System Operation
CelloTrack nano terminology –Active state = ON state = Unit is turned ON –Inactive state = OFF state = Unit is turned OFF (the lowest power consumption) –“Indications time window” = the time window that the LEDs and buzzer are active. After that time, they are shut down to save energy. This window opens after power up, reset and pressing one of the buttons. This size of this window is configurable. –“Check-in” = A feature that when both buttons are pressed the unit sends it location with a check-in transmission reason. –MultiSense pairing = When the operator wants the nano to be connected/linked/paired with a certain MultiSense unit, the nano and the MultiSense must first perform a pairing process, where the nano register the MultiSense MAC address in one place of its 16 cells table. –BIST = Build-In Self-Test process, preformed after reset or power-up (battery connection). –“Guest mode” = When this mode is enabled in the nano, it will communicate with any MultiSense in its range, forwarding its sensors data to the server.

User interface - Buttons Buttons: –Every press on a button when the unit is active will get a short audible beep feedback by the buzzer, if enabled at parameter “Button press Buzzer feedback“. –The Right button - Panic button (marked "!“): Pressing for 2 seconds or more (even if not released), followed by engagement feedback (configurable by Buzzer enable bits), A panic event will be sent to the server. ACK by the server will generate another reception feedback - configurable by “Panic was ACKed by server Buzzer feedback” bit. –The Left button – Power button (marked “ “): Short press (<5 seconds) will open the configurable size indication time window. –Also, this button is turning the unit ON and OFF: –Turning ON - pressing 3 seconds while turned OFF. After that the system shall go to self test as described at this slide. –Turning OFF - pressing 5 seconds while turned on. –At the end of that period, the turning ON/OFF take place even if the button is not released.
User interface - Buttons Check in feature: –Pressing simultaneously on both buttons for at least 1 second (and less than 5 seconds), followed by a 0.5 second buzzer beep every elapsed second if enabled at the PL, and/or LEDs feedback (configurable at the PL), and shall transmit the current location once. –It is also related to set the baseline reference accelerometer position of the man down feature detailed in the programming manual. MultiSense pairing feature: –Pressing simultaneously on both buttons for more than 5 second will initiate the MultiSense in-field pairing process.
User interface - LEDs Left LED – Battery and deviations: –marked " " and " " gives indication on the power/battery and deviations (as explained in next slide). –When unit is turned ON, or a short press on left button (shorter than 5 seconds), or following reset command, all the following LED indications are restarted according to “nano indications time window”. – Battery status: When unit is turned ON, short blink of 100mS every X seconds to show battery status according to the following legend: Battery is 50-100% - Green: █__________________█__________________█__________________█_...

If enabled in PL: –Every valid pressing on buttons, will sound the "Buttons feedback beep" (20mS). –Panic /Check-in event activation operates the beeps as explained in the programming manual. –After Panic (special distress) event got acknowledged by the server, long beep. –When any active sensors go out of the defined limits (all meanings of the "out-of-range" are explained in the programming manual), plus geo-fences (all legacy violation related to geo-fences are relevant here too), the unit shall sound short beeps every PL configurable time if the "Indications time window“ is open/active. –Short beep upon any power-up packet received from a paired/preregistered MultiSense. See SR-RF pairing (and un-pairing) process related beeps at this slide.
Indications after power up (Build-In Self-Test) –The unit will perform a Build-In Self-Test (BIST) upon any of the following cases: 1. When battery is connected, while system was active before disconnection. 2. After turning ON (moving unit from inactive to active mode, at the end of the 3 second press duration). 3. Upon receiving a reset command. –The Build-In Self-Test (BIST) shall include GNSS module, Cellular modem basic (local) communication + SIM exists and battery.

USB and charging Usage: Micro-B female USB connector, through which the unit can perform the following functions: –Charging the internal battery from the supplied AC-adaptor or PC USB port. –USB port serial communication for PL update. –USB port serial communication for FW upgrade. Charging: The CelloTrack battery operates on a Li-Ion battery of 1000mAh nominal capacity. The internal changer supports 2 level of charging speeds: –The slow speed is used when the unit recognizes the source as "weak". It could be USB 1.0 PC port, weak AC-adaptors or weak car-adaptors. –The charging current in this case is ~100mA so full charge time can sometimes be more than 10 hours. –The faster speed is automatically chosen when the source is recognized to be able to supply enough current. Then the charging current in this case is ~330mA so full charge time will be less than 5 hours.
USB and charging Charging modes: The unit has 2 modes of charging: –FW controlled – the nano FW decide when to start and stop charging. It charges the battery to a certain hardcoded high-level charge point (e.g. 90%) and then let the battery be consumed to the level of an hardcoded low-level charge point (e.g. 75%) before another charge cycle is started. In this way, the battery oscillates between 90% and 75% forever and the left LED toggles between green and yellow forever. To set this mode, set the parameter of "Charging Stop upon Battery Full detection" to "Stop charging". This mode of operation is more suitable for constantly powered systems and it keeps the battery health better in the long run. –HW controlled – the charger chip decides when the battery has reached full charge (100%) and then stops charging it. Indication on left LED turns then from orange to green. This operation is restarted every 5 hours. To set this mode, set the parameter of "Charging Stop upon Battery Full detection" to "Keep charging". This mode is more suitable for systems that get charged from time to time, but the system is not powered constantly.
MultiSense Overview: –The MultiSense is a remote peripheral sensor communicating and configured by the CelloTrack-nano via a short-range RF link. –There are 2 models of MultiSense: regular ones that can measure temperature called just "MultiSense" and "MultiSense-TH" which have combined temperature + humidity sensor. –The MultiSense unit has the following sensors on it: 1. Temperature sensor 2. Humidity sensor (only in MultiSense-TH model) 3. Hall effect magnetic sensor 4. Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) 5. Accelerometer sensor –The system supports up to 16 fully programmable MultiSense units. –If "guest mode" is enabled in the parameter “Process ID tags not in the list”, the nano unit will also connect with MultiSense units not in its list, read their sensors and pass the data (in raw format) to the server. Only listed MultiSense units also gets configuration block and their readings are fully processed by the nano.
MultiSense More information: –The MultiSense is a configurable sleepy peripheral slave, which means it is configurable by the tools (via the nano) and it transmits according to the preconfigured policy. –The nano, if enabled in parameter “Nano is master of several slave sensors enable” is always listening to RF links and intercepts MultiSense units. –The RF range between the MultiSense and nano unit can reach more than 100m at open space (optimal conditions), and lower in various installations. All according to attenuation at 2.4GHz of the RF signal. –If the MultiSense is not received by the nano for 5 x “Proximity & keep-alive transmission timer” it will report it as lost. (could be due to: Dead battery, shut-down, totally out-of-range or stolen). –The battery of the MultiSense is the Lithium coin CR2450 (~600mAh) battery and its lifetime depends heavily on its configuration. Typically several months. –MultiSense units can be intercepted by an updated cellular phone* but data is encrypted so it cannot be understood. –The CelloTrack-nano cannot interface with other sensors in the market.
MultiSense Transmission policy: –All the MultiSense units related to a nano system has the same configuration of the following timers: 1. Relaxed (R) – parameter in PL: “Active sensors sampling relaxed timer“. Used when the temperature and humidity are within their (configurable) limits. 2. Violation(V) - parameter in PL: “Active sensors sampling violating timer“. Used when the temperature and humidity are out of their (configurable) limits. 3. Proximity(P) - parameter in PL: “Proximity & keep-alive transmission timer”. Used all the time independently from the previous ones. –If "TX on violations only" mode is enabled (configurable per MultiSense), the R timer shall be used for determine sensors sampling rate only (without transmission), but the V (when violation occurs) and P shall be working normally. –Besides that, there are few asynchronous events that will cause a single transmission: 1. Pressing the button. 2. Impact or free-fall event generated by the accelerometer (crossing a pre-configured threshold). 3. Sensing a change in the magnetic field (opening/closing of a door or window, that the permanent magnet is installed on). 4. From FW version 4V50 and up, also crossing the light threshold to either direction (darkness  light).
MultiSense Precautions and warnings: –The MultiSense should NOT be paired with more than 1 nano (in the same area), otherwise it will drop its chances for successful communication greatly. –The “Guest mode” in the nano which is enabled by the “Process ID tags not in the list” parameter in the PL, should be used with great caution, because it then will connect with every MultiSense in its range, whether paired or not. This may prevent from other nano units to communicate with their paired units. –The case is even worse if more than one nano with this “Guest mode” enabled are in the same area, since they will race and interfere each other. –The MultiSense is intended to be attached to the tracked equipment and should not be worn on a human body or in the range of 20 cm from it.
MultiSense Marking: –The magnet icon symbolizes the location of the magnet sensor. The permanent magnet should be installed against it with distance of body-to-body of 1-3cm, while the small triangle on the magnet points to the icon in the MultiSense. –The eye icon symbolizes the light sensor direction, to which the source of light should be directed. Battery: –Use only CR2450 size battery. Be careful not to install it at the wrong polarity as it could damage the unit. –Choose the exact battery model and manufacturer of the battery according to the needed temperature range. –To install a battery unscrew the upper half from the base half until the two triangles on the side are aligned and then pull it.
MultiSense Button and blue LED: –When battery is inserted, the unit always goes to active mode and the blue LED lights for 3 seconds. –When active, every short press (up to 1 second long) triggers sampling + transmission and the blue LED blinks 5 times. –When active, a long press (>4 seconds) will turn the unit OFF (inactive mode), accompanied by 3 blue LED blinks. –When the unit is off (inactive mode), a long press (>4 seconds) will turn the unit ON and the blue LED lights for 3 seconds (same as battery insertion above).
Step by step guides
Step by step installation for evaluation –The tools we provide for evaluation called “Evaluation Suite” and can be loaded from our internet site at this address (requires login with username+password). –This set of tools include the following nano related tools: –The “Cellocator programmer” which is used to configure a single nano unit and its related MultiSense units. It also includes the nano editor screen. –The “Communication Center” which is used to get and interpreted / parse the messages sent by a nano unit via the cellular link and also to send some commands to the nano over the cellular link. –The “Serial CSF STK Flasher” which is used to perform local FW upgrades of the nano. –The “Communication Logger” which can be used to sniff on various serial communication links inside the nano board.
Step by step installation for evaluation –Install the latest version of Cellocator’s evaluation suite. Install it as an administrator. –Be sure to select the 64-bit or 32-bit installer version according to your windows version. (Start button, or Windows+e then right click on computer -> properties will reveal your version number). See example:
Step by step installation for evaluation –Select the ‘Complete’ installation type, and then next->next… –Follow security instructions related to installation of the evaluation suite. –The installation process will automatically install the “ST virtual COM port” windows driver if needed. –After connecting the nano via the supplied micro-USB cable to the PC it will be recognized and windows will allocate it a new COM port. –Windows will declare which COM port number has been allocated. Anyway, this port number can be found when opening the windows “Device manager” under “Ports (COM & LPT)” folder: In this example the nano is at COM36
Step by step installation for evaluation –Open Cellocator programmer utility. File open-> choose the latest nano PL file. –For initial communication to begin, the nano COM port number should be set. –Click on the “Configuration icon” (see below), select the “Communication” tab, and set the COM port number. Then choose Baud rate of 115200, and Unit type “Cello 4K”. Close by pressing the OK button. –The “Connection icon” (lock icon) should show closed-lock now and the connection indication dot at the bottom of the window should turn from red to green. Configuration icon Connection icon Connection indication
Step by step installation for evaluation –The nano related parameters (on top of CelloTrack legacy parameters) resides in 2 areas. See the below screenshot. –MultiSense units global settings is in separate folder (09). See below. –All MultiSense units individual settings are under the “nano editor” screen. Press the “nano editor” icon to open it and then select the “Sensors configuration” tab. Inputs & Sensors folder including the nano specialized sensors and related functionality MultiSense related global settings in new folder nano editor icon Nano Work-ID feature under Power Events
Step by step installation for evaluation –The concept of operation and parameters flow between the 4 entities of HW, programmer screen, storage and “nano editor” screen is as follows: File save File open or Open “nano editor” or Read from PL Write to PL Upload parameters Download parameters Dashboard direct link Dashboard / Sensors status tabs Sensors configuration tab
Step by step installation for evaluation –If you want to pair a MultiSense to the nano, first verify that parameter “Nano is master of several slave sensors enable” is enabled. –Go over the rest of the MultiSense parameters to fit your needs. –If any of the above parameters are changed, it requires to reset the nano unit for the changes to take effect. If needed, press the green reset button. –If reset takes place, the connection with nano is lost and should be restored manually after the reset sequence has completed (a beep is sound from the nano). Reconnection is performed by pressing the connection (lock) icon. Reset button Connection icon
Step by step installation for evaluation –To enter the nano to Pairing window, it is recommended to open the lock by pressing the “Connection icon” to disconnect the communication. –Then disconnect the nano from the micro-USB cable. –Press both nano buttons until sequence of 4 beeps and then a double-beep is sound from its buzzer. –The left LED will start blinking orange. This means the paring window is open for the duration configured in “SR-RF Pairing time window” parameter. –If any unknown to the nano MultiSense will be powered on (pushing the button for 5 seconds while unit is in OFF state, or battery insertion) in the vicinity, during this window, it will be paired. –If successfully paired, a long beep (2 seconds) will be sound from nano buzzer. Connection icon After successful pairing, to view the newly paired MultiSense in the tool, you need to read the list from the Nano back to the PC by pressing the “Upload parameters” button. See below:
Step by step installation for evaluation –Inside that pairing window, if any paired MultiSense (with this nano) is turned OFF, by pressing its button (when in ON mode) for >5 seconds, it will be “Unpaired”. –The pairing window is prolonged after each successful pairing or un-pairing operation. –When the window closed, the unit will either blink its right LED red shortly if nothing has been paired or unpaired, or reset itself if some MultiSense units have been paired or unpaired. –After the reset, reconnect the USB cable and push the connection icon (the lock). –Perform “Upload parameters” ( ) to update the programmer on the newly paired MultiSense units. –Open the nano editor ( ) and you can see in both “Sensors status” and “Sensors configuration” tabs the new MultiSense status and configuration respectively. –Select the desired line to focus on by clicking on it.
Step by step installation for evaluation The first tab is a dashboard showing an overview status, in real-time, of the system components. The third tab is a configuration screen where some of the Nano parameters and the individual settings of each MultiSense unit can be changed. (also support multiple edits in single operation) The second tab shows the current status, in real-time, of selected device, nano or one of the MultiSense units.
Step by step installation for evaluation The 4th tab is a configuration screen for setting each legacy (type-0) event, whether to be sent also in an “Encapsulated” way over type-11 message or not.
Step by step nano FW upgrade –To update the FW version of the CelloTrack nano device, you will need the tool called “Serial CSF STK Flasher” (separate installation from the evaluation tools). –Close all application that might open the nano COM port, like Cellocator programmer etc. –Open the tool, direct it to the nano’s COM port number and press the lightning icon: . –If communication is OK, the “Com Port” light will change from red to green. –Select the desired CSF file by pressing on The button. –Push the “Automatic Burn” button. –Follow the on screen instructions to the completion of the process. –The whole process takes around 7 minutes. –At completion, the COM port is reconnected by the tool. –Just close the application or disconnect and connect to another unit.
Overview about Type-11 integration
Messaging concept in CelloTrack-nano –All functionality of the CelloTrack nano events uses Type-0 legacy events and/or the advanced Type-11 messages, all according to the configuration bits per feature. –Each nano specialized feature will have these 4 bits of configuration: –Type-0 could also be "Active log event" or not, depending at the global (one per system) bit of "Enable Active Events" (at address 0000.0 of the PL). Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0 Type - 11 Type - 0 Logged "Active log event" Logged Distress
Messaging concept in CelloTrack-nano –This will enable the user to select between the following options: Type-11 options: 0= Disable 1= "Active Log Event" 2= Logged Type-0 options: 0= Disable (the global "Active log event" bit will be ignored) 1= Distress (the global "Active log event" bit will be ignored) 2= Logged 3= Logged & Distress (not a recommended setting if the "Active log event" bit is set, it will cause sending 2 messages per the event). –The log memory supports both types simultaneously, as a continuous and united space. Note: When "Active log event" is used, the unit turn on the GNSS and wait for a fix (up to 90 seconds timeout), if fixed is achieved, both the GPS stamp and time stamps of the event are overridden.
Type-11 message structures –The “General Event Message is a Type 11 message designed to reflect system events and notifications towards the server. The message is built as follows: –Modules 8, 6, 7 and 42 are mandatory fields, and always come first in this exact order, everything else (module 28 is just an example here) shall come after that. –For more details go to the “Cellocator Wireless Communication Protocol” document on section 5.
Parsing example
Example of an Type-0 message parsing This is an example of type-0 message with the CelloTrack-nano internal sensors data fields, passed over the “Multi-purpose bytes (33-38)” aka Dallas bytes.

Templates and expected battery life
About templates In the PL file, there is a new feature that enables the user to quickly set a typical use case configuration, that can be later fine tuned if needed. This is done by using ready made templates. Currently we have 7 of them and they can be selected by pressing the file  Select Template from the main screen, or from the template icon in the Nano editor screen. For example: Template #1 is intended for long shipments, with paired MultiSense units, with transmission every 15 minutes (“almost live tracking”). Under nominal conditions, with 4 paired MultiSense units, the expected battery life of the Nano is around 5.5 days. Another example: Template #3 is a typical legacy use case of CelloTrack-T, using only type-0 messages, but with addition of MultiSense units.
