Profiles Tab
The “Profiles” tab is used to save and retrieve device
configuration files called Profiles. A configuration may
be saved to a new file by entering a filename in the
topmost textbox and selecting “Save as New Profile”.
Existing profiles appear in the bottom textbox and may
be loaded into the tab configuration boxes by selecting
“Load Profile” or deleted by selecting “Delete”. The
“Save as Selected” allows a previously saved profile to
be edited.
Profiles are kept in a database file

Operational Standards
The SXL1 is a fully self-contained, small profile asset tracking device suitable for extended exposure
to outdoor and industrial environments. It is 3.25 inches wide, 3.25 inches long and 2.0 inch in
height. The device enclosure is molded polycarbonate. The enclosure is ultraviolet resistant and
designed to survive physical and temperature shock The battery is field replaceable. The SXL1 only
need be snapped out of it’s mounting sled to replace the battery.
The enclosure is divided into two sections, one holding the electronics assembly and the other
holding the battery assembly. The two sections are environmentally sealed from each other and from
the outside of the device. The electronics assembly passes all electrical signals through the barrier
between the two sections.
The unit contains a recessed well in the lid used to insert a magnet. This magnet aligns with the
embedded reed switch and is used to wake the device or trigger an alarm message. The magnet
must be removed for the device to function.
Mounting Provisions
The SXL1 mounting plate is smooth surfaced on the bottom to provide for adhesives mounting.
Additionally four countersunk screw holes are provided for screw mounting. The SXL1 snaps into the
mounting plate and can be secured to the mounting plate with a zip-tie or a #10 x ½” self tapping
screw.
Select a mounting location for the device that provides the clearest unobstructed view of the sky as
possible on the highest, flattest, hardest surface possible. A location that allows mounting of the unit
in a horizontal orientation provides the best view of the sky and thus greater thru put. Contact
Numerex for vertical mount considerations. A location that protects the unit from potential damage
due to tie-down straps, forklift, shifting cargo, container stacking, etc. is recommended. Note that
these hazards can also hinder message thru put.
When mounting, ensure that the unit has been properly programmed, has been placed in RUN mode
and the magnet has been removed. Several mounting techniques are available and may vary due to
application of use: VHB tape, screws, etc.
Power Standards Outline
The SXL1 operates using series pairs of 3.0V lithium metal batteries. The device uses the 6.0V DC
voltage for all battery powered operation. The battery assembly is intrinsically safe.
