REV: 2.8 (Standard, HEU-v4.0, HEU-I)
I . BRIEF INTRODUCTION
GPS GPRS Tracking and Alarm System utilize the GPS and car alarm functions in one unit. You can monitor
the vehicle location and control the car alarm remotely. In addition, the unit will send event report if any
trigger occurs. It has built-in 2 outputs and 5 inputs to perform essential alarm functions.
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) report configuration parameters, and (8) event number.
The reporting mode can be categorized as ‘time’ report, ‘distance’ report, or ‘intelligent’ report. User can
choose the reporting mode and related parameters via the PC setup program or the remote server.
The device has built-in 9 Geofence and 1 Self Geofence sets in circular shape; it will send the report to the
server if the Geofence event is triggered.
The UNIT must be initialized by PORTMAN 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) Geofence (9 circular Geofence and 1 Self Geofence,) (3)
Report (Time, Distance, Intelligent mode, Low battery, Course change…) (4) ALARM Setup (to enable or
disable the event generated by the inputs, e.g. ACC…and set the conditions for sleep mode) Those data is
saved in device’s EEPROM and will not be lost even if the power is failure.
A unique Self-Geofence report: user can press the Self-Geofence button to turn On or Off the self-Geofence
function. The system will record the current position and use a pre-defined circular Geofence radius to guard
the vehicle. If the vehicle moves out of the Geofence zone, a report will be sent.
When there is no GPRS service or the server is offline, the unit will send SMS report to the SMS number if
defined. And the number of short message can be set from the pc setup program or remote setup program.
After connect the server, all the report will be sent out again.
The server can not only configure the device just like the PC setup program does, but it also can send the
command to control the device. The unit can communicate with the server via UDP, TCP or SMS protocol.
Flash memory for recording reports up to 900 reports. It can be read out from the PC setup program via serial
port.
User configurable sleep mode:
The unit will go to sleep mode when ACC off, this feature is configurable. “GPS” or “GPRS” can be selected
to power off. Also you can select both of them go to sleep mode. User can setup the automatically wakeup
time during the sleep mode to ensure the device is working. The system can send out a wakeup report to the
server after waking up.
During the sleep mode, if any of the inputs are triggered, the system will wake up and send relevant reports to
the server. The input triggers for waking the device up are selectable.
All the auto report (Time, Distance, Intelligent…) will not be send when ACC off.

In addition, the system has a built-in rechargeable battery (12V 1.2A/H) for emergency use. The system will
send an emergency “power cut” report when all of the external power is removed. User can check the external
battery capacity status from the server. There system has another important security function-GPS Antenna
Presence Detection. The system will send an emergency “GPS antenna failed” report when the GPS antenna is
removed

ALARM report
Alarm report(s) is also configurable. User can customize the events generated by the in-vehicle input to be sent
to the server. To enable the particular trigger reports by click the box.
Sleep mode (when ACC OFF)
(1) HEU can go to sleep mode when ACC goes off. (The average lasting time after ACC OFF is 5 minutes.) In
sleep mode, both GPS & GPRS will be disabled.
All the auto report (Time, Distance, Intelligent…) will not be send when ACC goes off.
(2) During the sleep mode, the system can wait up automatically and send a wake up diagnostic report.
(3) The automatic wakeup time is configurable. (Minimum duration is 5 minutes; maximum duration is 1000
Hours).
(4) If any of the inputs are triggered while in the sleep mode, the system will wake up automatic report and then
send reports to the server. The input triggers for waking the device up are selectable. If the GPRS connection is
failed, for emergency purpose, HEU will send out SMS report if number is defined.
[Button description]
(1)Initialize: clear all saved parameters in HEU.
(2) Request All: request all parameters that is saved previously in HEU
(3) Request: request parameters in the current page
(4) Apply: set the parameters in the current page
(5) Apply All: save all the parameters into HEU
(6) Load: load the saved configuration file (*.heu)
(7) Save: save the parameters into a files (*.heu).
(8) Exit: exit the PC-Setup program; the system will exit the PC setup mode into the working mode.
INTERNAL BATTERY PROTECT MECHANISM:
To protect internal battery, we added a mechanism to HEU, when the internal battery voltage drop to 9v,HEU will keep to
detect battery voltage for 2 minutes, if the battery voltage keep 9v continuously during this 2 minutes period. HEU will
send a “battery shut down event” to server to notice user. After this event is sending out, HEU only can work another 30
minutes.
After HEU goes into “battery shut down” mode, HEU will check the battery continuously, if the battery charges to 12v
for 2 hours, it can work again.
