GPS&GPRS PERSONAL TRACKING GT2000 OPERATION MANUAL
1REV: 2.3 (Standard, GT2000V3.1, GT2000-D2) I. BRIEF INTRODUCTION Personal Tracking System utilizes the GPS and GPRS functions in one unit. You can monitor the vehicle or the people 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 the “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. GT-2000 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, GT-2000 can select related reporting modes with respect to it is moving or not. The device has built-in 4 Geofences and one immediate Geofences (in circular shapes), it will send the report to the server if the Geofence 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 three main sections that allow users to program the device, (1) User detail (Device ID, server IP, and port, GPRS APN….) (2) Geo-fence (5 circular Geo-fence) (3) Report (Time, Distance, speed, Low battery, wakeup …) A unique help report: user can press the Button 3 for 2 seconds after the unit power on. The unit will send the help report to server, power LED flash 5 times at the same time. 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. GT-2000 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. On the left side, there are two buttons (+button and –button) used to change the ring volume. Push +button for 2sec. to select shock, ring or ring &shock together modes. Recharge battery need three hours, after finish recharging, Power LED will change to green.
2 Call Monitoring: user can send a SMS that included the preset password of the unit. GT-2000 will send “PASS” SMS ACK back, unit will auto answer the phone in the following 5 minutes. 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, GPRS signal and GPS signal. SYSTEM LED: to refer the IV. BUTTON OPERATION YELLOW LED: GSM/GPRS indicator. Yellow 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. GREEN LED: GPS indicator. This LED will be continuously on when the unit received a valid GPS data. Note that the YELLOW and GREEN LEDs indication will not be valid until the system goes to the working mode, normally 30 seconds after power on. II. BASIC FUNCTIONS FUNCTIONS APPLICATIONS GPS GPS receiver will output a complete position, velocity, and time (PVT) solution in the NMEA Version 3.0 protocol GPRS, SMS GPRS use standard TCP or UDP communicate protocol. If the GPRS service is failed, the SMS mode will be turned on for emergency use. Button Power button Three Buttons for call, Help, SOS….(right side) Two buttons control volume of ring and sound.

To activate the function(s), please select “√” in checkbox and fill in data in the textbox. There are 2 modes for the GT-2000, first is the Normal mode, and second is the Power saving mode. In the normal mode, the GPS will be always activated if GT-2000 is in moving state. However, if in Power saving mode, GT-2000 will turn off the GPS power if there is no report to send. Note that user can configure the wakeup report if the device is in “stop” (not moving) state. Normal mode, report will be summarized as: (1) Fixed time report Parameters: On/Off, and time. (2) Fixed distance report Parameters: On/Off, and distance. (min. distance is 0.1 km, max. distance is 100 km). (3)Keep alive report Parameters: On/Off, and interval time, retry times Keep alive enable, system will send out keep alive information to server and wait acknowledge from server. If within the certain request period, there is no acknowledge back, the system will close the connection and will establish a new connection. The parameters includes the keep alive “interval”, and within this interval the retry “times”.
9Emergency request report: If the user does not set the keep alive, GT-2000 might lose the GPRS connection (if it is been cut by the Network). The system will not actively re-connect to server, it will wait for a new trigger (or report) and then start the connection / then send to the server. Special command for SMS mode: If the GT-2000 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. &&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. (3)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, GT-2000 will follow the report sending rule in “When Moving” section. Power saving mode While in Power saving mode, GT-2000 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. 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:
10 To determine whether GT-2000 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, GT-2000 will be in moving mode. Otherwise, it will be in stop mode.
