USER Manual

The VERSA is a GlobalTrak product designed to allow for easy implementation of global tracking with

versatile sensor capability. The version is designed to mount internally to the door of a shipping

container. The mounting allows for an sensing mechanism to determine when the container doors are

opened. The unit consists of sensors measuring environmental quantities and allowing for control and

data collection from other external sensors. The control and data collection is available via various hard

wired interfaces as well as wirelessly via Zigbee. Versa also contains sensitive GPS capabilities to allow

for determination of location. This VERSA module contains communications links for GSM and

GlobalStar Satellite communication. Finally, the power for the unit is self-contained and supplied by a

robust battery. Charging circuits for this battery are also included to allow for externally power

operation.

Photos of the exterior and interior of the product are shown below. The only user accessible ports are

the key switch which turns the unit on and off and a multi-pin connector for external power and user

I/O. The bottom of the unit contains two magnets to attach it to a metal surface. One of the magnets

has an electronic circuit inside which senses tamper events.

Operation The Versa product is activated by turning the key in the key switch (see drawing below). Perpendicular to the long axis of the product is the OFF position and Parallel to the long axis is ON. Status of operations is indicated with the four LEDs (1-4 on drawing) located on the large top surface of the product. LED #1 indicates GSM activity, LED #2 indicates activity per blink code sequences, LED #3 indicates external battery charging, and LED #4 indicates USB connection engaged.

Operation consists of activating via the key switch. The device will initialize all of the sensors (including GPS) and establish communications via cell in order to send a status report. If the cell in unavailable a satellite message will be sent. This operation is repeated on a programmable interval. Between reporting activities, the Versa unit places itself in a low power state to conserve battery life.
