Quick Reference

Attention

1. SolarGuardX 100 obtains power through sunlight to extend the battery life.
2. Please make sure that the device is exposed to direct sunlight every day. This will be very useful to extend the battery life. If the device is not charged for more than three months, it may cause permanent damage to the internal battery.
3. Please give the device a fully charging before installation.
4. Only when the solar panel output voltage value is 0.3V higher than device battery voltage value, the solar panel will start to charge the battery. Otherwise, the solar charging will stop.
5. To ensure the battery life for longer period, please be careful to set the reporting intervals. Lower reporting rates will maintain the balance between the power consumption and gaining (from solar panel). We usually recommend set the tracker reporting ≥every 5 mins when moving, and ≥every 1 hour when standstill. Customer may also contact with TOPFLYtech for further advice. Equipment power consumption and solar panel charging current
6. The normal device power consumption is around 40mAh when the device is in working mode without sleep.
7. The typical charging rate of the solar panel under direct sunlight at noon (in summer) is about 330mAh (different sunlight illumination, different charging current).

Disclaimer: Before using this device, customers should fully understand their usage scenarios and installation environment. TOPFLYtech will not be responsible for any lost caused by using the device in a wrong scenario or reporting rate. It is highly recommended that customers should contact TOPFLYtech before deployment. We are glad to give suggestions.

Intelligent Power Management

To extend the battery life, we designed an intelligent power management algorithm. This algorithm allows the tracker working under a lower reporting rate when battery is low. Once the battery is charged back, the tracker will report as normal. This function is enabled in default. Customer can disable it by command. The detail working logic is:

• When the battery voltage value is down to 3.4V, then the tracker will report at every 24 hours no matter moving or standstill.
• When the battery is charged back to 3.5V, the device will report as what are set by customer.

FOTA (firmware over the air) Notification

TOPFLYtech is committed to providing clients with the best user experience. We are offering automatic firmware update feature for every device. This feature allows devices always having the latest version firmware. It can save clients the time and effort of updating firmware manually. Please note that this feature is enabled in default. If you want to turn it off, please contact with TOPFLYtech. If this feature is disabled, the FW update only can be done by sending upgrade command manually.

Standard Accessories Introduction

LED indicator

Note: Indicator lights will go out automatically after the tracker turns on for 70 seconds without connecting to the external power via USB cable.

LED indicator working status:

• Solid on: LED indicator on and no flashing
• Fast flashing: 0.25 second on and 0.25 second off
• Slow flashing: 1 second on and 1 second off
• Unlock: Unlock successfully, RFID LED indicator will show solid on until plug out the lock rope. If the rope isn’t taken out in 60 seconds, device will lock again, and LED indicator goes off.
• Lock: After lock successfully, RFID LED indicator will be fast flashing for 2 seconds then off.
• Wake up the device: Device gets the wake up info, RFID LED indicator will show slow flashing 300 seconds or get the unlock command from server side then switch to unlock process.
• Incorrect RFID Card or Correct RFID Communication Error: Network & GNSS & RFID LED Fast flashing 5 seconds.
• Lock Error: Network & GNSS & RFID LED on (The maximum duration of continuous light is 300 seconds then off or the error disappear) – This is mechanical failure.
• Unlock Error: GNSS & RFID LED on (The maximum duration of continuous light is 300 seconds then off or the error disappear) – This is mechanical failure.

Installation Guide

• SIM card pre-installation note
  •  SIM card data service should be enabled.
  • If SIM card is locked via PIN, please unlock it first.
  • Ensure there is sufficient balance in the SIM card.
• SIM card installation and tracker power switch
  •  Open the tracker SIM card cover with the screwdriver.
  • Unlock SIM cover and insert sim card then lock. Turn the power switch from off to on.
  • Put the cover back and use screwdriver to fix the cover tightly.
• Fix Screws
  • It is VERY IMPORTANT to fix the 4 SIM card cover screws to prevent water from leaking inside and cause damage to device.
  • TOPFLYtech offers the electric screwdriver (TA38) as an optional accessory to help customer standardize the screw fixing strength.
  • Please use strength level 8 if using TOPFLYtech electric screwdriver (TA38)
  • For third party electric screwdriver, please use torque 3.5kgf.cm.
• Installation
  Away from emission source such as all kinds of sensors, burglar alarm and other communication devices.

Tracker Operation

• Physical power on or off

  • Turn the power switch to on or off position.
  •  Physical power off is recommended when the tracker is stored in the warehouse.

• The battery

  • Place the tracker solar panel side on the desk
  • Recommend connecting the device to a 5V 1A (cellphone) adaptor through magnet USB cable for 30 hours charging to make sure the battery is fully charged.
  • Customer also can connect the tracker to other USB connectors. But lower current output will cause longer charging time.
  • When the battery voltage value drops to 3.3V, usually a battery charging is needed to avoid unexpected shutdown due to low power. If the battery runs out completely, please keep the tracker charging for 24 hours first. Only when the battery is charged to 3.5V, the device will power on again

• Get Current Position

  • SMS Query (only when the device in working mode and registered on the network) Device default PIN is 0000. Send a location inquiry SMS command (google,0000#) to the tracker. The location information will be sent back through SMS (the tracker
    SIM card must support receiving and sending SMS first).

  • Platform Query
    Connect your tracker to the tracking platform then check the real-time position online. (Additional tracking service charge may happen. Contact with your service provider to get more details)

Alarm Configuration

Alarm configuration please via the TOPFLYtech configuration tool

Quick Trouble Shooting

• Unable to Connect to the Tracking Platform

  • Check the APN and IP settings.
  • Check the SIM card data service whether enabled.
  • Make sure there is no limitation or already added server IP to the SIM card IP whitelist when using a M2M SIM card.
  • Check the balance/data of the SIM card.

• Tracker Shows Offline

  • Check the battery remaining power
  • Check if the device entered into network blind area.
  • Check the SIM card balance.
  • If the connection lost happens on the last several days of the month, check whether the network service is terminated by carrier because of exceeding the max data usage volume

• Unable to Locate

  • The device may shield by metallic things.
  • The device may enter into an area with no satellite signal coverage. (Underground, building, etc)

• Position Drift
  In an area with poor GNSS signal (like the areas with lots of high buildings), position drift may happen. When the device moves to open area, the drift will no longer exist.

• No Command Reply

  • Check the command format. Make sure it’s correct.
  • The device may be in network blind area.
  • Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted

Warranty and Stock

The device standard warranty period is 12 months starting from the date of purchasing. If the device will be stored for a long time, please connect it to the external power and recharge the internal battery (20 hours) every 3 months. It will be helpful to extend the internal battery life.
