1. INTRODUCTION AT1000 is a terminal with GPS and GSM connectivity, which is able to determine the object’s coordinates and transfer them via the GSM network. This device is perfectly suitable for applications where location acquirement of remote objects is needed. Device operates using internal batteries only and its main applications are tracking of objects which do not have onboard power supply.
The device uses a 5V...7.2V DC batteries. To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the AT1000 device in an impact-proof package. The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access. All related devices must meet the requirements of standard EN 60950-1.
• AC/DC – Alternating Current/Direct Current. (check out new album Black Ice!) • Record – AVL data stored in AT1000 memory. AVL data contains GPS and I/O information • AVL packet - Data packet that is being sent to server during data transmission. AVL packet contains from 1 to 25 records.
• Max pulse current not less than 2000mA The lifetime of AT1000 is subject to configuration and coverage of GPS and GSM signals. According to recommended default configuration expected lifetimes: • 6 months - GPS acquire every 1 hour and data sending every 24 hour.

Inserting the batteries Figure 3. Inserting the batteries. AT1000 is autonomous device which uses two R14 (IEC 60086 standard) batteries. Batteries used in this device are single charge Li based type and should have the following parameters: • Voltage: 3.6V •...
When AT1000 is connected for the first time to PC, you will be prompted with 'Found New Hardware' window. Click 'Cancel' to stop automatic installation process. It is required to install AT1000 drivers before connecting device to PC. More details on how to install the driver can be found in the paragraph above (2.3 Intalling the...
IMEI number with it. Please download the latest version of AT1000 Configurator from Teltonika webpage: http://avl1.teltonika.lt/downloads/AT1000/. To use Configurator with AT1000, make sure that batteries are inserted in the device and it is connected to PC. In the configurator please choose correct COM port used by the device. You may find out which COM port is used by following these steps below: •...
5. OPERATIONAL BASICS Profiles In order to preserve the battery, AT1000 is designed to stay in a sleep mode as long as possible. Device periodically (each 2 seconds) wakes up for a very short time and checks states of IO events. If IO event(s) state has changed, profile manager changes to profile according to logical sentences.
“Hysteresis” is selected, events will be generated as it is shown in the illustration below: Figure 8. Event generation according hysteresis algorithm AT1000 uses this method to calculate those IO element events that have Delta parameters: GPS speeding, GSM signal level and Analog input.
• Save to File: click this button to save manually entered setting to a file. • Read from flash: reads settings that are already stored in AT1000 device. • Write to flash: saves the settings to AT1000 memory. Note, that you have to load these settings from file or enter them manually first.
GPS satellites. After coordinates are received, data is sent to server as defined in global parameters. • COM port: click this drop-down list to choose which COM port is used by AT1000 to connect to PC. See chapter 4 to find out number of the port.

Level field and delta indicate a value level – when it exits or enters value +- delta/2, device generates an event. I.e. to generate speeding event when speed reaches 80 km/h enter level value 40 and delta value 80. This would make low level of speed 0 km/h (40 – 80/2) and high level 80 km/h (40 + 80/2).
This set of parameters applies for device only when it is operating in appropriate profile. To choose a profile click on 'P1', 'P2', 'P3', 'P4' or 'P5' and enter desired values. Refer to profile switching logic chapter to find out correct settings for your AT1000 device.
• Min. Period: time interval in seconds, when device is trying to establish its location and make a record. • Save week time: if 'Min. Period' value is 0, then AT1000 uses this table when to make records. You can set the time in 10 minute intervals and choose weekdays to do it.
• Send week time: if 'Send Period' value is 0, then AT1000 uses this table to send records. You can set the time in 10 minute intervals and choose weekdays to do it. The table is same as for data recording ('Save week time' table).
Scenario #2 Designed for customs/shipment transit tracking: • While moving collect data every 1 hour, send data every 12 hours; • While idle collect and send data every 24 hours; • If geofence zone crossed: collect data every 5 minutes and GSM modem always online. Expected battery lifetime is 6 months with no alarm captured.
