Inputs

The SmartOne has a 20-pin connector that provides ground, two dry contact inputs and serial
communication lines.

The SmartOne allows sending Input Status Changed Messages for both Input 1 and Input 2. The Inputs
must be asserted for at least five seconds in order to be acknowledged.
Usage Example: A construction company needs to document, per their contract, when they begin
their work day and when they end their work day. Based on this requirement, the SmartOne would be
connected to the ignition switch and configured to send a transmission with location when the input
changes state.
The SmartOne also allows the user to define the Message Interval while the Inputs are in an Undesired
State, either Opened or Closed.
Usage Example: A company has remote containers at job sites and would like to know if a door is
ajar. If a door is left ajar the company would like a notification every two hours. Based on this
requirement, the SmartOne would be connected to an open door sensor with the Undesired Input
State Message enabled and set as Opened with a Message Interval of two hours.
Note: The SmartOne uses a five minute "hysteresis" window to prevent sending false alarms.
This means that only one status change message can be sent during any five minute time
window. Any subsequent status changes will be detected but not reported. Multiple status
changes during any five minute window will result in the transmission of incorrect trigger
bits.
The SmartOne has the ability to send an Accumulate/Count Message at a regular configurable interval
and/or based on configurable multiples of accumulated hours and/or number of counted events or hours
of vibration.
Usage Example 1: A construction company needs weekly engine run times for their heavy
equipment to manage their maintenance scheduling. Based on this requirement, the company would
schedule a weekly Accumulate/Count Message.
Usage Example 2: A construction company wants to insure that no equipment is ever operated
beyond 400 hours without maintenance. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule an
Accumulate/Count Message for every 400 hours of use.
The SmartOne has the ability to send both the Status Change and Undesired State messages based on
vibration.

Serial Commands

The SmartOne uses the I/O port for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive and smart
sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors or
instruments, that can format and communicate with the SmartOne
SmartOne by using these two commands.
The SmartOne connects to smart sensors via the SmartOne Serial Cable. The SmartOne Serial Cable is
sold as an accessory.
