Trailer Tracking and Security
The 2850 is a high-performance beacon designed for commercial trailers which
are typically tethered to 12V and 24V vehicle systems. Trailers may now be tracked
independently in the Nero portal, regardless of whether they are tethered to
a vehicle. The device transmits location data using the latest 4G LTE network
technology.
This fully weather-proofed device has an internal battery that will power the device for more than one month while the trailer
is untethered, providing periodic location data.
Kit Contents
•
GPS Beacon device with SIM
•
16 ft (4.9 m) Wiring harness
Beacon Installation
The 2850 comes with highly sensitive internal GPS and cell network antenna modules. Because of this, the beacon must be
positioned on the trailer so that it has a clear signal path to the sky as much as possible, without metal obstruction. The internal
antenna will allow signals to be received regardless of the orientation of the device once it is installed.
•
Determine beacon installation position but do not fasten it in place until all wiring is complete.
•
Determine the best location for the beacon – a strong flat surface that can be drilled to accommodate the mounting holes
is ideal.
•
Visibility of the indicator LEDs will be useful for testing and troubleshooting.
Connect Power and Ignition Sense
The 2850 power harness is connected to the beacon with a weather-proof connector. It contains 8 colored leads, 3 of which are
important for the proper connection of the device:
•
Constant Power (Red)
•
Ground (Black)
•
Ignition Sense (Yellow)

Page 2: Connection Instructions
Insulate them with electrical tape. Important Notice The 2850 is designated to operate from 9 to 32 Volts DC. The user is responsible for ensuring the voltage supplied to the 2850 remains in this voltage range to include transient voltage spikes and load dump voltages. -

Scenario Configuration The primary feature of the 2850 is the ability to locate and track the trailer, even while it is untethered from the vehicle. When disconnected from the power source, the beacon can be configured to enter sleep mode to conserve internal battery power, while periodically sending location points to the portal. -
Page 4: Testing And Troubleshooting
While tethered to the vehicle (i.e. connected to a power source), the 2850 will remain awake and may be located or tracked directly from the portal at any time. The scenario allows the user to configure the device to send regular tracking points at intervals of 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours while connected to a power source. - Page 5 The weatherproof connection on the sensor contains two wires, as shown in the image below. One of these wires connects to Input 1 (Pin 1 – Blue wire) on the 2850 wiring harness. The other wire connects to Ground (Pin 7 – Black wire) on the harness or any other Ground source.
