Introduction Thank you for your purchasing the CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker. We are very pleased to introduce you our excellent product, and you will enjoy great benefits by applying such a smart device. The CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker is an all-in-one device that integrates multiple applications of GPS (Global Position System), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) with each other. Designed with the latest GPS technology, the CAREU U3 delivers positioning message by GSM wireless transmission to GIS platform, and then helps back-end users proceed with the analysis and the applications of vehicle transport, management, anti-theft, security and tracking. 1.1 Features • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Chapter 1 Multiple serial ports and easy installation. Voices, FTP, SMS, GPRS TCP/UDP Communications Geo-fencing reports (circular/polygon/rectangle zones) Remote configuration Real-time tracking (time, distance interval or intelligent mode, and heading) Intelligent power management 1-Wire® interfaces supported (optional) Power low/lost alarm Built-in voice communication Built-in interactive voice response Journey report wireless download GSM/GPRS simultaneously User-defined reports Firmware upgrade over the air (via GPRS from FTP) GPS antenna disconnect/cut alarm Up to 150,000 data log capacity CAN-bus support (optional) CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker User Guide 1.2 Scope This document will guides you to start the CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker. However, as this document contains basic device configuration only, please see the CAREU U3 Protocol Document for the advanced information. 1.3 About CAREU U3 The CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker transmits the wireless signals such as location, peripheral, and vehicle control data to a control center. The onboard GPS receiver provides users with location data including speed, direction, mileage and altitude. It uses an onboard GSM/ GPRS module to accomplish wireless transmission. A microcontroller can probe location and command data at regular intervals, derive actions from location, peripheral and control data, and execute such actions. Among the best features of the CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker, in particular, they transmit data in ASCII mode (Intellitrac X Series compatible mode) or binary mode. Peripheral data indicates the status of various peripherals connected to and/or controlled by the device. The peripherals include, but not limited to, door locks/un-locks, starter interrupt, ignition, battery, engine and panic button. The firmware in the device applies intelligent filtering to overcome coverage limitations for both GPS and GSM/GPRS networks. Motion sensor controls the status of the device, whether in sleep, idle or fully-powered mode, and thereby controls the amount of current consumed by the device. Backup battery and tamper sensing GPS Antennas primarily indicate the loss of Main Power and the interruption of GPS antenna connectivity. The device supports over-the-air firmware upgrade to deliver additional functionality without physically touching the device once installed. In consideration of technicality and marketability, the CAREU U3 has so many excellences to be competitive enough to stand out in the market. With regard to the technicality, the CAREU U3 saves and records more data even under inactive communication staus, and it also provides better power management, coexistence of GPRS and SMS modes, 1-Wire® interface, direct connection to Temperature Sensor, and up to three serial ports. When it comes to the marketability, the CAREU U3 users are provided with the convenience that its firmware can be upgraded through mini USB without disassembling the device. Chapter 1 CAREU U3 Vehicle Tracker User Guide 1.4 Hardware Architecture As hardware is concerned, the CAREU U3 is comprised of a micro-controller, regulator, GPS receiver, GSM/GPRS modem, G-Force sensor, flash memory data storage, audio interface, I/Os interface, serial ports and LED status indicators.
