Kantronics' KML-5000 Passive Tracker includes a GPS receiver and a data-logger. Once installed in a vehicle, it can record up to 36 eight-hour days of GPS data (location, velocity, time) in a non-volatile internal memory.
- Page 14 WHAT SOFTWARE CAN I USE? Currently Kantronics offers a program that uses Map Point to display data from KML 5000. As of January 2006 a second software package is in development. For now the only software suite currently in use is MapPoint. To install MapPoint, please refer to the manual shipped with the software bundle Note: To use KML software, .NET 1.1 Framework is required.
- Page 15 WHAT ARE PUSHPINS Put quite simply, a PUSHPIN is the same as on any other map, a location marker. PUSHPINS are used in the address lookup function, as you will see later in the USER REPORTS section. When performing address lookup, MAP POINT will attempt to find an address for starting and stopping locations based on GPS data.
- Page 16 If user and file serial numbers match, the KML software will begin processing the GPS data. Be patient, this may take a few minutes based on file size and computer speed. WHAT IS THE “.ACK “ FILE AND WHAT IS ITS PURPOSE. After GPS data is processed, a new encrypted file is generated.
- Page 17 GENERATING USER REPORTS There are several reports that can be generated from the imported GPS data. The first type is a “Trip Report”. Click on the USER menu and select REPORT. As shown in figure 5-3 data is displayed in a spreadsheet format. Starting and ending times are displayed along with location, distance, average speed, and maximum speed.
- Page 18 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Vehicle Installation Requirements The power requirements for the KML 5000 are fairly simple. As with any electric device there is power and ground. However the KML has a second “power” input. This second input is the ignition sense. This line is used so that the stored GPS data will reflect when the vehicle is started and stopped as well as logging travel and destinations.
- Page 19 You may of course run the wires to where ever you can find the appropriate power sources. The fuse box is recommended due to its close proximity to the most common equipment mounting locations. Terminal Connection Vehicle Ground +12 V dc (ignition sense) +12 V dc constant Figure 3-1: Power plug pin assignment Figure 3-2: Power connector view from rear.
- Page 20 LED Indicators There are 3 LED indicators on the KML 5000: Yellow, Green, and Red. When the KML is powered on from a “cold boot” state, the yellow indicator will flash in 5 second intervals (5 on, 5 off). When a GPS signal “lock” is acquired the yellow LED will cease activity and the green LED will flash briefly every 32 seconds.
- Page 21 Working with Media cards The KML 5000 can work with two type media cards. The preferred is the MMC type, however some SD cards may work as well. Size of the card is not important. It really depends on what you are willing to spend. The actual internal memory of the KML is only 32 MB, so even a 128MB is little large.
- Page 22 Open the KML software. Insert your media card into the card reader on your computer. Step 2. With Kantronics KML software open, select FILE and OPEN. Navigate to your media card. You will find a file named something like “0000000000112.gps”.
