GlobalTrak ™ GT Lite Operation and Maintenance Manual 1.1 GT Lite Overview The GlobalTrak GT Lite enables location tracking and monitoring of assets in real-time or near real-time over GSM. Using a high sensitivity Assisted GPS receiver, this can be done from within containers or trailers with no external antenna and no need for line of sight to the sky. The GT Lite uses wired and wireless sensors to monitor asset status.
GlobalTrak ™ GT Lite Operation and Maintenance Manual GT Lite Exterior Hardware Description GT Lite case is an IP66/67 designed enclosure. The standard enclosure has one exterior connector, one keyed power switch, 4 indicator LED’s, and one light sensor. Figure 1 shows the front face of the enclosure which contains the key switch and interface connector. As shown in the figure, the key turned to ‘0’ means off and the key turned to ‘1’ means on.
GlobalTrak ™ GT Lite Operation and Maintenance Manual Charging: The Charging LED indicates the status of the battery charger. While charging, the LED will illuminate red. When charging is complete, the LED will turn off. GSM: The GSM LED indicates the status of the GSM connection. When searching for a GSM network, the LED will illuminate solid green. When a network is found, the LED will blink green. When there is no GSM activity or the device is sleeping, the LED will turn off.
GlobalTrak ™ GT Lite Operation and Maintenance Manual Figure 4 Also shown in Figure 4 is the GT Lite label. It is shown in more detail in Figure 5 below. It contains the device serial number in text as well as barcode forms, safety warning, and part number.
