LEDs

SYS

RED LED is not a power indicator; it is a system fault or system abnormal status indicator. Under

normal operation this LED is OFF, it will also flash once when the unit has successfully restarted

and initialized the Syrus application. To verify if the unit is ON, check the state of the GPS and NET

LEDs, which will always show some kind of activity.

-2 seconds ON –1 second OFF –(SYS Error) –general system error, lack of SIM or other

hardware related issue.

-Flashes twice rapidly (Airplane Mode) –indicates RF Module is Off, and no communication

via Syrus commands is available.

-Short 0.5 sec flash every 5 seconds (Power Saving Mode) –indicates the unit is sleeping or in

Power Saving Mode.

-On/Off repeatedly every 0.5 seconds (Jamming Detected) –communication jamming was

detected (this could be from an external jammer)

GPS

When both the Red and Yellow LEDs flash in unison, it indicates a GPS Error.

External GPS Antenna in short circuit or internal hardware fault.

YELLOW LED is a GPS Signal indicator.

3 states that indicate GPS Signal Quality (We refer to the adquisicion of GPS Coordinates, latitude and

longitude, as the GPS Fix –fixing its position).

-No GPS Fix –the LED does not flash at all and is always off.

-Low GPS Quality –Show flash every 1 second –indicates low GPS quality

-High GPS Quality –Shows 2 rapid flashes every 1 second

NET

Network Error: indicates a GSM Registration Error. Possible causes:

-No SIM Card inserted, PIN error, or network rejects the SIM card registration

4 States:

On 0.5 seconds / Off 0.5 seconds –Not registered to either GSM or GPRS

On 0.5 seconds / Off 3 seconds –Registered to GSM network, but not GPRS network

Rapid flash twice –attached to the GPRS Network

Solid On –Voice call in progress

Care and Caution

Operating Temperature

Due to the limitations on the operation of the Lithium polymer battery, the temperature while charging the battery

must be 0ºC to 45ºC, and the regular operating temperature must be -20ºC to 70ºC. For more information about the

Lithium polymer batteries, visit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_polymer_battery orhttp://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm

How to remove SIM Card

Always send an >SRT< command before removing the SIM card, due to the risk of possible damage to the SIM

card. Follow these steps in order to prevent these issues:

- Send a Reset (>SRT< command) via Serial port.

- Remove SIM card after sending the >SRT< command. That means you have around 10 seconds to

remove the SIM card.

How to remove the internal battery

Always send a >SRT< command before removing the battery if the external power supply is not connected, due to

the risk of possible data loss or data corruption in the device memory. Follow these steps in order to prevent these

issues: - Send a Reset (>SRT< command) via Serial port.

- Remove the battery after sending the >SRT< command. That means you have around 10 seconds to

remove the battery.

If the external power supply is connected, the battery can be replaced without sending the >SRT< command.

Set up the correct PIN for the SIM card.

The SIM card may be blocked if the PIN parameter is configured using the >SRFI< command with a wrong SIM

card PIN.

Do Not Leave These Wires Unprotected

All the wire end tips must be kept insulated when not in use to prevent damage and undesired behavior on the unit.

This is especially important for the following wires:

oPin 7 - Green

oPin 8 - Orange

oPin 14 - White/Red

For more details of each wire, please consult the Inputs/Outputs section.

rev1 –Dec 2013 www.digitalcomtech.com 10

Installation

The SyrusTM can be installed in any location of any type of vehicle as long as some

environmental conditions are met:

oNo exposure to water.

oNo direct exposure to sun light.

oAway from excessive heat sources like the motor or the exhaust's path.

oAway from excessive cold sources like a truck's refrigerator or AC system.

oNot attached to a highly vibrating structure.

oThe Syrus has an internal GSM antenna that will assure GPRS communication

under normal vehicular conditions. The unit must not be installed inside a metal

structure that could act as a Faraday cage, which could lower the signal strength.

oThe Syrus has an internal GPS antenna, and a connector for an optional external

GPS antenna. When using the internal antenna, the units must be located so that

it has minimal metal obstructions to the sky view and with the upper part facing

up. It is recommended to use the external GPS antenna in most cases.

The unit's location/position can be such that it remains hidden. The LEDs indicators do

not have to be visible but it is recommended some access to them for

failure/diagnostics situations. The same recommendation holds for physical access to

the unit's serial port.

Power Supply

The unit's power cables should be directly connected to the vehicle's battery (12V or

24V). The unit supports an operating voltage range from 8V to 32V.

When the unit is not being used in a vehicle (e.g. lab testing) it must be powered by a

12V DC adapter that supplies a minimum current of 800mA.

Warning: The internal lithium polymer battery has an integrated automatic cut off

circuit to protect against over-charge, over-current and over-discharge. After long

disconnection periods, the battery may activate its over discharge protection circuit.

The unit is shipped with an unplugged battery connector to help prevent this state.

Plug this connector in before connecting the main power and wait for activity

indication on the green LED. It is not recommended to unplug the battery, except for

seldom-long storage periods. Refer to Care & Caution Section to see how to remove

the Battery or the SIM card.

Even though it is possible for the unit to work with no internal battery, it is

recommended to always use the battery; this is to prevent any data loss or memory

corruption that can be caused due to momentary external power loss.
