It is assumed that the GS-6C has been previously configured by RSAE Labs prior to the end user
receiving the device. As such, details on configuring the device are outside of the scope of this
document.
1.1. Device Description
The GS-6C, shown in Figure 1, is a battery-operated device used to secure and track standard ISO 20’
and 40’ containers. It includes sensors for accurately determining when and where the container doors
are opened and closed. It includes a GPS/GNSS receiver for tracking the container around the world
and alerting when containers arrive at specific locations such as origins, destinations, ports, and rail
yards. In addition, the GS-6C includes light sensors for sensing whether the container has been
breached through the ceiling, floor, and side panels.
The primary user interface is the mist

and System LED’s as shown in Figure 2. The function of the
LED’s is described in Section 2.1 and 2.2. Operators should use the battery pack as a handle.
