GPS Tracker V3 (LoRaWAN)
GPS-LoRaWAN V3
Order number: 8000116
Different Hardware Revision
This manual is for the GPS-Tracker in hardware revision 3 running firmware starting with version 7.0.0. It
is not compatible to older hardware revisions. If you have an older revision of the device or are unsure
which revision you have, please refer to the
manuals for each revision.
Key Features
LoRaWAN 1.0.x and 1.1 network servers supported
TTN-Mapper compatible
Time synchronisation via GPS
Simultaneous GPS and BeiDou support for better satellite coverage
Configuration via USB or remotely via LoRaWAN downlink
Visual Feedback through on-board LED
Power conserving when stationary (Passive Mode)
Integrated motion detector and temperature sensor
Optional: complete Lobaro IoT Platform integration
Overview
The LoRaWAN GPS Tracker (GPS-LoRaWAN V3) is a battery powered tracking device, that uses the
satellite based positioning services
coordinates via LoRaWAN radio technology. Intervals between measurements can be freely configured,
in order to adjust the device to individual needs.
An integrated motion sensor detects changes in the device's movement (if it is picked up or transported
in a vehicle). This allows the device to switch between an
uploaded during phases of movement and an
few updates. While not sending updates, the device enters a sleep mode that only uses 25 µA (or ~14 µA
without motion sensor).
Please read the manual carefully before operating the device. A safe operation of the device is
only possible if you follow the guides provided in this manual. Using the device differently than
intended by Lobaro my cause damage to people, the environment, or the device.

Page 2: Installation
Alkali-Manganese (1.5V, LR6) and Lithium-Iron- Sulphide (1.5V, FR6) are allowed to be inserted in the device. Lobaro recommends the use of FR6 batteries like the Energizer Ultimate Lithium over LR6 types because of the higher capacity and better discharge properties. - Page 3 Typically one message is sent per day in this mode (frequency can be configured with a cron expression, see "GPS configuration parameters"). When physical movement is detected by the internal motion sensor during this phase, the GPS Tracker immediately wakes up and switches to Active Mode. Configuration The Lobaro Maintenance Tool...

. Normally your default browser should be opened with this URL automatically after tool startup . Even remote configuration and logobservation over the Internet is possible, e.g. having a Raspberry PI via USB connected to the Lobaro device and accessing the maintenance tool from a remote machines browser over the Internet. - Page 5 Internal Device's Clock Standard Lobaro devices typically do not need to know the real time for proper operation. If time synchronisation is disabled (or did not succeed, yet), all times are relative to the initial time when batteries are inserted.

This message is sent regularly, configured by the parameter . The default behaviour is to send the status message once every day. Lobaro statusCron recommends this setting to make sure you are always up to date on your devices whereabouts, and to make remote configuration reliable. -
Page 8: Data Message
Reset button pressed / Reset by config adapter. EXTERNAL_RESET_PIN_RESET OBL_RESET Final word This value is currently not used and reserved for future usage. Voltage Supply voltage fed into the device, either from battery of external power source. Gives an indication on the state of the battery used. - Page 9 The Position data is the main purpose of the Tracker. It is always combined with a timestamp. This timestamp is independent of the internal clock of the Tracker, but taken directly from the GPS data. It is therefore the exact point of time that the position was determined. The time is encoded as a UNIX- Timestamp .

- Page 13 Parser The payload format decoder must be slightly adjusted for the use of TTN-Mapper, because the Lobaro GPS-Tracker willupload it's latest known valid position when no GPS-fix can be achieved (indicating so by a flag and giving the timestamp of the localisation). TTN-Mapper would parse that as a new valid...
