CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview 4.2 CelloTrack COMM LED description 4.2.1 Overview The COMM LED is used to indicate unit cellular communication and position with a green light. The blinking pattern is constructed from cycles of 2 blinking zones each, which will be repeated by unit continually. The first zone represents the functionality of Cellular communication (GSM), the second zone – the GNSS status. Each zone will last 3 seconds with 1 second of LED off interval between them.

CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview 4.3 User Features 4.3.1 Activation When the unit is not active, upon pressing the front button for 5 seconds (long press), the unit is activated. The SYS LED lights for 5 seconds in Green, to indicate the user that the unit is active. The COMM LED performs 10 GSM/GPS indication cycles, and then is shut off. Note that after battery replacement, the unit shall be automatically activated, i.e. with no need of activation by button as described above.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview If the SOH is below (or equal to) the preprogrammed minimum - the SYS LED lights for 2 seconds in Red. 4.4 BLE Functionality The method of communication between the CelloTrack 10y and MultiSense devices is BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 2.4 GHz short range low energy wireless communication. This method of communication is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption, footprint and cost, with these three parameters the most important values within the IoT world.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview There are 2 models of MultiSense: regular devices that can measure temperature called "MultiSense", and "MultiSense-TH" devices which have a combined temperature and humidity sensor. The MultiSense device has the following sensors: Temperature sensor Humidity sensor (only in the MultiSense-TH model) Hall effect magnetic sensor Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) Accelerometer sensor The CelloTrack 10y supports up to 16 fully programmable MultiSense devices.

CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview 5 CelloTrack Operational States The unit operates in one of the following three operational states: Error! Reference source not found. (for storage and battery conservation) Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. (fully operational) Each operational state is comprised of a number of operational modes. There is an additional BOD/EOD Tracking Mode that the CelloTrack 10y can be programmed to support. 5.

Typically this is done once per day.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview The following figure shows the stages of Glancing. GPRS Dial up A successful glancing event is generated GSM Registration 30 seconds GSM t GNSS Glancing begins t GPS has successfully accomplished an acquisition or the GPS timeout has expired Glancing ends 2 minutes minimum The current consumption in Glancing depends on the distance to the GSM communication base and communication network conditions.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview opens a distress session, sends a “start motion” message, and returns to Hibernation. When no further motion is detected, the unit opens a distress session, sends a “stop motion” message, and returns to Hibernation. This is known as start-stop reporting during Hibernation. 5.3 Tracking State By default, the unit is configured to enter the Tracking state when motion is detected and to exit Tracking when motion ends. This is done to conserve battery power.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview You can configure the unit to work in one of the following tracking modes, and which are described in the following sections: Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. Improved (Take Location) Tracking Mode BOD/EOD Tracking Mode 5.3.1 Live Tracking The unit is fully active and sends periodic updates to the server. This is not the default tracking mode. 5.3.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview Start Event Time Event Time Event Time Event TE Timeout Communication t GPS Power t GPS Fix received Programmable time (60 sec by default) 5.3.3 Offline Tracking Auto Upload In this tracking mode the unit collects all updates during a trip and sends them all together at the end of the trip (the GNSS remains active). When motion is detected and offline tracking has been enabled, the unit powers up its modem and sends a start motion update.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview 5.3.4 Improved (Take Location) Tracking Mode This mode is based on the not-live-tracking mode and allows the unit to add and log extra locations between transmissions. Since the entire system is hibernating most of the time, the battery life is prolonged. In this mode, the unit behaves as follows: Checks power lines, button state changes, motion and MultiSenses (if programmed to) once per second and logs them efficiently.
CelloTrack LTE Plus Overview If the movement continues for more than the programmed time and the distance from the latest known EOD location is larger than the programmed value – the BOD is detected. The unit transmits a BOD message as well as all logged messages. During the trips, short stops generate stop and start events which are logged. When movement is stopped for more than the programmed time - EOD is detected.
