D411 The Blue Sky Network’s D411 is an Iridium and GPS mobile tracking platform with 6-28 VDC input. All data services are managed by the customer through our web-based SkyRouter portal. SkyRouter offers global asset tracking, account management features, such as user authorization, asset settings, messaging and billing information.
Introduction SKYROUTER The SkyRouter portal ties together Blue Sky Network data solutions in an integrated and user-friendly way. By accessing the SkyRouter Web-site users can do the following: Advanced device tracking on a global, layered map including satellite imagery and standard street maps.
Antenna Iridium and GPS combined FEATURES Iridium satellite link: The D411 communicates to SkyRouter using the Iridium network of 66 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. GPS: The D411 has an integrated GPS receiver – Position reporting interval can be changed in SkyRouter.
Your D411 device must be activated prior to use. By default all Blue Sky Network tracking devices are shipped to customers in an un-activated state. All activation requests must be submitted by the Blue Sky Network SkyRouter Administrator on file.
Avoid locations that might expose the device to excessive heat or moisture. • Hold the D411 in place and mark the location for mounting screw holes. • Using the markings as a guide, drill mounting holes in those positions.
• Blue Sky Network is not liable for damage to the D411 caused by an improper installation. • The D411 is designed to operate on 6-28 VDC. The user is responsible for ensuring the voltage supplied to the D411 remains in this voltage range to include transient voltage spikes and load dump voltages.
The GPS antenna connector is labelled ‘GPS’. Make certain that the GPS cable is connected to the GPS output on the antenna to the GPS input on the D411, and that the Iridium cable is connected to the Iridium connector on both the D411 and the antenna. Failure to do so can damage both the antenna and D411.
The D411 comes with an LED wired remote Quick Position switch. The Quick Position switch is already wired into the supplied D411 harness. When the Quick Position mode is enabled this causes the D411 to transmit a series of QPOS (Quick Position) events to SkyRouter. The number of messages and the time between messages can be configured from SkyRouter (see Configure section of this guide for further information.)
CONFIGURE PARAMETERS Before using your D411 it is recommended that you take time to check and update the parameters on the device to prevent unexpected data usage. By default Blue Sky Network configures the D411 at the factory default setting of 120 second reporting (reports once every 2 minutes.) The D411 system parameters are all managed using the SkyRouter system.
