ASPION L-Track IoT transport data logger General description - overview The ASPION L-Track logs sensor values such as vibrations, shocks and climate data and sends them to the ASPION Cloud IoT platform in real time via mobile communications. The IoT device has many different sen- sors such as a 3-axis acceleration sensor for shock detection, temperature, humidity, pressure, inclination, and light sensors, etc.

To record temperature and humidity, make sure that the white membrane (red border) on the top of the ASPION L-Track is not covered when packing the device. If lux values are to be recorded via the light sen- sor, keep the adjacent light sensor uncovered.
Page 7: Battery Replacement
Dimensions in millimeters - not to scale Battery replacement The ASPION L-Track uses four AA 1.5V alkaline batteries. These can be replaced by the user. Alternatively, lithium AA 1.5V batteries can be used (hazardous goods guidelines must be observed). Change the batteries as follows: 1.
Page 8: Firmware Updates
The initial synchronization of the device with the ASPION Cloud takes a few minutes. After that, a measure- ment is taken at every full hour and the first data transfer to the ASPION Cloud takes place after 8 hours. Then, you can view the measured values via the ASPION Cloud and configure the device. Please note that a device must be activated within 3 months of delivery.

ASPION L-Track and ASPION Cloud – User manual ASPION Cloud The ASPION Cloud is used to visualize the sensor data and location information. The sensor data is visible immediately after transmission, processed and constantly updated with new data automatically. You can use the ASPION Cloud to set threshold values, set up alarms and evaluate the data.

"Administration" areas. Note: The Administration area is only shown if you have the rights to do so. ▪ User: After clicking on the user icon or your user name, you can log out of the ASPION Cloud or edit your user data (e.g. e-mail address, login data, password).
Page 12: Navigation & Groups
Navigation & Groups In the ASPION Cloud, you can use groups - like folder structures in a file system - to sort and manage your devices easily and clearly, e.g. to assign multiple devices to a delivery. The groups allow you to set up views and alarms (via Smart Rules) for all devices in a group.
Page 13 Other manufacturers and especially lithium batteries change the actual battery capacity and thus the runtime. ▪ Last transmission: Time of the last data transfer of the device data to the ASPION Cloud ▪ Transmission interval: Regular interval at which the measurement data of the L-Track is transmitted to the ASPION Cloud ▪...

You can access the configuration by selecting a group that contains the device (e.g.
Page 16 ASPION L-Track and ASPION Cloud – User manual ④ Transmission interval (with cell location): Select the interval at which the device transmits data and determines rough location information when there is a cellular connection. The transmission interval is a multiple of the measurement interval and can be between one hour and 3 days.
Page 17: Smart Rules, Alarms & Notifications
If no Smart Rules exist, create a new Smart Rule using the Add Smart Rule button. If there are already any, add a Smart Rule using the button of the same name at the top right-hand edge. The ASPION Cloud offers the following three types of smart rules: ▪...

Page 20 ASPION L-Track and ASPION Cloud – User manual 16.1.2 Generate alarm on geofence violation Create this smart rule to check whether a device has en- tered or left a certain area. This type of Smart Rule con- tains the following elements: At the top is the button for activating or deactivating the Smart Rule with the text "Switched on".
Page 21 ASPION L-Track and ASPION Cloud – User manual Alarm name: The name of this alarm should show which threshold value has been exceeded or fallen below and is displayed in the alarm overview as the title of the alarm. You should therefore use unique names and no duplications (example: "Warehouse left Karlsruhe").
Page 22 ASPION L-Track and ASPION Cloud – User manual 16.1.3 On alarm send email The third type of smart rule allows an e-mail to be sent automatically when an alarm occurs.
