Overview
System Loco Ltd’s ‘LocoTrack Primary’ is designed for detecting the presence of LocoTags in transit for supply chain, logistics, and asset monitoring applications.
There are three variants:
- HGD4 – a disposable device designed for close tracking of packages, containing 4 AA alkaline batteries.
- NOTE the HGD4 supports a circular economy approach to supply chain tracking, with recovered devices being easily refurbished and re-used
- HGP4 – an ultra long-life asset tracking device placed on or inside a package or fixed to an asset, containing 8 AA alkaline batteries.
- HGC4 – a long-life asset tracking device for pallet tracking, mounted in the pallet, containing 4 C-cell alkaline batteries.

Operating Conditions
- -20 degrees C to 55 degrees C
- IP67
Operating Cycle
When installed the LocoTrack Primary is placed inside or onto an asset and turned on.
For both variants, the device will only be handled by human operators when it is installed and when it is removed from an asset. After it is removed, the device is switched off and (typically) recycled.
HGD4
The LocoTrack Primary can be configured to operate in different ways. The
device wakes up periodically to perform operations. Between operations the
device’s radios are asleep. In the expected use case for the HGD4 the
operating cycle will be as follows:
When the device is stationary, every four hours the device will wake up, perform radio operations and go back to sleep. The on-time is usually 1 minute. The moving state is used when the device is packaged inside a shipment of goods and is in transit by sea, air, or ground (during which periods, the device is not handled).
HGP4
In the expected use case for the HGP4 the operating cycle will be as follows:
The device will wake up once every 24 hours, perform radio operations and go
back to sleep.
The on-time is usually 1 minute.
HGC4
The HGC4 operating cycle is the same as the HGP4
