Introduction

The Picotrack is a small sized tracking device which is well suited for tracking valuable goods and

shipments. The Picotrack is suited for a wide range of asset tracking applications including the

following (this list is not exhaustive!):

Tracking of valuable goods and shipments (Product prototypes, cash transport, high value

products)

Tracking product packaging (e.g. pallets & crates…)

Mobile industrial equipment

Because of the multitude of possible application we cannot list them all. Therefore we will only

refer to installation scenarios as they occur in asset tracking applications.

Picotrack: For all applications where smallest dimensions are essential and a longer battery

lifetime is required.

Picotrack IP69K: The Picotrack is provided inside an IP69K grade casing, which is can also be

supplied with a magnet (as optional accessory) for quick installation on metallic surfaces. It is

suited for all applications where long battery lifetime is needed and the device is subjected to

harsh environmental conditions.

Operation Setup

The operation set-up of the Picotrack device can be realised in a few quick steps.

Please take proper measures for ESD protection (e.g. electrical connection of the

body to ground) to make sure you do not destroy internal electronics! Repair of

ESD damages caused by user’s negligence will not be covered by Telic’s warranty.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows

between two objects at different electrical potentials normally caused by static

electricity.

Opening the device

Open Picotrack housing by screwing off the housing (as shown in the following Figure). The SIM

card holder is under the battery and allows to slide-in and to fix a standard Mini-SIM card. Be

careful when moving the battery not to pinch the battery cable.

Figure 1: How to open the device

Inserting the SIM Card

A working SIM card from a suitable network provider must be correctly inserted in order to the

device operates correctly.

The messages of the Picotrack are transmitted via the mobile GSM network.

Therefor you need a standard 3 Volts or 1.8 Volts SIM card. Please give preference

to post-paid SIM cards!

Please put the device in front of you on your desk so that you can slide-in the SIM card (as shown

in the following Figure); the gold contacts of the SIM card must be facing down. The SIM card

must be pushed in the direction of the arrow, until it snaps into place.

Figure 2: How to insert the SIM Card

The opposite cover of the housing, in which the GPS receiver is embedded, should

not be opened, to avoid a contamination of the receiver which may lead to a

reduction of receiving quality (should you be forced to clean the pad sometime,

please do so using pure alcohol).

Before the Picotrack logs into the mobile GSM network, it checks whether the used SIM card is

PIN free. If it is PIN free, it will start normal operation.

If the SIM card is not PIN free, it has to be assured, that the PIN is set to “0000” before it has been

inserted. The PIN can be changed e.g. with a normal mobile phone to “0000”.

To speed up the log-in into the mobile network, the SIM card should not contain any phone book

entries.

Closing the housing

Make sure that the battery is not damaged or squeezed by the holder of the

housing while closing the device, and that the battery cable is not pinched or

kinked.

Avoid any stress on the micro USB connector when it is plugged in the Picotrack. In

the worst case, the connector of the Picotrack board could be damaged. Telic’s

warranty does not cover the repair of this type of damage.

Close the device again and take care that the housing covers fit together tightly and properly.

Switching the device ON and OFF

To switch the device ON: push the red button until the green LED of the left GSM-indicator

lights up.

Seite 10

To switch the device OFF: push the red button twice in quick succession. Note that the green

LED of the left GSM indicator will continue to light-up for a while, even though the switch-off

process is on its way.

Figure 3: How to switch on and off the device

Pushing the red button will always be confirmed by the red LED in the centre

indicator, which means it will be illuminated as long as the button is being pushed.
