1. Quick Reference

KnightX 100

Attention

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, tracker will send position message at every 24 hours no matter ignition (motion) on or off. Alarm (event) message will not be affected and sent out immediately regardless of whether the tracker is in this mode.
• When the battery is charged back to 3.5V, the device will report at its TIMER setting.

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.

4. Installation Guide

4.1 SIM Card Pre-Installation Note
4.1.1 SIM card data service should be enabled.
4.1.2 If SIM card is locked via PIN, please unlock it first.
4.1.3 Ensure there is sufficient balance in the SIM card.

4.2 SIM card installation
4.2.1 Open the rubber stopper on the side
4.2.2 Insert the SIM card by following the direction icon on the tracker cover
4.2.3 Give a little push to the SIM card. When there is a “click” sound, it stands for the SIM card has been successfully inserted

4.3 Control button work logic

Power on (default enable)| Hold on the button more than 6 seconds, device will vibration 1
seconds and all LEDs start to work
---|---
Device health status check (default enable)| When device is in power on status, click the button 5 times in a row (each interval is less than 1 second), device’s LEDs will work 100 seconds and indicate
GNSS status:
if disable GPS, it will not on, if enable GPS, solid on, get GNSS signal, 1 second on and 1 second off, searching GNSS signal . Network status:
solid on, get network signal, 1 second on and 1 second off, searching network.
Battery status:
solid on battery level  ≥90%, 1 second on and 1 second off 90% > battery level ≥10%, 0.5 second on and 0.5 second off 10%>battery level .

5.1 Unable to Connect to the Tracking Platform
5.1.1 Check the APN and IP settings.
5.1.2 Check the SIM card whether support specific network and the data service whether is enabled.
5.1.3 Make sure there is no limitation or already added server IP to the IP whitelist when using a M2M SIM card.
5.1.4 Check the remaining balance or network signal of the SIM card.

5.2 Tracker Shows Offline
5.2.1 Check the external power voltage to see whether the tracker is disconnected from external power.
5.2.2 Check whether the vehicle entered network blind area.
5.2.3 Check the balance of tracker SIM card.
5.2.4 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.

6. Tracker Operation

6.1 The battery

6.1.1 Recommend connecting the device to a 5V 1A (cellphone) adaptor
6.1.2 Customer also can connect the tracker to other USB connectors. But lower current output will cause longer charging time.
6.1.3 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 3.4V, the device will power on again.

6.2 Get Current Position

6.2.1 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).

6.2.2 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)

7. Alarm Configuration

7.1 Alarm sent through network
7.1.1 alarm_set,0000,a,b,0,0,#
7.1.2 0000 is device default PIN
7.1.3 a=alarm code, value from 1 to 31
