Product Introduction

The T366 series of products is a vehicle GPS tracker with IP67 water- resistance rating and can be installed into cars, motorcycles, yachts, and boats. It is equipped with built-in GPS and GSM antennas. The unit can work well in extreme environments.

2.1 Product Features
2.1.1 Harsh Acceleration/Braking/Harsh Cornering Alert
You can detect the harsh acceleration/braking/Harsh Cornering alert by setting the limit value.
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 BBD command, BC6 command, and Meitrack Manager software to adjust the harsh acceleration and braking alert values.

2.1.2 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.

Note: This function can be enabled by Meitrack Manager.

2.1.3 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 iButton triggering is detected, the device can control engine startup.
4. When input or output status is detected, the output will be active or inactive.

2.1.4 Idling Detection
This function is used to detect whether a vehicle’s engine is switched off while parking. To enable the function, you must connect input 2 to ACC detection. When the device detects that the driving speed is 0 and the ACC is on for one consecutive minute (default time), an idling alert will be generated. For details, see section 6.5.4 “Setting the Idling Alert – B14.”

2.1.5 Changing I/O Port Mode
This function is used to change the I/O port mode. For example, change active negative input to analog port or positive input. For details, see section 6.5.6 “Setting I/O Port Status – C08.”
2.1.6 Auto Arming
You can enable the auto arming function by B27 command, Meitrack Manager software, or MS03 tracking platform. This function is disabled by default. When the device is in sleep mode and the function has been enabled, the device will enter an auto arming state. You can set disarming by the B21 command.

Function| Call| GPRS| SMS| Output 1| Buzzer| Description
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Open vehicle doors in arming state| √| √| √| | √| When a vehicle door is opened without permission, the device will dial the authorized phone numbers in sequence and send a vehicle theft alert by SMS or GPRS. The buzzer will not stop buzzing until the arming state is disabled.
Start the engine in arming state| √| √| √| √| √| When the engine is started in an arming state, the vehicle fuel will be cut off, and the device will dial the authorized phone numbers in sequence and send a vehicle theft alert by SMS or GPRS.

Note: You cannot use the remote control to set arming when the vehicle is moving.
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Tow vehicles
in arming state| √| √| √| | | When the ACC is off and the vehicle vibrates
continuously, a towing alert will be generated. The device will dial the authorized phone numbers in sequence and send a vehicle theft alert by SMS or GPRS. The buzzer will make sounds for five consecutive minutes. During this period, you can disable the arming state, and then the buzzer will stop buzzing.

Note:

1. To implement the fuel/power cut-off function for a vehicle theft alert, you should select the vehicle theft event in the Output 1 column on the Meitrack Manager software.
2. To implement the alert function of the buzzer, you should set the 1-Wire interface (green cable) to alert output.

2.1.7 Starting the Engine by RFID/iButton
After swiping the authorized RFID card or the authorized iButton key touches the iButton reader, the driver must start the engine within 1 minute. Otherwise, the tracker’s output 1 will be triggered (engine cut-off), and thus the driver cannot start the vehicle. At the moment, if you want to start the engine, you must swipe the iButton key/RFID card again.
Before starting the engine, ensure that:

1. The tracker’s input 2 is connected to the engine detection cable.
2. An iButton key or RFID card has been authorized.
3. The tracker’s output 1 is connected to the engine control cable through a relay.
4. The RFID ignition function has been enabled by Meitrack Manager or MS03 tracking platform.
5. The RFID event has been enabled on Meitrack Manager.
