1. SmartOne Basics
Overview
The Globalstar SmartOne series of products are designed to track the positions of trailers, cargo
containers, heavy construction equipment, generators, boats/barges and any other mobile assets.
NOTE: Throughout the rest of this manual, the term SmartOne
will refer to the SmartOne Solar™ product unless explicitly
referred to otherwise.
The SmartOne processes GPS satellite signals to obtain its
position in terms of longitude & latitude and transmits this
information over Globalstar's Satellite Network.
position information, the SmartOne transmits other message
types that include battery status, input alarm status and
diagnostic information. The SmartOne is configured using a
computer & configuration cable or over Bluetooth® interface. The
configuration
parameters
communicate messages at certain times and/or under certain
conditions.
The SmartOne has two dry contact inputs, to manage run time of engines and/or other alarm inputs, and
one serial port for passive and smart sensors. The SmartOne incorporates a built-in solar panel that
charges the internal batteries to provide 8+ years of maintenance-free operation.
Modes of Operation
The SmartOne can be configured to operate in three different Modes:
•
Standard Messaging Mode
•
Reduced Messaging Mode
•
Theft Alert Mode.
Standard Messaging
In Standard Messaging Mode, the SmartOne reports its position at regular time intervals that are
programmed during the configuration process. Standard Messaging Mode can also be configured to
utilize the SmartOne's internal motion/vibration sensor. If enabled, the SmartOne will transmit its position
at independently configured regular time intervals when the device is In Motion.
Location messages can be programmed to be constant (Message Interval) or the device may be
configured to use up to 12 different delays in sequence (Message-Time(s) of Day). Message Interval can
be programmed in one minute intervals from 35 minutes up to 45 days.
•
Example of Message Interval: The SmartOne is configured to report once every 24 hours when
not In Motion and every two hours when In Motion. If the SmartOne went into motion at any time
of day the Message Interval while In Motion would be every two hours beginning when the
SmartOne started moving.
•
Example of Message-Time(s) of Day: The SmartOne is configured with a message time of day
of 9:00 AM, a second message time of day of 12:00 noon, a third message time of day of 8:00
PM and once per hour when In Motion. The SmartOne would transmit three messages a day at
the same configured times every day. If the SmartOne went In Motion it would transmit its
location message every hour.
•
Usage Example: A Company is required to report the GPS locations of their hazardous chemical
containers twice a day. Based on this requirement, the Company has two options: set a message
