LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY PACK

ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT CHARACTERISTICS The battery charger circuit charges each of the 2 internal batteries independently.

Each battery is protected against over and under voltage, current, and heat as it relates to charging.

Each internal battery cuts off at 2.7V and completes charge at 4.2V.

The charge rate is set for approximately 4 hours as this set up reduces charge heat significantly.

It will only charge the battery as required. It is possible for the charger only to have to turn on after a month or even two months for 4 hours to charge the battery then turn back off for a month or two.

Typically, Lithium Ion batteries will lose 20% of their capacity per year regardless of whether the battery sits on a shelf or is charged appropriately.

CALCULATING BATTERY LIFE:

An 1100mAH battery connected to a device drawing 1mA will last 1100 hours. The same battery drawing 10ma will last 110hours.

The power sport device draws approximately 4.8ma when the device is not moving and will last 230 hours.

The same power sport device if continually moving will draw approximately 40ma and last 27 hours.

DEVICE FEATURES - DETAIL

Asset Alarm- Triggered when the Alarm Input is activated

Assert Output- Will engage an optional output feature

Battery Disconnect- Triggered when the primary power source is disconnected. If the

device is disconnected from the power source of the vehicle battery and it has a backup battery installed, it will send a message indicating the loss of main power. The backup battery will then take over to power the device. (Backup battery is required for this feature)

Battery Low- Configuration that allows the device to send a message if the battery

voltage drops below a set threshold. The default setting is currently set at 10.3 Volts.

Config. Read- This allows you to read a device specific configuration which has

previously been set.

Config. Write- Write (and save) device specific programming

Clear Geofence- This feature will clear (erase) any Geofence assigned to a particular device/vehicle.

Daylight Savings- Allows the time to be adjusted according to different time zones

and daylight savings changes.

Device Softkill- This will command the device to no longer send messages until a

Device Resurrect message is sent to the device.

Device Status- Report showing the specific device details for an exact point in time.

This will let you know if the gps module is currently talking on the network and how strong this signal is.

Disengage Starter- This feature will disable the vehicles ability to start. The vehicle

will be rendered immobile and will not start unless the Re-engage Starter command is sent. This is used commonly to help keep a vehicle from moving until a recovery team can reach it or payment is received. (Special Installation Required)

De-assert Output- Will cancel an optional output feature.

Device Reset- This feature will reset the device.

Enable Beeper- Audible alarm that can be preconfigured to pulse at set intervals.

When the beeper is activated, and the vehicle enters an en route state (aka. once the vehicle is started and begins to move) it will pulse for 30 seconds. This is commonly used as a payment reminder to the customer. It can be activated/deactivated using the Send Tab. (Special parts and installation required)

Endpoints- This feature monitors every time a vehicle starts and stops. Once a vehicle

begins to move (en route) it will send a START message. Once the vehicle is stopped for 5 minutes it will send an END (arrival) message. (Triggered when the device is en-route or upon the arrival of the device.)

Enroute Time – This feature can be configured to send a message if the device is en

route (moving) continuously for a set amount of time. Current options are every 10 minutes, every 30 minutes, or OFF.

Geomarker- This feature can be set up as a radius, or a multi polygon. The device can

be configured to send a message if it enters or exits a set boundary. This is used to monitor if a vehicle leaves the state it was leased in or if you want to know when a device enters an area.

Get Engine Hours Count- Requests the vehicles total engine hours.

Get Odometer Count- Will request the vehicles current odometer reading.

Heartbeat Interval - Predetermined status update programmed at a set interval as

long as the device has power. Default setting is in 168 hour increments. (Does not use exchanges from customers exchange pool)

Historical Data- Stealth 2 devices hold 90 days of information that can be accessed

using this feature. If the user wants to know where a device was located at a specific time within the last 90 days, they can enter the date/time and it will recover the information that the device had at that exact moment. (Ex: If an accident happened two weeks ago on a Sunday at 8:15 am, you can perform a historical data request and see the details of that exact moment in time. As well as before and after.)

Idling Alarm- An alarm triggered when the vehicle has been idling for longer than the

preconfigured time. (Idling is when the vehicles ignition is on but the vehicle is not moving.)

Ignition On Time- Alert triggered when a vehicle ignition is on longer than a preset

amount of time.

Interval Tracking- This feature allows you to set a device to send messages at

specific preset intervals. Interval setting can be set to send a message every 15 min., 30 min., 60 min., 4hrs. 24 hrs., 10 days and 30 days.

o Interval Tracking On- Will enable any interval tracking features programmed

to the device. (device specific using Config write)

o Interval Tracking Off- Will temporarily disable any interval tracking features

programmed to the device. (device specific using Config write)

Locate- This feature will provide you with a current location of the vehicle which

includes longitude/latitude, speed and direction in which the device is traveling or stationary. Once the request is complete, which can take up to 2 minutes. (you will see a satellite image of the vehicles current location, red – stationary, green – en route)

Odometer Distance- This feature will allow the device to send a message at preset

odometer intervals. (Commonly used for vehicle factory maintenance or oil changes.) Settings include every 1k, 3k and 5k. miles.

Re-engage Starter- This command when sent to a device will allow the vehicle to start

again and function as it normally would. (Used commonly as a payment reminder or for repo)

Set Geofence- This feature will set a geofence around the current location of a vehicle

when request was sent. A geofence is a preset radius around a specific area or zone and will remain until it is cleared. Default setting is currently .5 miles. If the vehicle exits a geofence, it will send a “Geofence Exited” alert. Optional settings are a .5 miles, 5 miles, or 10 mile radius. It uses 1 exchange when triggered. A geofence will reset each time the vehicle re-enters a geofence and a minimum time of 5 minutes has elapsed since the last alert. (Device Specific)

Speed Exceeded- Alert triggered when a device exceeds the speed threshold for

more than 30 seconds. This will reset once the device is motionless for 5 minutes. It can be set between 40 and 120 mph, or turned off. (Device Specific)

Space Time Resume- Will resume pre-configured Space Time configurations.

Space Time Circle 1- Allows the user to program a device to recognize a Circular

Geomarker. And will trigger notification messages to be sent if the entered or exited the area.

Space Time Circle Polygon- This feature allows the user to program a device to

recognize a Multi-Polygonal Geomarker. And will trigger alert notifications to be sent once the vehicle has entered or exited the polygon. (Located under the send tab, click on Config write)

Stop Verifier On- This feature, once activated, will send a locate 4 hours after a

vehicle has stationary, and will do so 8 times. This helps to gather data on where the vehicle is located when it is not used. (Located under the send tab, click on Config write)

Stop Verifier Off- This will deactivate the Stop Verifier feature. (Located under the

send tab, click on Config write)

Stationary/Stop- Will send an alert once the vehicle is idle or stopped for a pre-

configured amount of time. (Commonly used to monitor excess fuel consumption on fleet vehicles and other applications.)

Unlock Doors- This feature can unlock the vehicles doors. (Special Installation /

additional parts Required for each device utilizing this feature)
