4 Installation
4.1 Intro
The Smarttrig should be connected to a 5-24V power source. We highly recommend that the Smarttrig is connected in a way that makes it possible to reboot power in a simple way. This can, for example be a power switch or If the device that the Smarttrig BT is connected to also has the ability to control the power logic. For example, if the Smarttrig is used to transfer taximeter data and the taximeter has an output that can be configured to turn on at login this is a good option. The reason for this is that, if the connection between the Smarttrig and the Bluetooth masters is interrupted by external sources, the Smarttrig might need a reboot to be able to reconnect.
The detailed steps of the installation depends on which product the Smarttrig is installed with and which cable set is used. Two of the most common use cases are described below.
4.2 Connect to iToplight
The two cables below are used to connect to the iToplight.

Smarttrig BT
5 Communication
5.1 Intro
The Smarttrig BT communicates via Bluetooth, both Bluetooth Classic EDR (BT2) and Bluetooth 4.2 (Bluetooth Low Energy /BLE). Below are the default values needed for the serial communication with the module.
5.2 Default values
The default values that the Smarttrig BT module uses for serial communication are:
Supported profiles: BR/EDR-SPP, LE-GATT Baud rate: 230 400 bps Data bit: 8 Parity: None Stop bit: 1 Flow control: none Device name: itopxxxxxx (xxxxxx is last 6 characters in MAC id) SPP/EDR Pin: 1234 (to add an extra level of security with unique PIN see more info in section 6)
5.3 Data length limits and transfer speeds
The data rate of Bluetooth 4.2 can be up to 2Mbps. However, the Smarttrig BT has an internal baud rate of 230 400 bps, so the used transmission must be kept below this to avoid data loss. Also for data transferred through the serial interface, it must be made sure that the data speed of what is transmitted in to the Smarttrig BT through the BT interface does not exceed the data speed (baud rate) of the serial interface for outgoing data. Otherwise, the internal buffer of the Smarttrig BT, which is 10 kb, will be overflowed and data will be lost. Depending on your baud rate settings the time interval between transmissions must be adjusted so that the data stored in the buffer can be forwarded to the serial port before it receives the next transmission.
When communicating with Pointguard’s iToplight the Baud rate through the serial interface is 230 400 bps and this transmission speed can therefore be used in both directions.
5.3.1 From Bluetooth device, via Smarttrig BT, to serial port When sending data from a Bluetooth device, through the Smarttrig BT to the serial port we recommend that you send 5000 bytes with 100 ms interval. If a baud rate below 230400 is used time interval and chunk size must be calculated accordingly.
5.3.2 From serial port, via Smarttrig BT, to Bluetooth device When data is sent from the serial port, through the Smarttrig BT to a Bluetooth device (tablet, etc) we recommend that you send 5000 bytes with 100 ms interval. If a baud rate below 230400 is used time interval and chunk size must be calculated accordingly.

9 Triggers
9.1 Overview
The Smarttrig BT has support for 6 hardware triggers, but depending on the version and cable set used, only some of these are available externally. As default the Smarttrig BT cables sets supports two triggers that can be connected to outputs that gives 5 ­ 24V and one “loop” trigger where the Smarttrig itself feeds the trigger voltage. While activated by triggers the Smarttrig BT can send different commands over either the serial port to the connected equipment, or over Bluetooth to the connected application. Which strings are sent, and in which directions they are sent varies for the different triggers and is detailed in the following sections.
9.2 Activation of triggers 1 and 2
Triggers 1 and 2 are both activated when they receive a pulse which exceeds 3.5V and when the pulse goes from above 3.5V to no voltage. Input voltage is maximum 24V. In the example below you can see that triggers 1 and 2 will send a stored message every time voltage passed trigger threshold 3.5V on the way up to maximum 24V and then on the way down, see Figure 8.
