CU-08 TRACER unit
1. Unit description
The
CU-08 unit
is a device which uses a GPS receiver to detect the
position of a car, a motorcycle or cargo. The position can be
ascertained any time via a single SMS command or when the ignition
is on, the unit can continuously send it via a GSM network to a data-
collection server where the data is further processed into a vehicle log
book. Simply said, the unit can be used both for passive locating when
it only answers a single command, and for the continuous
transmission of real-time data to a data-collection server. If the attempt
to send the data fails, the unit saves it in its internal memory and
sends it later.
Journey commencement –
turning the ignition key on activates
the GPS module in the unit which starts assessing its position
immediately. The journey starting is signalled by a lit LED which is
then lit permanently for the whole duration of the journey.
Journey termination –
the journey is terminated automatically
20 seconds after turning the ignition key off. If the key is turned on
again within this period of time, the journey will not be split into two
separate parts. This feature eliminates splitting the journey in two,
e.g. when the engine stalls during acceleration from standstill and
the driver restarts it immediately.
2. Unit installation and connection
2.1. Unit installation
The unit should be installed in the vehicle interior by a professional
company. It is suitable for vehicles with a 12V or 24 V power supply
and a negative earth.
Disconnect the battery before installation. Nobody should be inside
a vehicle equipped with airbags while handling the battery. Some
devices equipped with a memory (clock, configurations, etc) could be
erased when the battery is disconnected. Avoid drilling into metal parts
of the car body during installation. The manufacturer shall not be held
liable for any damage caused by incorrect or unsuitable installation of
the product.
When making connections, use a crimping tool fit for this purpose. If
you do not need some of the wire in the unit wiring, cut it 10 cm from
the connector, insulate it and fix it in a bundle with tape.
