GPS&GPRS CONTAINER TRACKING SYSTEM
MODEL: CTS-100 SERIES
OPERATION / INSTALLATION MANUAL
I. BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Container Tracking System utilizes the GPS and GPRS functions in one unit. You can monitor the container or
the vehicle 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 “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. CTS-100 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, CTS-100 can select related reporting
modes with respect to it is moving or not.
The device has built-in 4 Geo-fences; it will send the report to the server if the Geo-fence 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 four main sections that allow users to program the device, (1) User detail (Device ID,
server IP, and port, GPRS APN….) (2) Geo-fence (4 circular Geo-fence) (3) Report (Time, Distance, speed,
Low battery, wakeup …) (4)Trigger report(Tamper ,Door)
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.
CTS-100 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.
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:
Power indicator: When the unit power on, the led will flash 1time/3sec by green. If the power has low status,
the LED will change to red. when the battery charge ok then power LED will change to green. If tamper switch
is triggered, the power indicator will flash twice continuously; if door sensor is triggered, the power indicator
will flash 5 times continuously
GPS indicator: LED is GREEN when the unit has acquired a valid GPS signal, and it will flash when the unit is
searching GPS signal.
GSM/GPRS indicator: Orange 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.
Note that the GSM/GPRS and GPS LED’s indication will not be valid until the system goes to the working
mode, normally 30 seconds after power on.
II. The main unit’s housing with Strong Magnetic Gives You Easy Instant Install Placement!
Just like we put you in control on how and when your CTS-100 reports to you with your own online controls,
we also put YOU in control of how you want your CTS-100 installed on any container or vehicle.
In addition, the unit has built-in door magnetic sensor, it used to detect the container door status.

(4) GPS wakeup report:
While the device is in stop status, user can let the GPS go to sleep mode for power saving. If select GPS sleep
ON, user can setup the wakeup report configuration/ or NO GPS wakeup report.
IF select GPS SLEEP OFF, CTS-100 will follow the report sending rule in “When Moving” section.
Power saving mode
While in Power saving mode, CTS-100 will cut off the GPS power if there is no report to send.
Report configuration will be listed as: the fixed time report while moving, and wakeup report / or no GPS
wakeup report while stop. In this mode, in order to save power unit will cut power of GPS, only wake up GPS
at the time of send report.
GPRS dial-up procedure
1) GPRS always one-line
Parameters: Reconnect interval
While using this mode, when the unit can not searched GPRS signal, system will reconnect GPRS interval a
preset value. (e.g.: 1minute)
14
2) Base on report mode
Parameters: Max. reconnect times, reconnect interval
While using this mode, the unit will connect to the server when there is a report to send. If the first connection
is failed, it will retry to connect to the server up to the max. reconnect times. Each retry will be separated by the
reconnect “interval”.
3) GPRS connect once
While using this mode, the unit will connect to the server when there is a report to send (but only try once). If it
is not successful, the report will be stored and sent out in the next successful connection. Disconnect GPRS
connection when report sending is completed.
4) Reduce GPRS dialup method
Parameters: On/Off, Max. reconnect times, connect delay
If this method is used, the unit will reduce the GPRS dial-up connection when the dial-up is failed after number
of times. User can define the delay time for the unit before try to reconnect to the server. If there is trigger
report, the unit will connect to server immediately.
Keep alive procedure
Parameters: On/Off, and interval / retry times. In order to keep connection in GPRS network, the unit can be set
to send short keep alive report to the server in order to prevent the disconnection from the mobile service
provider.
Send reports after a successful keep alive ACK. Parameters: On/Off .
If you select this function, all the reports will only be sent out after a successful keep alive ACK. (So if your
keep alive time is shorter then select this function will be OK.) This function is very useful while using UDP to
prevent report lost.
Send a keep alive packet right before a due reports if no data stream within certain time: Parameters: On/Off,
and idle time.
Some GSM provider might cut connection, if there is no data within certain time. It might result report lost in
this “fake connection” duration. For example, you can set parameters in this region, ex 20 mins. (it means if the
unit did not send any data in this 20 mins (including keep alive or normal reports) ), then it will send a keep
alive packet to check if the GPRS connection is valid or not. If not, it will actively reconnect to GPRS network.
Special command for SMS mode:
If the CTS-100 is not in the GPRS online status, user can send command &&Y02 or &&Y04 to ask unit to
connect to server. This command can be sent from any device via SMS;
&&Y02:
When received this command, system will actively try to connect to server in next 600 seconds.
15
&&Y04,[connection time],[report interval]:
For example: &&Y04,3600,60
When received this command, system will connect to server in the next 3600 seconds, and send one report
out every 60 seconds.
Low battery report:
Low battery warning report (to alert user when the external battery level is low)
Parameters: On/Off, and warning battery level for report. For example, 30 to represent 30% lower level report.
The system will ignore the parameter with a value ‘0’ to prevent continuous non-stop reporting. Low battery,
unit will cut power of GPS, only call function will be activated.
Acceleration sensor:
To determine whether CTS-100 is moving or not, user can select the sensitivity of the “acceleration sensor”. It
is distinguished by the tilt angle of the device. If the unit tilted more than the degree set here, CTS-100 will be
in moving mode. Otherwise, it will be in stop mode. The smaller the parameter of degree for the sensor set in
pc-setup is, the higher the sensitivity is. Otherwise, the result is the opposite.
You can select the Acceleration sensor trigger report to be sent or not, while the unit is moved. “Select” (by
click), the related reports will be sent. Otherwise the report will be ignored, when the device is moved.

4. [Trigger report setup]
The unit has built-in door magnetic sensor and tamper switch, user can select if send report when the door
sensor and tamper switch has triggered.
1.door sensor :It will send out event reports when door on or off.
2.Tamper switch: the tamper switch is used to check the box of host, when the box of host is moved over, it will
send out a relevant report.
