6 FoxLite Basic Functions

FoxLite Basic Functions are:

• Algorithm with intelligent criteria for selecting points in time for sending data with
GPS position. The objective of this algorithm is to minimize GPS data to be sent, and to
give the best information about vehicle's moving,
• Calculation of distance traveled by vehicle and sending this information together with
GPS data,
• Calculation of maximum speed during one drive,
• Calculation of maximum speed between two successive regular GPS positions,
• Sending events caused by digital inputs or changes in status of the vehicle,
• Logger capacity more than 30.000 records,
• Sending records in real time, or logging records using user defined time periods,
• Roaming detection, and automatic logging for the time period being in roaming,
• Different sending parameters for roaming,
• Optimal GSM network selection in roaming. Algorithm built inside the device is
designed to select optimal GSM network by sending price using netlist file. Netlist file
contains GSM network list with prices. Networks can be marked as white (use this
network wherever possible) or black do not use this network or neutral.
• GSM cell ID/name sending,
• Possibility to connect external alarm output to the device (external alarm function)
• Fuel consumption measure,
• Vehicle accumulator monitoring,
• Device backup battery low event,
• Remote device parameters setup ability,
• Remote device management ability,
• Remote device debug ability,
• Remote firmware updating ability,
• Parameter backup on SIM card,
• Two selectable sending formats, binary and XML formats.
• Ability to use M2M SIM cards.
• Advanced power save function.

6.1 Sending Records Using GPRS

Sending information using GPRS service is primary function of the device. Record contains
information such as: time, GPS position, GSM cell info, vehicle's status information and other
event data. Content of the record is fully configurable using device setup.
All records can be classified in two categories:
• Record with regular GPS position data, generated by intelligent sending
algorithm.(idStatusa=0)
• Unsynchronized records with event data (idStatusa ≠ 0).

12
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

6.1.1 Sending Regular GPS Data

Tracking vehicle in movement using electronic maps is possible only if device periodically
sends GPS position data. This period can be caused by time, distance or vehicle direction
difference between present and last send position.
Device built-in expert system takes more parameters into account to resolve best time for
sending data. Main goal is to minimize sending data and to have optimal track on map. Device
will send GPS data if this conditions are met:
• as soon as device receives first valid GPS position (only on startups, and in case of
loosing GPS signal in tunnels, garages and etc.),
• vehicle stops moving for more than 30sec (contact key on),
• vehicle starts moving after 6 seconds (contact key on),
• if maximum sending time from last sent position expires (contact key on),
• if maximum distance from last sent position has been traveled (contact key on),
• if all following four conditions are met at the same time (contact key on):
o minimum time from last sent position has expired
o minimal direction change from last sent position has occurred
o vehicle is moving faster than minimal setup speed
o minimal distance from last sent position is traveled.

Record with regular GPS data includes time information, vehicle status, GSM cell info,
distance traveled from device start up (wake up from power save) and (if selected), max speed
between two successive records with regular GPS data.

6.1.2 Sending Events

Device sends event data when event occur. Record with event data includes: event ID, time
when event occur, GPS position where event occurred, GSM cell info, vehicle status, and event
data. Event will be sent when:
• change of state on digital inputs occurred,
• change of state on digital outputs occurred
• vehicle speed is over limit,
• engine RPM is over limit,
• package of fuel measurement is generated,
• vehicle accumulator under voltage is detected,
• no valid GPS signal has been detected for more than 24hours,
• device responds on remote commands,
• sim card connection is lost.
• changing state of the device (reset or waking up from power save mode)
• ...

6.2 Calculation of Traveled Distance

Using GPS data, device calculates distance traveled from from first startup to present position
in meters. Traveled distance is sent as part of regular GPS data records (Event 0) and with
contact on/off message. Total error of traveled distance calculation algorithm depends on GPS
reception, and in cases when GPS signal is continuous can be less then 2%.

13
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

6.3 Calculation of vehicle maximum speed during one ride

Using GPS data, device calculates vehicle maximum speed during one ride (between contact on
and contact off message). Calculated maximum vehicle speed is sent with contact off message.

6.4 Calculation of vehicle maximum speed between two regular GPS positions
Using GPS data, device calculates vehicle maximum speed between two regular GPS positions.
This feature is configurable using parameter Max Point Speed. MaxSpeed is sent with regular
GPS data messages.

6.5 Data Logging

FoxLite device logger has capacity of more than 30.000 records. Logger can be configured to
work in three different modes:
• Real time sending. In this mode no records is logged unless GPRS signal is weak or
there is no response from the server.
• Data logging while in roaming. Device can be setup to log data records while device is
in roaming. Device will stop logging and send logged data as soon as vehicle enters
home GSM networks.
• Sending log periodically. Device can be setup to send log with predefined time period
or at predefined daytime.

6.6 Different sending parameters for roaming

FoxLite device can use different sending parameters when roaming is detected. Using this
option, user will have much lower costs for sending data via GPRS when in roaming.
Following parameters can be setup to have different value in roaming:

• Send GPS position when in roaming,

• Maximum time period for position sending when in roaming,
• Minimum time period for position sending when in roaming,
• Minimum distance for position sending when in roaming,
• Minimum vehicle speed required for position sending when in roaming,
• Minimum direction change for position sending when in roaming,
• Maximum distance for position sending when in roaming,
• Configure auto command time when in roaming,
• Configure event sending option when in roaming,
• Loger mode when in roaming,
• Logger period when in roaming,
• Sending log daytime when in roaming.

6.7 External Alarm Function

External alarm function uses external alarm that is already built in the vehicle. External alarm
is connected to FoxLite device to the external alarm pin (see chapter 4.2 ). This input pin will
detect only impulses that last more than 2.5sec. When external alarm activates, it triggers
FoxLite input pin and device sends message to server or/and mobile phone.

14
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

To setup SMS alarm notification enter user phone numbers on first three positions in
phonebook: 1,+123... 2,+456... 3,+789..., and turn on SmsAlarm parameter using
FoxLiteConfigurator software.

6.8 Fuel Level Measurement

FoxLite device can measure fuel level in vehicle tank using fuel measurement sensor that is
already built in vehicle. In order to measure fuel level properly, device should be connected
and parametrized according to following instructions.

6.8.1 Selecting Position for connecting Fuel Measurement Pin

One of the best positions for connecting fuel measurement pin (see chapter 4.2 ) is directly on
fuel measuring sensor (i.e. buoy). The fuel measuring sensor wire is usually brought to
instrument board or it is connected to board computer of the vehicle. Since these positions are
usually closer to the position where FoxLite device is installed it is recomended to connect
them there.

6.8.2 Setting Parameters for FoxLite Device Fuel Measurement

DC voltage from the fuel-measuring instrument is proportional (or vice versa) to fuel level.
Device has built in attenuation module which could spread measuring range. Voltage lavels for
full and empty tank are advised to be within 0 to 24V. In order to set parameters for fuel
measurement it is necessary to identify:
• Input voltage range, in order to set proper attenuation using parametar Analog Input
Attenuation, which can be in range 0 to 100 in steps of 1.
FoxLite2.0 has uniqe algorithm for fuel measurement. It works well with continuous or
impulse signals, as long as average signal level depends on fuel level.
Be considered to measure precise input voltage range to set proper attenuation. Attenuation is
entered in percentage (0-means no atttenuation, 50 means 50% of attenuation). For proper
setup refer to the next table.

Maximum voltage on fuel input Attenuation, AIA [%]

max voltage less than 2.4V 0
<3.0V 20
<4.0V 40
<5.0V 50
<6.0V 60
<8.0V 70
<10.0V 76
<12.0V 80
<15.0V 84
<20.0V 88
<24.0V 90

15
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

In order to measure fuel, fuel signal should be connected to pin 5 of FoxLite2 device. Also
option 0 should be selected for GPIO 3 Configuration and Fuel Measure Enable should be
enabled in configurator.

6.9 Engine RPM Measurement

Engine RPM measurement is performed by measuring frequency of pulses generated with each
rotation of the engine. Number of pulses per single rotation depends on the type of vehicle and
engine. It can be set through FoxLiteConfiguration progam in range from 1 to 100. Values 1.5
and 2.5, atc. are also allowed. Number of pulses per rotation is determined by measuring the
frequency on wire leading to FoxLite device when engine is running. When the measured
frequency(measured by multimeter or osciloskop) multiplies by 60 and then divides with
current RPM (read on vehicle RPM instrument) you have the number which is to be setup.
(RPMcoef=Fmeasured*60/RPMvehicle)
FoxLite RPM measuring frequency range is in range from 0 to 8KHz.
Device has built in hardware frequency divider and after setting up RMPcoef parametaer
device will be restarted. Change will be noticable 30-60s after device reset.

In order to RPM measurement functions properly, vehicle RPM signal must fulfill the
following conditions:
1. voltage VL must be less than 0.8V (picture 2.)
2. voltage VH must be more than 2.2V (picture 2.)
3. time intervals tH and tL must be more than 62.5us (picture 2.).

VL
tH tL

t
Picture 2.

In order to measure RPM, RPM signal should be connected to pin 6 of FoxLite2 device. Also
option 0 should be selected for GPIO 4 Configuration in configurator.

6.8Accumulator under voltage detection

When device detects that accumulator voltage is 10% lower then the value specified in Vehicle
nominal power supply parameter, the Accumulator undervoltage event is generated. This event
will be sent to server for every 5 minutes while contact key (ignition) is on and only once when
contact is off.
Additionaly, device is supplied with over discharge protection circuit to protect vehicle's
battery from over discharging. Over discharge circuit is designed for vehicle power supply
12V, and can not be applied to 24V power supply.

6.9 Remote Parameter Setup

FoxLite parameters can be set up remotely. There are two different ways to accomplish
parameters change:
• from server, using GPRS,
• from cell phone, using SMS.
In cases using SMS, device accepts commands only from SIM card registered in the device as
Server phone number.
If you want to use server for remote parameter change, store command on server side and wait
for the device to read it. Device has procedure which periodically reads commands from server
using GPRS service (parameter AutoCommandTime). Every command read will cause new
socket connection and it is recommended to keep AutoCommandTime not to low. Voice call
from server phone number will initiate instant command read. Command format for parameter
update is given in chapters 10 .

6.10 Remote Executive Commands

Device is able to execute remote commands from server (sent by GPRS) or from server phone
number (sent by SMS). Here is possible list of actions see chapter 10 for details:
• remote firmware update,
• activate/deactivate device outputs,
• send position and vehicle status on demand (instant sending independent of logging
mode and roaming status),
• restore parameters from SIM card,
• reset the device,
• read device parameters,
• read device debug information.
• read device log file
• delete device log file

6.11 Backup Device Parameters on SIM Card

SIM card in FoxLite can be used for parameter back up. If there is need for device replacement,
parameters can be transmitted from device to device using SIM card. Parameter back up in SIM
card is performed on any successful parameter change through menu or by remote command.
Parameters can be restored (copied from SIM) to device using device menu or remotely using
RSS: command.

6.12 Remote Firmware Update

Firmware in FoxLite can be remotely updated. Firmware can be updated while device is in
regular operating conditions. During that time device stops with regular work.
Firmware updating procedure can be initiated by command from Server or from Server Phone
Number. Device's parameter will not be changed after performing remote firmware update. In
case new firmware is using new parameter (one that did not exist in previous firmware
version), one will be created and set to default value.
Time for firmware update is between 2 and 5min depending on GPRS signal quality and size of
files that had to be downloaded from update server.

Note: It is strongly recommended not to send messages or make phone calls to device while it
is in firmware update progress. Also, although it is possible, don’t send multiple commands in
SMS message with firmware update command.
Firmware update result codes:
10 – firmware successfully updated
20 – error during firmware update or firmware is already updated
60 – error using GPRS service

6.13 Data Formats

Device can be configured to use one of two public sending protocols for sending data to server:
• binary, communication protocol code 1
• XML, communication protocol code 2
If you need more information about these two protocols contact Fox technical support and refer
to document FoxCommunicationProtocol.doc.
Communication protocol codes 3-6 are for internal use.
If you are using complete Geneko solution FoxLite devices are already set to proper protocol,
which is not to be changed.

6.14 Advanced Power Save Option

Power save function is designed to reduce power consumption of the device when the vehicle
is not in use. After parking the vehicle (after contact key is switched off) device will go to
power save mode. Power consumption in this mode can be less than 10mA if internal battery
doesn’t need to be charged and if both modules (GPRS and GPS) are turned off. In power save
mode device doesn't send any records using GPRS but GSM receiver is in stand by mode
allowing reception of incoming voice calls and SMS messages.

There are 4 parameters to be setup for Power Save mode:

• Power Save on/off. According to value of this parameter, Power Save function can be
disabled or enabled. If disabled, device will newer go to Power Save, and it will
operate in normal operating mode all the time. If enabled, device will go to Power
Save mode in predefined time from switching contact key (ignition) off. When
contact key is switched on, device will exit Power Save mode and enter normal
operating mode in approx. 7sec.
• GPS module power save option. GPS receiver in power save mode can either be
turned off or kept running. If turned on receiver keeps constant receiving GPS
position and as soon as device exits power save mode, new valid position will be
available. Otherwise it takes approx. 42sec (average) for GPS receiver to receive first
valid GPS position. If GPS receiver is turn off during power save, power
consumption would be significantly less then if kept running.
• Power Save time. Device will go to Power Save mode after contact key (ignition) off
and when time defined by this parameter expired.
• Power Save wake-up time. FoxLite device can be set up to wake-up periodically.
After wake-up, device will send one WDT start (event 11) and one position (event 0)
message. Device will return to power save mode 5min after wake-up. If 0min is setup
for wake-up time, device will not wake up periodically.

6.15 Optimal GSM network selection

FoxLite device is equipped with algorithm for optimal GSM network selection in roaming. It is
optimized by sending price. This feauture to be available, one must supply full list of roaming
partners with price lists for desirabla SIM card to the RB GeneralEkonomik. The RB
GeneralEkonomik support team will use this information to develop netlist file for desired SIM
card which can be uploaded to FoxLite device remotely. Once netlist file is uploaded device
will start using optimal algorithm for GSM network selection. Netlist file can be updated as
soon as new information about GSM provider price lists is available. Netlist file allowes to
mark certain GSM providers as white (use this provide wherever possible), black (not use this
provider, unless no other is available but not use GPRS chanel), neutral (use this provider
wherever white network is unavailable).Currently netlist for networks 22003 and 22001 are
available for uploading.

6.16 Panic taster

Any GPI pin can be configured to be panic taster. Two parameter need to be configured: GPIO
X Configuration must be set to 1, and GP Input_X pin Event Code must be set to 1070. See
chapter 12 for details about panic button installation.

6.17 SMS notification

This feature allowes device to send SMS notification to predifined phone in different situations.
SMS notification numbers are first three numbers in phone book marked as 1,+****, 2,+****,
3,+****. Situations when device send SMS notification are:
• SMS GPS position on call. After receiving a voice call from registered phone number
(phone book numbers starting with 1-100). FoxLite replies with SMS including GPS
data.
• SMS alarm notification. When alarm event occurred, device would send SMS
notification to three predefined phone numbers.
• SMS panic notification. When panic button event occurred, device would send SMS
notification to three predefined phone numbers.

7 Device Connection in vehicle

7.1 Device and GPS Antenna Position Selection

FoxLite device should be built in vehicle on place where is normal humidity, no heat sources
and no moving parts near device which could demage device cassing, GPS antenna and main
connector/cable. Device should be attached to vehicle using plastic clamps.
GSM antenna is built-in FoxLite device. Therefore, device should be placed on position where
GSM signal will not be unacceptably reduced. If this is not possible, optional external GSM
antenna should be used.
GPS antenna must be placed into horizontal position, i.e. the antenna upper surface has to face
the sky. The material over the GPS antenna have not to be metal, since this would reduce or
completely degrade GPS signal quality. The best position for installing GPS antena is under
plastic parts of instrument table, the closest possible to the surface.

7.2 Main Power Supply Connection

For main power supply, vehicle accumulator voltage is connected to corresponding pin of the
main cable (see chapter 4.2 ). Since there is 3A fuse inside FoxLite device, it is not necessary
to connect power supply through some of the vehicle fuses (it can be coonected directly on
accumulator + end). FoxLite device is designed for operation with accumulator voltages of 12V
and 24V.
Ground i.e. another conductor for power supply from the main connector (see chapter 4.2 )
should be connected to accumulator negative end. (or vehicle metal chassis if it is connected to
ground).
Note: when performing this action all precaution measures should be taken so that
accumulator positive end does not cause short circuit with metal chassis of the vehicle.

7.3 Input and Output Connection

FoxLite has up to 6 digital inputs. Signals from the switches or other digital signals actuators in
the vehicle can be connected directly to them. Digital inputs can sustain voltage in range from -
100V to +100V.
FoxLite has up to 2 digital outputs. Both of them are multiplexed with digital input pins. One
digital output is designed as positive driven pin (it gives positive voltage equal to accumulator
voltage when turned on, or it is in high impedance state when turned off). Second digital output
is designed as negative driven pin (it connects to the ground when turned on, or it is in high
impedance state when turned off). Both digital output pins are fused with 200mA current
capacity fuses with autorecovery. For larger consumers additional relays should be used on
output pins.
FoxLite has up to 1 analog input. If selected, this input is used for tank fuel quantity
measurement.

signalization.Red LED will start blinking, after a while blue LED will start blinking (or light on
continually).
Step6: Close slide door.
Step7: Connect main connector to FoxLite device. Green LED will turn ON, if not refer to step
5. If it is still off check main power voltage.
Step8: Configure device for proper operation regime using FoxLiteConfigurator program.
After saving configuration in FoxLiteConfiguration program, device will restart, and it should
start sending data to server in approximetly 60sec.
Step 9: Fix device in the vehicle where the following conditions are satisfied:
• solid surface directly linked to vehicle chassis.
• hard to be reached and hidden position in order not to be seen and easily reached
• as far as possible from all moving parts of the vehicle, like motor, transmitter, shafts,
wheels, etc.
• in locations where there is no humidity or condensation due to high temperature
discrepancies
• away from heat sources

10 Remote Parameter Change and Command Protocol

FoxLite device can be setup or commanded remotely on two ways:
• from server using GPRS connection,
• from mobile phone using SMS messages.

10.1 Remote parameter change and commanding from server

FoxLite device can read commands from server by GPRS (same IP address that it uses for
sending vehicle position/status data). Command read can be initiated in two ways:
• by periodical cammand read that can be setup in device menu
• by voice call made from Server Phone Number to phone number installed in FoxLite
device. In this case (if GSM module is not turned off) FoxLite device will refuse call
and start command read from server.
In order to change parameters or to command device using server, following options should be
enabled and setup:
• SIM card used in FoxLite device must have enabled incomming voice calls,
• Server Phone Number must be setup
• Server command port must be setup

When FoxLite device connects to server for command read, it will send following sequence:

STXvehicleIdETX

where:
STX=0x02 and ETX=0x03
vehicleId is vehicle ID in ASCII format.

example: sequence for vehicle with ID 125 is: STX125ETX

On FoxLite request, server will answer by sending command in following format:

STX<Command Code>:<Value>,<Command Code>:<Value>, ...ETX

where:
STX=0x02 and ETX=0x03,
<Command Code> is string of one, two or three characters (obligatory)
: separator (obligatory)
<Value> parameter value (in some commands this field is not obligatory)

example: sequence in ASCII format: STXGU:mobtel,GP:gprs,GA:internetETX

Command codes are listed in following chapters

When FoxLite device receive and execute command from server, it will send response to server
via GPRS (Event code 80).

36
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

10.2 Remote Parameter Change and Commanding From Mobile Phone

Commands can be sent by mobile phone using SMS. Device will accept commands from SMS
even if GSM parameters in device are not set. SMS messages must be sent from Server Phone
Number.
In order to change parameters or to command device using SMS, following options should be
enabled and setup:
• SIM card used in FoxLite device must have enabled incomming SMS mesages,
• Server Phone Number must be setup
FoxLite device will process received SMS message and notify server about parameter change
outcome.
Note: even if it is possible remote vehicle ID change is not recommended if not necessary

SMS example: GU:mobtel,GP:gprs,GA:internet

When FoxLite device receive and execute command via SMS, it will send response to server
via GPRS (Event code 80) and to server phone number via SMS.

10.3 Server Phone Number initiation

Server Phone Number can be initiated for the first time using SIM card that will be used as
Server Phone Number. From SIM card, that you want to register as Server Phone Number, send
SMS message containing “Server number activation code” to FoxLite device phone number
(activation code is located on the FoxLite pack). If the activation code was correct you will
receive the following massage: The server number <phone number that you have sent
password from> has been successfully registered. From now on you can use this phone
number to configure the device.
Note: It is possible that SMS center for the device SIM card has not been set, so device will not
be able to send response. However, if the password was correct you will be able to continue
configuring FoxLite using registered Server Phone Number.
If there is any need to change registered Server Phone Number you can use SN: command
described in chapter 10.4

11 Test Mоde
Test mode is designed to enable easy control of device accuracy, setup and connections to the
technician building-in and cehcking device operation. In FoxLiteConfigurator or ina
HyperTerminal window the following parameters and measurements will be shown
periodically:

• ID - vehicle identification number

• S - GSM signal level. This parameter can have value from 0 (the weakest signal) tо
31 (the strongest signal).
• SIM - SIM card status
• G - GSM status/Current GSM network ID
• GPS - fix number / number of satelites / estimated HDOP error
• B - the number of unsent messages in RAM memeory. This parameter can have the
value from 0 tо 80.
• L - amount of unsent messages in device logger memory in KB
• V - accumulator voltage in hundred mV (for example, No.129 stands for voltage of
12.9V)
• R - engine rotation speed in [RPM]
F - fuel level in the tank. This parameter can have value from 0 tо 2450.
• W - time in seconds until automatic GPS module reset. Reset occures in case that
GPS module doesn't send any data for more than 15sec. In normal conditions this
parameter should have value from 13 to 15 sec.
• P - time to power save or time to wakeup. Time format is (Xmm:ss).
X represent working status: a-active, s-sleep, t-tranzit from active to sleep or from
sleep to active.
• I - input pins state
• O - output pins state

Test sequence example:

ID–3 S-28 SIM-OK G-Y/H-net GPS-3/8/1.03 B-0 L-0 V-129 R-0 F-0 W-
14 P-a9:60 I-1x0xxx O-xx

11.1 Test mоde – vehicle identification (ID)

This parameter stands for the vehicle identification number. Since this parameter is very
important, the technician can check in this way if it is set up properly w/out entering device
menu.

11.2 Теst mode – signal level (S)

GSM signal level parameter can have value from 0 tо 31. Value 0 is obtained when the signal
is very weak, аnd value 31 when the signal is extremely strong. For successful sending of data
it is necessary that the signal has value above 6, however it is desirable that this value is about

42
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

20. On device building-in, it is recommendable to measure the signal level at the position
where the building-in is performed before the antenna is installed into the vehicle.Then, the
position of antenna should be chosen so that the signal is not weaker for more than 5 measuring
units after positioning of the antenna.
Signal level parameter can also have value 99, error level. Value 99 is obtained when the signal
level is so low that its level cannot be detected.

11.3 Test mode – SIM card status (SIM)

This parameter can have one of two values: ОK or ERR. If it has ЕRR value, possible reassons
are following:
• In device menu proper PIN code is not set up,
• GSM card doesn’t lay proper in SIM holder,

11.4 Test mode – GSM status (GPRS)

This parameter can have one of two values: Y or N. If it has N value, possible reassons are
following:
• GSM card has no activated caller identification service
• GSM card has no activated SMS service
• GSM card has no activated GPRS service
GSM network ID is five digit unique code for GSM provider. Example 22003 or 22001. If SIM
card is connected to home Network H-net mark will be instead.

11.5 Test mоde - GPS data validity (GPS)

There are 3 parameters that describe quality of GPS data:
• Fix number can have values 1, 2 or 3, where 1 is no fix, 2 is 2D fix and 3 is 3D fix.
• Number of satelites shows how many satelites are used for getting GPS position. This
number can have values from 0 to 12. Greater number of satelites indicates more
acurate GPS position.
• Estimated HDOP error can have values from 1 (minimal GPS error) to 50 (GPS signal
is not valid)

11.6 Test mоde – the number of unsent records in RAM memory (B)
In case when device for some reason is not able to send data to server, it will store them in its
RAM memory where up to 80 unsent records can be stored. When this memory is close to be
full, the messages are continued to be stored into Flash memory where more than 30.000 record
can be stored. In test mode the state of buffer in RAM мемory could be seen. If the buffer state
is not 0 and if the number of messages in it is increasing, it means that device, for some
reason,is not able to send messages to server. Possible reasons are the following:
• Device, for some reason, is not connected to GSM network,
• Device is connected to GSM network, but the signal level is too low,
• Server parameters are not set up properly,
• Server is not on or it does not have Internet access,
• There is no vehicle with ID on the server,
• Vehicle ID is not set up properly.

43
 FoxLite2.0 Instalation Manual

Note: amount of data in logger should be checked too (parameter L in test mode) because as
long amount of data in logger is larger than 0, new records will be stored in RAM (parameter B
will increase it's value).

11.7 Test mode - the number of unsent records in logger memory (L)
Besides RAM memory, device has permanent Flash memory for storing unsent records. This
memory is called logger memory and it’s capacity is more than 30.000 records. Parameter L
shows logger memory occupancy measured in KB.

11.8 Test Mode – Vehicle Accumulator Voltage (V)

This parameter stands for current vehicle accumulator voltage (power supply) value expressed
in hundreds of mV (for example parameter V-129 value means that current vehicle
accumulator voltage is 12.9V). As per this parameter it is possible to check if device is properly
connected to power supply and if the power supply voltage value is within specified range for
device operation.

11.9 Test Mode – Engine RPM (R)

This parameter stands for current value of the engine RPM. According to this parameter it
could be checked if RPM measurement functions properly and if the impulse number per
rotation is set properly. If RPM measured by FoxLite device is bigger than the one displayed
on the meter for RPM in the vehicle, then the parameter impulse number per rotation should be
proportionally increased and vice versa. This parameter value can be within range from 1 tо
100 (values 1.5 and 2.5 can also be setup).

11.10 Теst Mode – Fuel Tank Level (F)

Fuel level parameter stands for unbalanced voltage value on input pin of FoxLite device used
for fuel measurement. It value can be within range of 0 tо 2450. This parameter can be used
parameterizing of FoxLite device for fuel level measurements in the vehicle.

11.11 Test Mode - GPS Module WDT (W)

In case that GPS module stop sending data, it will be restarted in 20 seconds. Parameter W
represents remaining time to GPS module reset. In normal operation mode this parameter value
should be in range from 13 to 15.

11.12 Test Mode - Time to Power Save or Time to Wakeup (P)

This parameter is shown in format mm:ss. If character “а” is in front of time, device is active
i.e. this is time to power save. If character “s” is in front of time, device is in power save mode
i.e. this is time to wakeup.

12 Appendix

12.1 Working without ignition pin

FoxLite can work without ignition pin connected but user must be careful when connects
device without ignition pin. Only way to connect device without ignition pin is to connect
ignition to external power supply ACCU+. In that case:
• device will always be in active mode,
• device will continue generating records even if vehicle is not moving,
• power consumtion will be high because device newer goes to power save
• there will be no event contact off

12.2 Power device using ignition line

One can connect external power supply pin and ignition pin of FoxLite to ingnition line of the
vehicle, in order to reduce power consumtion in stady states. This way of connecting is not
recommended by RB GeneralEkonomik, because device is not designed to work in that
conditions. The side effects are:
• if vehicle is not driving offten backup battery will be constantly empty, and this will
couse real time clock failure, and device will need to restart after powering up to
synchronize time.
• after switching off ignition device will remain without power and generate Accu low
event
• after switching on, if battery is exhausted, device will perfor full start up which last for
30s more than regular wake up.
• after switching on, if battery is exhausted, every GPS start up will be cold start up.

12.3 Setting up panic button

To set panic button first select GP digital inpust pin to use. If you select GP1, GP2, GP4 with
negative triger then connect one pin of panic taster to GND. If you select GP3 or GP5 with
positive triger connect one pin of panic taster to ACCU+. The other pin of panic taster connect
to selected GP pin. GPIO X Configuration must be set to 1, and GP Input_X pin Event
Code must be set to 1070

12.4 Setting up engine block

To prevent engine from starting you must place relay on starter wire. To activate relay you
could use either output_low or output_high pin. Relay must have protective diode between pins
86 and 85. Next illustration is for output_low pin.
• FoxLite pin3 (output Low) connect to relay pin 86 and pin 85 to ACCU+ or Ignition
line (it is better to use Ignition line in order to prevent vehicle battery consumption
when vehicle is not in use).
• Cut starter wire and one end connect to relay pin 87a and other end to relay pin 30.
• Configure GPIO 2 configuration to 0, select output low.

12.7 Frequently asked questions

Q:Which SMS command do I send to block/deblock engine?
A:If you connect and configure device considering chapter 12.4 , then send So0:1 to block and
So0:0 to deblock engine.

Q:Why my device resets?

A:After first start device will reset to sychronize time in real time clock. After changing certain
parameters device restarts. Device restarts in emergency situations like 30mins without GSM
signal etc.

Q:Can you set up device in roaming to send one record on every 10min and the rest of the
records to save in log file?
A:No. This is irrational. Device can only send all data periodicali. If you made connection to
send one record it would be better to send all data because cost will be almoust the same
because every connection in roaming is usualy 10K or higher.

Q:If I set roaming disable does device receive SMS commands in roaming?
A:If SIM card has roming enabled it will receive SMS command.

Q:I need a password for FoxLiteConfigurator?
