7.1 Sending Records Using GPRS

Sending information using GPRS service is primary function of the device. Record contains

information such as: time, GPS position, vehicle's status information and other event data.

Content of the record is fully configurable using device setup.

All records can be classified in two categories:

Records with regular GPS position data, generated by intelligent sending algorithm.

Asynchronous records containing event data.

7.1.1 Sending Regular GPS Data

Tracking vehicle using electronic maps is possible only if device periodically sends GPS

position data. This period is determined by passed time, traveled distance and intelligent

sending algorithm.

Device built-in expert system takes many parameters into account to resolve best time for

sending GPS position data. Main goal is to minimize amount of sent data and to have

optimized track on map. Device will send GPS data if following conditions are met:

As soon as device receives first valid GPS position (only on startups, and in case of

losing GPS signal in tunnels, garages and etc.),

Vehicle stops moving (ignition key on),

Vehicle starts moving (ignition key on),

If maximum sending time from last sent position expires (ignition key on),

If maximum distance from last sent position has been traveled (ignition key on),

If intelligent sending algorithm criteria is met.

Record with regular GPS data includes time information, vehicle status, distance traveled from

device start up (wake up from power save).

7.1.2 Sending Events

Device sends event data when event occurs. Record with event data includes: event ID, time

when event occured, GPS position where event occurred, vehicle status, and event data. Event

will be sent when:

Change of state on digital inputs occurred,

Change of state on digital outputs occurred,

Over speed occurred,

Over rpm occurred,

Vehicle battery under voltage is detected,

Measurement packet is ready to be sent,

Device responds on remote commands,

Changing state of the device (reset or waking up from power save mode)…

7.2 Calculation of Distance Traveled

Using GPS data, device calculates distance traveled from first start-up to present position in

meters. Traveled distance is sent as part of regular GPS data records and with ignition on/off

message. Total error of traveled distance calculation algorithm depends on GPS reception, and

in cases when GPS signal is continuous can be less then 2%.


16

7.3 GPRS or USSD Data Sending

Fox Lite device can send data using GPRS or USSD service. Only one service can be selected

at a time. Selection is made by device configuration, locally using cable and configuration

software or remotely by remote command.

USSD service is only active if vehicle is in roaming networks and if USSD service is enabled

on device.

7.4 Data Logging

Fox Lite device logger has capacity of more than 60.000 records. Logger can be configured to

work in three different modes:

Real time sending. In this mode no record is logged unless GPRS signal is weak, GPRS

is disabled or there is no response from the server.

Data logging while in roaming. Device can be set up to log data records while device is

in roaming. Device will stop logging and send logged data as soon as vehicle enters

home GSM networks.

Sending log periodically. Device can be set up to send log with predefined time period

or at predefined day times.

7.5 Reading Data From Vehicle CAN Bus With Additional External Device

Fox Lite device can be connected to vehicle CAN bus. This connection will enable reading

telemetry data directly from vehicle board computer. For this connection, additional device is

needed. The purpose of additional device is to read data from vehicle CAN bus and to transfer

it to Fox Lite. For information about additional device, and for supported vehicle list, please

contact Fox technical support.

Depending on vehicle type, model and year of production, following parameters can be read

from device CAN bus:

All values read form vehicle CAN bus will be transmited to server in a single message. User

can set up message sending period from 10 sec to 600 sec. Exceptionally, current vehicle

speed, engine temperature, fuel level and engine RPM will also be transmitted in regular

messages in fields predefined for those values.

NOTE: If Fox device is set up to measure fuel level or RPM using analog/pulse input, those

values will overwrite values from CAN bus in regular messages. Vehicle speed obtained

across GPS will be ignored if vehicle speed is available on CAN bus.

7.6 Reading Data From Vehicle Using OBD-II Geneko Interface

Fox Lite can read vehicle OBD-II data using Geneko OBD-II interface. Geneko OBD-II

interface can be connected to Fox Lite RS-232 port. Fox Lite supports reading of following

OBD-II data: engine temperature, engine RPM, vehicle speed, fuel level, accelerator pedal

position, engine load, intake air preasure and fuel consumption. Actual set of data depends on

vehicle model and type.

OBD-II data can be read only when vehicle ignition is turned ON. When ignition is OFF

Geneko OBD-II interface will go to sleep (to low power consumption).


18

Data read from OBD-II are sent to server in form of package. Package format and content is the

same as when device reads data from vehicle CAN bus or FMS and it is described in previous

chapter. User can set up message sending period from 10 sec to 600 sec. Exceptionally, current

vehicle speed, engine temperature, fuel level and engine RPM will be transmitted in regular

messages in fields predefined for those values.

7.7 Fuel Level Measurement

Fox Lite device can measure fuel level in vehicle tank using fuel measurement sensor that is

already built in vehicle or using aditional fuel level sensor with analog or RS232 output. In

order to measure fuel level properly, device should be connected and parametrized according to

following instructions.

7.7.1 Fuel Measurement – Using Existing Fuel Sensor

When using existing fuel sensor, one of the best positions for connecting fuel measurement pin

is directly on fuel measuring sensor (i.e. buoy). The fuel measuring sensor wire is usually

brought to instrument board or it is connected to board computer of the vehicle. Since these

positions are usually closer to the position where Fox Lite is installed it is recomended to

connect it there.

When existing vehicle fuel sensor is used, there is one additional parameter that has to be set in

order to have precise measurement. That is „Fuel compensation“. This flag can have two states,

it can be turned ON or OFF. If turned OFF, device will measure and send voltage measured on

fuel level sensor. However it is possible that output voltage of fuel level sensor depends on

vehicle battery voltage. In that case compensation should be turned ON, and device will

automaticaly compensate change on fuel level sensor output according to vehicle battery level.

If this option is used, „Fuel reference(full tank) [mV]“ parameter should be set up to 12000 or

24000 depending on nominal vehicle battery voltage.

7.7.2 Fuel Measurement – Analog Mode

DC voltage from the fuel-measuring sensor is proportional (or vice versa) to fuel level. Voltage

range with full and empty tank has to be within 0 to 17 V.

Fox Lite device supports measurement on up to two fuel sensors simultaneously. In order to

use fuel level measurements, device has to be set up to use Analog Inputs (pin 5 and optional

pin 1 of Connector 1) for analog fuel measurements. Measured fuel values are sent to server in

separate packets of data.

NOTE: If user wants to use two fuel sensors(analog inputs), user needs to request that prior to

ordering, because some hardware modification must be done on device before delivery.

7.7.3 Fuel Measurement – Digital Mode

Fox Lite device supports one digital fuel level sensor with RS232 interface. There are three

types of digital fuel level measuring devices that can be used with Fox Lite:

1. Omnicomm LLS20160

2. RCS ES2

3. Technoton DUT-E-232.

Other fuel level sensors can be added upon customer request, based on large quantity order.


19

For connecting Fox Lite to digital fuel level sensors, Fox Lite Serial Cable has to be used. This

cable will provide RS232 connection with RS232 voltage levels to Fox Lite device.

In order to set up device for operation with desired fuel level sensor, adequate settings must be

done. Parameter „External device“ must be set on „3-fuel meter“ option, also parameter „Serial

port speed“ must be properly configured.

There are fuel level sensor manufacturer applications for setting fuel sensors address and this

part is independent of Fox Lite device. Also, automatic data sending on fuel sensors, must be

turned on.

Device has possibility to calculate and send to server average value of fuel sensor temperature.

Temperature samples are received from digital fuel level sensor. To enable this option device

must be configured for fuel measurement with digital fuel level sensor and parameter “Sending

fuel temperature“ must be enabled.

NOTE: If options for analog and digital fuel measuring are turned on at the same time, device

will read and send data from digital fuel sensors.

7.7.4 Fuel Measurement in Power Save

Fox Lite device has an option for fuel measurement when device wakes up from Sleep power

save state to send “WDT start“ event (see chapter 7.19 ). When this option is enabled, and after

waking up from Sleep power save state, device starts with fuel measurement. When

measurement is completed, fuel packets will be sent to server and device will be returned to

Sleep power save mode. This option can be configured to work with fuel packet and up to two

independent packet of analog fuel sensors. Also values for fuel packet can be taken from CAN

bus.

To enable this option, parameter „Fuel send in power save“ must have proper value. Value of

this parameter must be equal to sum of values that represents corresponding function. Fuel

packet corresponding with value 1, packet of analog fuel sensor 1, on analog input 1,

corresponding with value 2, packet of analog fuel sensor 2, on analog input 2, corresponding

with value 4. For example if you want to send fuel packet and packet taken from analog input

1, then parameter „Fuel sent in power save“ must be set to 3. Other measurement parameters

also must be properly configured as is described in previous subchapters.

Fuel measurement in power save has two additional functionalities. First one is fuel deficit

detection and second one is power supply for fuel sensor to reduce power consumption in sleep

power save mode.

To enable fuel deficit detection function, adequate parameter, like “Max fuel difference”, “Max

AD1 difference”, “Max AD2 difference”, must have value greater than 0, and must match the

value that is in the corresponding data packet. When device detects fuel deficit it sends event to

server and also it can send SMS to phone numbers which are specially defined in phonebook.

Also, fuel deficit detection is active in Standby state of device (when ignition key turned off),

and when ignition key is switched on and if vehicle don’t move.

To enable power supply for fuel sensor, set some GPIO as GP output configuration, and enter

„2080“ for „Output event code“ parameter. On this digital output connect relay which will turn

on or turn off power supply of fuel sensors.

7.8 Fuel Flow (Consumption) Measuring

Fox Lite device can measure fuel consumption using additional fuel flow meter. Technoton

DPT77 and Technoton DFM 250D fuel flow meter are supported in device firmware, but any

other flow meter that has pulse digital output with maximum frequency of 20 Hz can be used.


20

Fuel flow meter output has to be connected to Digital GP input_1 or Digital GP input_4 pin of

Connector 1. For corresponding pin, choose „fflow“ for GPIOX parameter.

Fox Lite will count number of pulses in 10 s period. When 20 values are collected, special

message that contains all measured values will be sent to server.

7.9 Engine RPM Measurement

Fox Lite device can measure vehicle engine RPM if such signal is avaliable on vehicle

electrical instaltion.

Engine RPM measurement is performed by counting the pulses generated with each rotation of

the engine. Number of pulses per single rotation depends on the type of engine RPM sensor. In

order to provide exact value for RPM, parameter „RPM multiplier“ has to be set up. This

parameter defines number of impulses per rotation multiplied by 10. This parameter can be set

up in range from 1 to 65536. Value is determined by measuring the frequency on RPM wire.

Measured frequency should be multiplied by 600 and then divided with current RPM (read on

vehicle instrument).

In order for RPM measurement to function properly, the signal for RPM must meet the

following conditions:

1. Voltage VL must be less than 0.5 V,

2. Voltage VH must be more than 4 V,

3. Time intervals tL and tH must be longer than 0.05 ms.

RPM signal has to be connected to Digital GP input_1 or Digital GP input_4 pin of Connector

1. For corresponding pin, choose „RPM“ in GPIOX parameter.

7.10 Driver Identification Using iButton

Fox Lite device has driver identification feature using iButton keys. iButton keys are unique for

each driver. There are two possible ways to use this feature. In first case device will react on

any iButton code, and in other it will react only if corresponding iButton code is in device's

white list.

iButton functionality can be turned on in iButton tab by setting „iButton identify“ option on. If

user wants to use iButton with verifying code in white list, „iButton verify“ option should also

be set on.

When driver leans his iButton key to the reader, Fox Lite device sends iButton code to the

server via GPRS. By unique iButton code, operater knows which driver uses the vehicle.

Driver logs off the system in the same way as he logs on. If driver forgets to log off the system,

Fox Lite device will log him off automatically 30 sec after turning ignition key off.

For visual indication of the log on - log off status there is LED that can have one of following

states:

VH

VL

t

U

tH tL


21

Turned off if driver is logged on

Blinking in refresh rate of 2 s if driver is not logged on

Blinking in refresh rate of 0.5 s for 4 s after successful log on

Additonaly, iButton can work together with engine block function. To activate this feature,

enter „out“ for „GPIO1“, „2050“ for „Output 1 (low) event code“ and „1-ibutton“ for „Engine

block trigger“ parameter. If activated, engine block function is triggered either by change in

driver identify state (deblocked on login, blocked on logout) or by manual setting of selected

output (logic high – blocked, logic low – deblocked). The manual switch is available through

SMS command SO0. GPIO2 can also be used for this feature, but in that case connection

description for engine block is different than explained in this document.

Restrictions:

Default engine state is unblocked. If driver identification is disabled, engine will remain

unblocked.

Engine can not be blocked manually while contact key is present, due to a possible

safety issues. In this case, command message will be ignored until contact key is

switched off for at least 30 sec.

Following picture is connection of iButton reader to Fox Lite:

NOTE: This picture is relevant only for iButtons purchased from Geneko company

7.11 Driver Identification Using RFID card

Fox Lite device has driver identification feature using RFID cards. RFID card code is unique

for each driver. To use this option, SL032 Mifare RFID reader is required. SL032 RFID reader

can be connected to Fox Lite using device serial port. RFID functionality can be turned on by

setting „External device“ parameter on „4-rfid“.

Fox Lite can be configured to verify code in white list or to proceed with operation without

code verification. RFID white list can be created or modified using Fox Configurator aplication

or by remote commands which are described in chapter 10.2. Use of white list can be turned on

or off by setting „RFID identify“ parameter.

When driver leans his RFID card to the reader, Fox Lite device sends RFID card code to the

server via GPRS. By unique RFID card code, operater knows which driver uses the vehicle.

Driver logs off the system in the same way as he logs on. If driver forgets to log of the system,

Fox Lite device will log him off automatically 30 sec after turning ignition key off.

For visual indication of the log on - log off status there is LED that can have one of following

states:

Turned off if driver is logged on.

Blinking in refresh rate of 2 s if driver is not logged on.

Blinking in refresh rate of 0.5 s for 2 s after successful log on or log off.

Additonaly, RFID can work together with engine block function. To activate this feature, enter

„out“ for „GPIO1“, „2050“ for „Output 1 (low) event code“ and „2-rfid“ for „Engine block


22

trigger“ parameter. If activated, engine block function is triggered either by change in driver

identify state (unblocked on login, blocked on logout) or by manual setting of selected output

(logic high – blocked, logic low – unblocked). The manual switch is available through SMS

command SO0. GPIO2 can also be used for this feature, but in that case connection description

for engine block is different than explained in this document.

Restrictions:

Default engine state is unblocked. If driver identification is disabled, engine will remain

unblocked.

Engine can not be blocked manually while contact key is present, due to a possible

safety issues. In this case, command message will be ignored until contact key is

switched off for at least 30 sec.

7.12 Vehicle Battery Under Voltage Detection and Protection

When device detects low vehicle battery voltage (lower then the value specified in “Protection

level [mV]“ (LVP) parameter) the „Main battery voltage“ event is generated. When normal

vehicle battery voltage restores the „Main battery voltage“ event will be generated again.

Additionaly, device supports over discharge protection options to protect vehicle's battery from

over discharging. Over discharge option is active when ignition is switched off and vehicle

battery voltage is lower then the value specified in “Protection level [mV]“ (LVP) parameter.

Fox Lite will exit protection state if ignition key is switched on or when battery voltage is

restored. Device will wake up from protection state every 10 minutes to check if vehicle battery

voltage is restored.

7.13 Geo-fencing

Fox Lite device has Geo-fencing feature. This feature provides to user real time information

from device if vehicle enters or leaves predefined zones.

By shape zones can be rectangular or circular. Rectangular zone is defined by two corner

points. Circular zone is defined by center and radius.

By purpose, zones can be multiple or single. Single zone will be erased from device zone list as

soon as it is breached. Multiple zones can be erased only by remote commands.

Zones can be triggered on entering the zone, exiting the zone or both. Up to 70 Geo-fencing

zones can be stored in device memory.

7.14 Remote Parameter Setup

Fox Lite parameters can be set up remotely from cell phone, using SMS. Device accepts

commands only from phone numbers who are specially defined in phone book or number

defined as “Server Phone Number”. Command format for remote parameter change is given in

chapters 11 .

7.15 Remote Executive Commands

Device is able to execute remote commands from phone book numbers or “Server Phone

Number” (sent by SMS). Here is the list of possible actions, see chapter 11 for details:

Remote firmware update,

Activate/deactivate device outputs,


23

7.16 Remote Firmware Update

Firmware in Fox Lite can be updated remotely. Firmware can be updated while device is in

regular operating condition. During that time device will stop with regular work.

Firmware updating procedure can be initiated by remote command using SMS message or from

server using GPRS. Device parameters are not going to be changed after performing remote

firmware update. In case new firmware is using new parameter (one that did not exist in

previous firmware version), one will be created and will be set to default value.

Time for firmware update varies from 2 to 5 min depending on GPRS signal quality and size of

files that had to be downloaded from update server.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended not to send messages or make phone calls to device while it

is in firmware update procedure. Also, although it is possible, don’t send multiple

commands in SMS message with firmware update command.

Firmware update results on feedback SMS message:

Update ok (N) – firmware successfully updated

Update error (N) – error during firmware update

N is internal state code and has no importance for users.

7.17 Parameter (Device Configuration) Backup in SIM Card Memory

Device keeps parameters (configuration) in its own nonvolatile memory. Also, copy of all

parameters is kept in SIM card memory. Regarding SIM card memory capacity, phonebook,

iButtons white list, geo-fencing zones and RFID white list will also be stored in SIM card

memory. Before SIM card is inserted in device, user can setup device to restore (overwrite)

parameters which are in device nonvolatile memory with ones from SIM card memory. After

user inserts SIM card and powers up device, parameter restore will take place as it is described.

Once restore is done, it will not take place again until user again set up device to restore

parameters from SIM card.


24

This option is very useful if it is necessary to replace malfunctioned device in field. Thus, all

parameters from malfunctioned device can be restored to new device using SIM card from

malfunctioned device.

7.18 Data Formats

Device can be configured to use one of three public sending protocols for sending data to

server:

binary, communication protocol code 1

XML, communication protocol code 2

auth+ack binary, communication protocol code 3

7.19 Advanced Power Save Option

Power save function is designed to reduce power consumption of the device when the vehicle

is not in use. After parking the vehicle (when ignition key is switched off) device will go to

power save mode. Power consumption in this mode is reduced.

NOTE: If internal battery needs to be charged, power consumption will still be significant until

battery is fully charged.

There are 9 parameters that affect Power Save mode:

Protection level [mV]. Vehicle battery over-discharge option is active when ignition

key is switched off and vehicle battery voltage is lower then the value specified in

“Protection level [mV]“ (LVP) parameter.

Power save time [min]. After ignition key off, device will go from PowerOn state to

Standby state immediately. Functionality on Standby state is same as PowerOn state.

From Standby state device will go to Sleep state when time defined by “Power save

time [min]” parameter expired. In Sleep state GPS module is active if “GPS always

on“ parameter is enabled. In Sleep state device doesn't send any records using GPRS

but GSM receiver is in stand by mode, allowing reception of incoming voice calls and

SMS messages. When device is in Sleep state, Power Save mode is active. If

parameter “Power save time [min]” has value 0 power save options are inactive.

Power save wake up time [min]. Device wakes up from Sleep state and go to Send

state when time defined by “ Power save wake up time [min]“ parameter expired. In

Send state device turn on all modules and sends GPS position to server like “WDT

start“ event. After successfully sent position device go back to Sleep state. If device

can not send position during time defined by “Sending timeout [s]” parameter, it will

save position to log memory and go back to Sleep state.

Hibernation enable. If “Hibernation enable” parameter is enabled, device can go to

Deep Power Save mode. Otherwise Deep Power Save mode is disabled.

Hibernate time[h]. If “Hibernation enable” parameter is enabled, device will go to

Hibernate state when ignition key is switched off and time defined by “Hibernate

time [h]“ parameter expires. In Hibernate state, only GSM receiver is in stand by

mode, allowing reception of incoming voice calls and SMS messages. Other modules

are powered down. When device is in Hibernate state, Deep Power Save mode is

active.

Sending timeout [s]. In Send state device will keep trying to send positions until time

defined by “Sending timeout [s]“ parameter expires.


25

WDT event period in hibernation [min]. Device periodically wakes up from Deep

Power Save mode and sends “WDT start” event to server. This period is defined with

“WDT event period in hibernation [min]” parameter.

GPS always on. “GPS always on” parameter enables or disables GPS module in

Power Save mode. If GPS module is disabled, power consumption in Power Save

mode will be significantly lower, but upon leaving Power Save mode, device will

take some time to fix valid GPS position.

Wake on GPIO change. If this option is enabled, device will wake up from Power

Save mode when change on GPIO pin is detected.

When ignition key is switched on, device will go to the PowerOn state. When device is

powered only from internal back-up battery, PowerOn state is active.

7.20 Serial Port Options

Fox Lite has two serial ports: RS232 and USB. Device can be set to send various data on port.

Options are following:

0 – Full system log is sent to serial port,

1 – Serial debug information (Test mode data) is sent to serial port (see chapter 11 for

details),

2 – NMEA sequences of internal GPS module is sent to serial port. NMEA sequence

can be used for some external device.

Commands for setting up serial port options are described in chapter 11 .

If both serial ports are connected to PC then USB port is preffered port for configuration and

debuging.

7.21 Smart Phonebook

Fox Lite has smart phonebook feature. This feature enables user to add up to 128 numbers in

phonebook and to separately assign function to each one. Functions that can be assigned to

phone numbers are:

1. Server phone number (admin function),

2. Send SMS to this number if Geo-fence zone is breached,

3. Send SMS to this number if panic button is pressed,

4. Send SMS to this number if Overspeed is detected,

5. Send SMS to this number if OverRPM is detected,

6. Send SMS to this number if crash is detected,

7. Send SMS to this number if Fuel deficit is detected,

8. Send SMS to this number if Temperature is out of range or if some error is detected

on temperature sensor.

Numbers in phonebook can be added or deleted using Fox Configurator or by remote

SMS/GPRS commands.

NOTE: It is recommended to enter phone numbers in following format:

<+><country_code><number>

NOTE: If “Server phone number” parameter is left empty, and none of phone numbers from

list is assigned to be server phone number, device will accept SMS commands from any

phone number (every phone number will have admin function).


26

7.22 SMS Alerting

Fox Lite device can send SMS alerts if one of predefined events occurs. To activate this option,

“SMS Alert Period[s]” parameter should be setu p. If parameter value is 0, SMS alerting is

turned off. If value other than 0 is chosen, it will define minimal period between two SMS

messages for same event. SMS alert can be sent in one of the following events:

1. Geo-fence zone is breached,

2. Panic button is pressed,

3. Overspeed detection,

4. OverRPM detection,

5. Crash detection,

6. Fuel deficit detection.

7. Temperature sensor detection .

If one of events defined above occurs, device will send SMS on every phone number from

phonebook for which this event is enabled.

SMS alert message is sent in the following format:

Vehicle ID,SMS ID,Additional Parameters,Date,Time,GPS Position,Vehicle Speed.

SMS ID and Additional Parameters fields depend on event that occurred. Their values are

given in the following table:

Event SMS ID Additional Parameters

Geo-fence zone is breached Geo-fence Breached Zone ID, in/out

Panic button is pressed Panic Button /

Overspeed detection Overspeed Vehicle Speed

OverRPM detection Over RPM Engine RPM

Crash detection CRASH Detected /

Fuel deficit detection Fuel/AD0/AD1 Deficit Detected /

GPS antenna short/open circuit detection GPS Antenna “open circuit” or “short circuit”

7.23 Sending Profiles

Fox Lite device has 3 sets of parameters which define data sending (sending profiles). There

are default, roaming and auxiliary sending profiles. In device configurator software, those

parameters are defined in Sending, Roaming Profile anad Auxilary Profile tabs respectively.

If vehicle is in home network, device will use parameters defined in Sending or Auxilary

Profile set of parameters. Which set of parameters will be used, depends on current Geo-fence

status (in or out) and “Geo-fence zone sending profiles” parameter (see chapter 9).

If vehicle is in roaming network, then device will use set of parameters defined in Roaming tab.

7.24 C-Drive

C-Drive (Control Drive) option gives information about driver's behavior during the drive. Fox

Lite device has integrated shock/acceleration sensor. This sensor measures 3D vehicle

acceleration and sends this information as 3D acceleration vector to server. Parameter “C-Drive

Cycle [s]“ defines time period for generating 3D acceleration vector. To every 3D acceleration

vector, device will assign current RPM value (if RPM value is available). When device collects

10 values of 3D acceleration vectors (and corrsponding RPM valuse) it will send them to server

in single GPRS message.


27

For using C-Drive option, device should be mounted in vehicle according to following

recommendations:

1. Device must be positioned in parallel with vehicle (see picture). Any deviation in

device orientation will lead to inaccurate acceleration vector calculation.

2. Device must have hard fisical connection to vehicle chassis.

3. Device can be rotated around X or Y axis, but this will request calibration after

installation.

Calibration is performed by sending SMS message to device when vehicle is not moving and

when it is placed on flat ground. Calibration SMS message iz “ZFA:“(for more details see

chapter 10).

7.25 Navigation and Comunication Using Garmin

Fox Lite supports navigation and communication with driver using Garmin device. Any

Garmin navigator with Fleet Management function and FMI software version 2.6 or later can

be used for this purpose. This feature enables communication with driver using short text

messages, sending routes to driver and driver identification. Also, all other features suported by

Garmin Fleet Mamagement system are supported by Fox Lite (Fox Lite acts as a GSM gateway

for Garmin).

7.25.1 Devices Connection

Fox Lite and Garmin navigator should be connected using Fox Lite Serial Cable and Garmin

Fleet Management cable (Garmin P/N: 320-00686-00). Additionally, cable mounted male

DSUB RS232 connector is needed for this connection.

To make the connection, insert Fox Lite Serial Cable to Fox Lite device, and Garmin Fleet

Management cable into Garmin device. Connect red and black wires from Garmin Fleet

Management cable to vehicle battery plus and minus respectively. Brown, yellow and white

wires should be connected to pins 5, 3 and 2 of male DSUB RS232 connector respectively.

7.26 Panic Taster

Any GPI pin can be configured as input pin for panic taster function. In order to set up device

for this function, only Input_X event code must be set to 1070. See chapter 13 for details

about panic taster installation.

7.27 Temperature Measurement

GPI Pin 6 of Connector 1 can to be used for connecting 1-wire temperature sensors. There are

two configuration options for temperature masurement. If option “button“ is selected for GPI

Pin 6 of Connector 1 then device support maximal two 1-wire temperature sensors and iButton

identification at the same time. If option “owtemp“ is selected for GPI Pin 6 of Connector 1

then device supports four 1-wire temperature sensors and don’t support iButton identification.

Period for sending event with temperature values is defined with parameter “Sending

temperature period [min]“. If value of this parameter is 0, then device don’t send event to

server but, as information, device repeats on serial port ID-s of detected temperature sensors on

about 10 s. This information is useful for determinate physical space where new sensor is

installed. All sensors have unique ID. Temperature event data consist of sensor's ID and

corensponding temperature values.


29

8 Device Connection in Vehicle

8.1 Device and GPS Antenna Position Selection

Fox Lite device should be positioned on place where humidity is in specified range, with no

heat sources and moving parts near device. GPS antenna and main cable also should not be

near any moving parts. Device should be attached to vehicle using plastic clamps.

Fox Lite device has built-in (integrated) GSM antenna. Therefore, device should be placed in

position where GSM signal will not be unacceptably reduced.

GPS antenna must be placed into horizontal position, i.e. the antenna upper surface has to face

the sky. The material over the GPS antenna should not be metal, since this would reduce or

completely degrade GPS signal quality. The best position for installing GPS antenna is under

plastic parts of instrument board while keeping it as close as possible to the surface.

8.2 Main Power Supply Connection

Main power supply for device is usualy taken from vehicle's battery. It is connected to

corresponding pin of the Connector 1 (see chapter 5.2 ). There is 2A fuse inside Fox Lite

device. Regardless, it is recommended to connect main power supply through some of the

vehicle’s fuses. Fox Lite 4.0 device is designed for operation with vehicle battery voltages of

12 VDC and 24 VDC.

Ground (pin 4 of Connector 1 – BLACK wire) should be connected to vehicle battery negative

end. (or vehicle metal chassis if it is connected to ground).

NOTE: when performing this action please take all precaution measures so vehicle battery

positive end does not cause short circuit with metal chassis of the vehicle.

8.3 Input and Output Connection

Fox Lite has up to 6 digital inputs on Connector 1 (one is reserved for ignition key signal - pin

2 – GREEN wire). Signals from switches or other digital signals actuators in the vehicle can be

connected directly to these inputs. Except for pin 6 of Connector 1 – all digital inputs can

sustain voltage in range from -100 V to +100 V.

Fox Lite has up to 2 digital outputs. Both of them are multiplexed with digital input pins. One

digital output is designed as positive driven pin (pin 7 of Connector 1 – YELLOW wire; it

gives positive voltage equal to vehicle battery voltage when turned on, or it is in high

impedance state when turned off). Second digital output is designed as negative driven pin: pin

3 of Connector 1 – BROWN wire. It connects to the ground when turned on, or it is in high

impedance state when turned off.

Both digital output pins are fused with 500 mA current capacity fuses with autorecovery. For

larger consumers additional relays should be used on output pins.

8.4 Connecting Device for Operation

internal LiIon backup battery. As battery is new and it has to be properly formed, please

proceede with two following steps as soon as possible.

Step 5: Close slide door.

Step 6: Connect main connector to Fox Lite device. Green LED will turn ON, if not refer to

step 4. If it is still off check main power voltage.

Step 7: Turn ON ignition key (GREEN wire) before configuration process, to prevent power

save modes. Configure device for proper operation using Fox Configurator program. After

saving configuration in Fox Configuration program, it should start sending data to server in

approximately 60 sec.

Step 8: Fix device in the vehicle where the following conditions are met:

Solid surface directly linked to vehicle chassis,

Hidden position in order not to be seen and easily reached,

As far as possible from all moving parts of the vehicle, like motor, transmitter, shafts,

wheels, etc.

At locations where there is no humidity or condensation due to high temperature

diferences,

Away from heat sources,

If C-Drive option is turned on, device must be fixed according instructions in chapter

C-Drive.

8.5 Engine Block Connection

To block engine from starting, additional relay should be installed. Relay is not included in Fox

Lite package and it must have following characteristics:

Driving voltage 12 V or 24 V depends on vehicle's battery

Minimal switch current should be 20 A,

Relay must have protective diode between pins 86 and 85 (pin86 – anode, pin85 –

cathode).

To block engine from starting find starter wire, cut the wire and connect ends to relay pins 87a

and 30. Starter wire can be found inside the ignition lock.

11 Remote Parameter Change and Command Protocol

Fox Lite can receive commands and parameter change messages remotely from mobile phone

(or SMS gateway) using SMS messages or from server using GPRS.

11.1 Remote Parameter Change and Commanding Using SMS

Commands can be sent by mobile phone or SMS gateway using SMS. Device will accept

commands from SMS even if GSM parameters in device are not set.

In order to change parameters or to command device using SMS, SIM card in Fox Lite must

have enabled incoming SMS mesages.

Fox Lite will process received SMS message and notify server about some actions.

When Fox Lite receives and executes command via SMS, it will send response to sender's

phone number via SMS. If Fox Lite receives commands FW, DR, RS, it sends response “X-

started“ when command is activated (X is required command). If Fox Lite receives commands

MKP, MKF, DEL, DL it sends response “X-ok“ when command is correctly executed (X is

required command). After settings parameters, Fox Lite will send SMS with current value of

changed parameters. For example, if Fox Lite receives SMS: GE:0, Fox Lite returns GE=0 to

sender.

NOTE: If parameter can have Enabled/ON or Disabled/OFF value, to set Enabled or ON

value send SMS command X:1, or to set Disabled or OFF value send SMS command X:0,

where X is remote command for that parameter.

12 Test Mоde

Test mode is designed to enable easy control of device's accuracy, setup and connections to the

technician building-in and checking device operation. In Fox Configurator or in HyperTerminal

window the following parameters and measurements will be shown periodically:

ID - Vehicle identification number.

S - GSM signal level. This parameter can have value from 0 (the weakest signal)

tо 31 (the strongest signal).

G - GSM network ID values.

GPS - Fix number / number of satellites / estimated HDOP error.

B - Number of unsent messages in RAM memory.

L - Amount of unsent messages in device logger memory in KB.

V - Vehicle battery voltage in [V] / battery voltage in [V].

R - Engine rotation speed in [RPM].

F - Fuel level in the tank.

FF - Fuel flow last value.

W - Time in seconds until automatic GPS module reset.

P - Current power mode.

I - Input pins state.

O - Output pins state.

Test sequence example: ID-139 S-17 G-AF79/H-006E GPS-3/10/0.85 B-3 L-1 V-13.14/4.28 R-

800 F-1543 FF-2 W-15 P-ON I-101111010001010000 O-000000

12.1 Test Mоde – Vehicle Identification (ID)

This parameter stands for the vehicle identification number. Since this parameter is very

important, you can check in this way if it is set up properly without entering device’s menu.

12.2 Теst Mode – Signal Level (S)

GSM signal level parameter can have value from 0 tо 31. Value 0 is obtained when the signal

is very weak, аnd value 31 when the signal is extremely strong. For successful data sending it

is necessary that the signal has value above 6, however it is desirable that this value is about 20.

On device installation, it is recommendable to measure the signal level at the position where

the installation is performed before the antenna is installed into the vehicle. Then, the position

of antenna should be chosen so that the signal is not weaker for more than 5 measuring units

after positioning of the antenna.

Signal level parameter can also have value 99, error level. Value 99 is obtained when the signal

level is so low that its level cannot be detected.

12.3 Test Mode – GSM Status (G)

This parameter has GSM network ID value.


82

12.4 Test Mоde – GPS Data Validity (GPS)

There are 3 parameters that describe quality of GPS data:

Fix number can have values 1, 2 or 3, where 1 is no fix, 2 is 2D fix and 3 is 3D fix.

Number of satellites shows how many satellites are used for getting GPS position.

This number can have values from 0 to 12. Greater number of satellites indicates more

accurate GPS position.

Estimated HDOP error can have values from 1 (minimal GPS error) to 50 (GPS

signal is not valid)

12.5 Test Mоde – The Number of Unsent Records in RAM Memory (B)

In case when device for some reason is not able to send data to server, it will store it in its

RAM memory where up to 528 Bytes of unsent records can be stored. When this memory is

close to full, its content will be moved into Flash memory where more than 60.000 record can

be stored. Number of unsent records in RAM mеmory could be seen in test mode. If the buffer

state is not 0 and if the number of messages in it is increasing, that means that device, for some

reason, is not able to send messages to server. There are several possible reasons:

Device, for some reason, is not connected to GSM network,

Device is connected to GSM network, but the signal level is too low,

Server parameters are not set up properly,

Server is not ON or it does not have Internet access.

NOTE: Amount of data in logger should be checked too (parameter L in test mode) because

from time to time data from RAM is moved to logger memory.

12.6 Test Mode – The Number of Unsent Records in Logger Memory (L)

Besides RAM memory, device has permanent Flash memory for storing unsent records. This

memory is called logger memory and it’s capacity is more than 60.000 records. Parameter L

shows logger memory occupancy measured in KB.

12.7 Test Mode – Vehicle Battery Voltage (V)

This parameter stands for current vehicle battery voltage (power supply) value expressed in [V]

and battery voltage, value expressed in [V]. As per this parameter it is possible to check if

device is properly connected to power supply and if the power supply voltage value is within

specified range for device operation.

12.8 Test Mode – Engine RPM (R)

This parameter represents current value of the engine RPM.

12.9 Теst Mode – Fuel Tank Level (F)

Fuel Tank Level parameter represents relative current value of fuel level in tank. This value can

be measured using device analog input (from analog sensor), device serial input (from digital

sensor) or CAN/FMS data depending on device configuration and available sensors.


83

12.10 Теst Mode – Fuel Flow (FF)

Fuel flow parameter represents current fuel flow (number of pulses counted in last 10 seconds).

12.11 Test Mode – GPS Module WDT (W)

In case that GPS module stops sending data, it will be restarted. Parameter W represents

remaining time to GPS module reset.

12.12 Test Mode – Current Power Mode (P)

Device can be in various power modes. They are all listed below. Test parameter P represents

current power mode.

WAKE – State immediately after device startup (or wake).

ON – Active state (ignition key turned on).

STANDBY – State between ignition key off and entering SLEEP state.

SLEEP – This is power save mode. Device will enter SLEEP mode after ignition key off and

predefined time elapsed (time is defined by UT2 parameter).

FILTER – State after WAKE, before valid GPS position is fixed.

SEND – State after FILTER. In this state GPS position is fixed and WDT event sent to server.

TOHIB – State before hibernation.

FHIB – Hibernation state.

DEBOUNCE – State when vehicle battery low level is detected, before entering LOWV state.

LOWV – State while vehicle batery is in low level.

12.13 Test Mode – Input Pins State

This message shows input pin states. If input pin state is ON, corresponding bit in message will

have value 1. If input pin state is OFF, corresponding bit in message will have value 0.

I = 1 0 0 0 0 1

GP input_5 state (1-on, 0-off)





Ignition key input state (1-on, 0-off)

12.14 Test Mode – Output Pins State

This message shows output pin states. If output pin state is active, corresponding bit in message

will have value 1. If output pin is not active, corresponding bit in message will have value 0.

O = 0 0

GP output_high state (1-on, 0-off)

GP output_ low state (1-on, 0-off)

13 Appendix

13.1 Working without ignition pin

Ignition pin can be in following modes:

a) Connected to ignition signal

b) Connected directly to car battery (12/24V)

c) Left floating

Mode “a”: this mode is highly recommended. The device will be forced to enter selected

power save mode immediately after the engine is turned off. Selected power saving mode is

user configurable, and it may or may not put device to sleep or hibernation. The device will

wake up very quickly after ignition key is moved from neutral position.

Mode “b”: the device will never enter power save mode. Being always active it will draw

more power from vehicle battery.

Mode “c”: the device will be awaken from the power save mode by mechanical vibrations.

These vibrations are picked up by the shock/acceleration sensor while the vehicle is moving.

The device will enter power save mode after timeout measured from the last shock event. This

timeout can be defined by user.

NOTE: Ignition key on/off events will not be sent in modes “b” and “c” for obvious reasons.

13.2 Setting Up Panic Button

To set up panic button, first select digital inputs pin to use. Connect one panic taster pin to

connect to selected Input X pin. If you select GP input_1, GP input_3 or GP input_5 (pins with

negative trigger) then connect second pin of panic taster to GND. If you select GP input_2 or

GP input_4 (pins with positive trigger) connect second pin of panic taster to ACCU+. Set

Input_X event code to 1070 (otherwise no panic event will be sent to server).

13.3 Setting Up and Connecting Engine Block

Fox Lite can prevent vehicle engine from starting by controlling relay which is breaking signal

from starter wire. To activate relay you could use either output_low or output_high pin. Relay

must have protective diode between pins 86 and 85. Following illustration shows how to

connect relay to vehicle and Fox Lite when using output_low pin.

Fox Lite GP Digital output_x pin of Connector 1, with low active signal connect to

relay pin 86.

Relay pin 85 connect to ACCU+ or ignition line (it is better to use ignition line in order

to prevent vehicle battery consumption when vehicle is not in use).

Cut starter wire and connect one end to relay pin 87a and other end to relay pin 30.

Enter Output_Low Event Code 2050 (engine block code).
