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.

–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.
Indications after power up (Build-In Self-Test)
After pressing the power button (left one) for >5 seconds, the unit will turn ON and perform a BIST (Build-In Self-
Test) sequence. the indications will looks like that for the first 5÷10 seconds:

In case of battery failure, the indication on the right LED :
█_____________________________________██___██___██___██
--------------------------first 5÷10 Seconds after turn ON------------------------
–The priority of failures is in ascending order, battery is the highest. And only the highest priority is displayed.
–Timing of the failure blinks is 500mS ON and 500mS OFF.
–All buttons pressing are blocked/ignored during the entire BIST period.
Indications for shutdown sequence
–To shutdown the unit, the user should set the configuration bit in PL of address
2046.7 to ‘0’ and press the left button for > 5 seconds.
–When the user shut down the unit by pressing the power button and one of the
configuration bits of "Transmission before shutdown" are enabled, the unit will push
to the log the event message of Transmission-reason = 102 ("Activation mode
change") with STR= 0 ("About to move to Inactive mode").
–If the unit is configured by the user to any form of immediate transmission method
(i.e. "Active log event" and/or "Distress"), the unit will also initiate communication
with the server and transmit its entire log too, while blinking the right LED (higher
priority than all other indications) green at 200mS ON and 200mS OFF pace until
completion and full shutdown.
–Buzzer will beep in 200mS ON and 800mS OFF along the first 30 seconds of the
transmission.

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.

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.

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.

Are parsed as follows:
00: nano readings
00: X= 0g , Y=0g
D1: Z= signed (0xD)= (-3) = -3*0.25g = -0.75g
E2 and 62: ADC= 0x2E2= 738 *0.25 = 184.5 lux
0D: Altitude = 13*32-400 = 16m
Example of an Type-11 message parsing
This is an example of type-11
message with the mandatory
modules and also module 28 for
conveying the actual event.

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.
Under nominal conditions, with 4 paired MultiSense units, the expected battery life of
the Nano is around 40 days.
