition period is 24 hours. The period can be customized by means of short SMS command - SLP. The period can vary from 1 to 648 hours with accuracy of 1 hour.
SLP prole may be used to disable temporarily data transmission (e.g. when
asset is in roaming).
Position xing using LBS is not available in SLP prole. If GNSS satellites are not available, the device will not acquire location data and after the delay time will return to Standby mode.
i
NOTE
20
CAR (CAR)
CAR prole sets the device to send an SMS with current position to preset
numbers once a day. By default the SMS is sent at 12:00. After sending the SMS the AutoGRAPH-ST device will stay in Operation mode for a preset duration for receiving control commands that may have been sent.
This prole is intended for use when the device is installed in a car as a security device. If the CAR prole is activated, the customer will receive an
SMS with the current position of the vehicle every day at the scheduled time. In addition to the car location, the SMS contains information about ambient temperature, SIM balance and battery voltage level.
CRG (CaRGo)
The Cargo prole sets the device to send an SMS with the current position to preset numbers and to transfer data to a specied server. The period between
each SMS and data transfer can be set from 1 to 24 hours with accuracy of 1 hour. By default, the period of each is set to 12 hours. After sending the SMS, the device stays in Operation mode for a preset duration then switches to
Standby mode. This prole is recommended for use when the device is used
for tracking valuable cargo.
TKR (TracKeR)
The prole sets the device to operate as a tracking device. In this prole, the AutoGRAPH-ST device acquires the asset’s position after a specied period
and records the data into internal memory. Collected data is transferred to
a specied server at preset interval. The data recording period can be set
from 10 minutes to 24 hours with accuracy of 1 minute. The default value is 15 minutes.
Transmission period varies from 1 to 648 hours with accuracy of 1 hour. The default value is 24 hours.
After data transmission, the device switches to Standby mode without a delay for receiving control commands.
This prole is recommended for personal tracking (e.g. for emergency and
service companies, child tracking etc.).
21
SRH (SeaRcH)
The prole is intended for an operational search for a stolen asset. For quicker
and more accurate acquisition of the asset location, the GNSS receiver is
permanently turned on whilst SRH prole. After specied periods AutoGRAPH-
ST sends an SMS with the asset’s current coordinates and transfers the data
to a specied server.
The period of data transmission to a server can be set from 5 minutes to 24 hours with accuracy of 1 minute.
The period of sending SMS can be set from 10 minutes to 24 hours with accuracy of 1 minute. After sending an SMS, the device will stay in Operation mode for a preset delay time for receiving incoming control commands.
Activate SRH prole by sending short control command - SRH to the device immediately after detecting asset loss. During the next period of Operation
mode, the device will process the command and activate the SRH prole.
USR (USeR)
USR prole can be customized to the customer’s requirements. The prole
can be activated by sending an SMS with the short control command - USR.
This command only activates the USR prole with preset parameters of
operation, it does not change them.
Therefore, it is recommended to set the prole’s parameters using AGSTConf program or extended SMS commands before use, and activate the prole when necessary. If the prole parameters were not changed by the user, they will remain at their default values after prole activation.
Parameters, such as data recording period, intervals of time of data sending
by SMS, Email and GPRS are available for adjustment in the USR prole.
The periods of data recording, SMS transmission, data transfer and Email sending can be set from 10 minutes to 648 hours with accuracy of 1 minute.
It is recommended that SMS commands are sent before the device switches to Operation Mode. The device will receive these commands promptly after switching to Operation mode. After processing the commands, the device will send a reply to the telephone number from which the commands were sent.
