System Description
The Locus Traxx Fixed wireless system enables fresh produce shippers to deliver
produce with a freshness confidence. The system does this with a series of radio
systems that wirelessly track product location, temperature, and other condition
and, or shipment sensors. Sensor modules termed “Smart Tags” transmit their
information via a 802.15.4 local wireless network back to a central portable or fixed
unit. The portable, or fixed units, concatenate this local sensor information with
position data from a dedicated GPS receiver and transmits the data package to a
central motoring facility through either a GSM cellular or Iridium network.
Installation
Hooking up the Fixed System (Performed by a Professional LocusTraxx
Installer)
1. Remove the fixed unit from the shipping container. On the top side of the
device, verify that the Green LED is flashing indicating that the unit is awake.
2. Attach the fixed unit to a covered section of the host vehicle. Connect host
battery power to the fixed unit with appropriate cables.
3. Connect the dipole antenna port to the refrigeration container RF SMA feed
through with the RF cable provided. Connect the dipole antenna inside the
refrigeration container. Apply Silicone sealant over each outer SMA
connector.
4. Connect the triband combination antenna to the fixed unit and splitter and
route the RF cables such that the combination puck antenna can be mounted
with a clear view of the sky. Apply Silcone sealant over each outer SMA
connector.
5. Remove the Smart Tag unit(s) from the shipping case and place on item to
be monitored. For optimal performance, insure that the Tag operates within
approximately 60 feet of the fixed mounted section.
6. Verify that the system is correctly monitoring the tag temperature and
current location.

Radio Comments
Optimum performance of the Smart Traxx system may require repositioning of the
Smart Tag in relation to the fixed or portable device. Excessive attenuation of the
RF communication can result if the line of sight is obstructed by materials that
significantly attenuate the signal. It is therefore advised to keep this in mind when
positioning your wireless system.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Locus
Traxx could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio
peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques
de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the
antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum
gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner
avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal
et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus
dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont
strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
802.15.4 Quarter Wave Dipole: 2.15 dBi.
Puck Antenna:
GSM (EGSM,DPCS): 1 dBi max.
2.4 GHz ISM: 1dBi
A professional antenna installer from Locus Traxx is required and used on all
installations. To improve connection durability and enable tamper resilience, a
LocusTraxx.com 14924 Corporate Road S. Jupiter, Fl 33478 877-998-7299
silicone sealant is applied over the outer barrel of each electrical connection to
and from the unit.
Class B Devices:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de
l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage
est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement
RF Exposure
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
