GPS Data Collection

Minimum requirements for Shadow Tracker Premier Unit mounted in vehicle.

1 Constant 12 volt DC power to the RED wire. This can be verified by looking at the LED

lights on the front of the Unit. Are any LED’s lit?

2 GPS satellite signal acquisition. This can be verified by looking at the GPS LED. The

LED will be

RED when the Unit has not acquired a signal, and it will be GREEN when the

Unit has acquired a signal. If the GPS LED is

RED, check the location of the GPS antenna

on the vehicle, try moving it to another location. Keep in mind that when first powered

on, the Unit may take up to 15 minutes to acquire a GPS satellite signal.

3 Switched ignition power to the BLUE reference wire. This can be verified by connecting

the direct connect harness to the Harness Tester, and verifying the

RED LED is on when

the vehicle’s ignition is on and the vehicle is running.

OTE: Some vehicle circuits are on timers, meaning they will supply power for a time, and then

remove power. On problem vehicles, we recommend actually driving the vehicle for at least two

minutes, while monitoring the LED lights on the Harness Tester.

4 Vehicle speed must be above 6 miles per hour. This minimum speed is adjustable, but

this should only be a concern on vehicles such as street sweepers or other slow moving

vehicles. Contact ATTI Technical Support for help if you must adjust this setting.

GPS Data Transmission

Minimum requirements from the Shadow Tracker Premier Unit to the Premier Base.

1 The Shadow Tracker Premier Tracking Unit must simply be able to connect wirelessly

with the Premier Base. If the Tracking Unit contains Historical data and a radio link can

be made between the Tracking Unit and the Premier Base, it will download.

To determine if a radio link is currently possible, the Premier Base can be put into monitor mode.

This is done by running the PBase Activity Monitor Utility program, which can be found at: C:\

Program Files\Strt\Inboundwire\PbasMon.exe.

While in monitor mode, note the Radio ID numbers displayed on screen in the PBase Activity

Monitor program window. If the Radio ID is followed by wireless error, then the Premier Base

is not currently able to connect wirelessly with the Tracking Unit. Try moving the Tracking Unit

closer to the Premier Base.
