Product Introduction

The T622G_F9 is a brand new high-end vehicle GPS tracker with market-proven quality and precise positioning. In addition to real-time tracking, it supports Iridium communication mode and can be compatible with various peripherals. Even in some areas with poor GSM signals, it can work properly.

Product Features

ridium Communication

The device can communicate by Iridium satellites without SIM cards.
To connect Iridium satellites, you must connect the device to an external power supply and enable Iridium communication.
For more information about fees and how to enable Iridium communication, please send an email to alan.chang@joyntech.com
You need to submit the server IP address and port and the device’s IMEI number to the person.
You can set the Iridium satellite uploading mode (mode 3, mode 4, or mode 5) by Meitrack Manager or MS03 tracking platform, as shown in the following figure.

The device supports five working modes as follows:

1. Mode 1: Transmit data by GSM.
2. Mode 2: When the device cannot connect to the server by GSM, the network will be switched to Iridium automatically. Once the GSM signal recovers, the network will be switched to GSM.
3. Mode 3: Transmit data by GSM and Iridium.
4. Mode 4: Transmit all positioning data by Iridium.
5. Mode 5: Transmit minimum positioning data by Iridium, including latitude, longitude, and time.

Note: the default working mode of Iridium communication is mode 5, and the upload time interval is 1 hour by default.

The Iridium antenna should be connected to the device as follows, and do not install the antenna at a metal-covered place.

There are five Iridium satellite signal levels. When the signal level is 0, the Iridium communication cannot be established. To receive Iridium satellite signals,  the signal level must be greater than 1. (The Iridium satellite signals will be stable at open places. For example, in underground parking lots, the device  cannot receive Iridium satellite signals.)

Cautions:

1. Iridium communication is expensive. Before enabling Iridium communication, please confirm the data uploading time interval.
2. Iridium satellites are used for network communication only and don’t support voice communication.
3. If the device uses Iridium communication, it will upload positioning data only and will not upload CAN bus data.

Garmin Navigator

After the device is connected to a Garmin navigator, the GPS navigation, information dispatching, and location query functions become available.
The device can connect to the Garmin navigator which supports FMI protocol V2.5 or later, and you must purchase the Garmin data cable.
For details about the Garmin navigator, please visit the website:
http://www8.garmin.com/solutions/mobile-resource-management/supported- devices/.
For details about how to install and use the Garmin navigator, see the Garmin Navigator User Guide.

Harsh Acceleration/Braking Alert

You can detect the harsh acceleration/braking alert by setting the limit value.
Cautions on-device installation:

1. The device should be installed into the vehicle according to the following direction.
2. The device installation angle cannot exceed 15 degrees.

The default harsh acceleration and braking alert values are 230 mG and -300 mG respectively.
Note: The alert results vary according to the device installation, vehicle model, vehicle weight, and driving behaviors. After the device has been installed properly, you can use the Meitrack Manager software to adjust the harsh acceleration and braking alert values by every 10 mG. You can also use the D79  command to set the values.

Roaming Mode

On the Meitrack Manager page, device parameters in roaming mode differ from that in non-roaming mode. When the device detects that it is in roaming mode, it will be operated according to roaming parameters. This helps to save network traffic and learn about the device’s working status.

CAN Bus Interface

The device can read CAN bus data of a vehicle that supports the FMS protocol.
The following data can be read: vehicle speed, vehicle control status, accelerator pedal position (%), total fuel consumption, engine rotational speed, total engine run time, total mileage, engine coolant temperature, fuel level, engine torque, ambient temperature, torque at current speed, fuel consumption rate,  axle weight, service distance, and instantaneous fuel consumption.

Caution:

1. To obtain the preceding data, the vehicle must support the FMS protocol.
2. Install the device based on vehicle types. Connect vehicle’s CANH and CANL wires to tracker’s CANH and CANL connectors respectively.

GPS Data Filtering

The GPS data filtering function can ensure GPS data accuracy and eliminate static drift.
You can set the following parameters by Meitrack Manager: GPS speed range, GPS positioning accuracy, and Number of GPS satellites. When the GPS data filtering function is enabled, if all conditions are met, GPS data will be updated. Otherwise, GPS data will be invalid.

Note: This function can be enabled by Meitrack Manager.

Activating Output by Event

You can activate output by the event.

For example:

1. When speeding is detected, the device can control buzzer sounds.
2. When unauthorized ignition or GPS antenna cut-off is detected, the engine will not be able to start.
3. When RFID triggering is detected, the device can control the vehicle door.
4. When input or output status is detected, the output will be active or inactive.
