Introducing the IMT 106

The IMT 106 is a tracking device which has been designed to be simple to use and

set up. At It’s Mine Technology we have carried out extensive testing of the

functionality of the device. This guide documents its main capabilities as well as

giving some of the ndings from our own testing.

We believe that the most e ective way to use the tracker is in SMS mode. This means that

you will receive SMS messages giving location information in a format that includes a link

to Google Earth. The tracker is best used in conjunction with a smartphone where clicking

the link will take you directly to Google Earth on your smartphone’s default browser.

Using GPRS is not covered in this guide as we believe

it drains the battery too quickly and can be hard

to set up. If you need a web-based continuous

monitoring capability please contact us by email

Make sure you have everything

Inside the box you should find the following:

An IMT 106 Tracker

Two lithium batteries in a waterproof pouch

A European standard battery charger

A UK plug adapter

A USB cable

A magnetic rear cover

We opted for the use of a combination of the European standard battery charger and a UK

plug adapter because it seemed to offer the greatest flexibility to our customers.

Get ready

Charging the Tracker

You will nd the two batteries in the waterproof pouch .

We have found tht a battery will last for around five days

on standby. As you have two batteries you can

always keep one on charge while the other is in use.

Battery life is impacted by the number of times that the

tracker has to fix position and send a response.

For example, if you ask the tracker to report its position

every half an hour it will last for around 72 hours before needing to be replaced.

When we tested the SOS function it reported every three minutes for 8 hours.

You can read more about this later.

Plug the UK plug adapter into the European standard

charger. Then place one of the batteries in the cradle. The

LED will turn red indicating that it is charging and then

green when it is finished.

The European standard lead comes with two connectors.

One for the charger and another fitted with a mini USB

which can be used to charge the tracker via the mini USB

port on the side of the unit.

When you are setting up the tracker for the first

time you should put the SIM card in place first, which

we will tell you how to do later.

To replace the battery, slide it into the back of the

tracker, making sure that the + and - symbols are

facing upwards.

We recommend that batteries are charged for a minimum of eight hours prior to first

use in order to get maximum battery life.

Fitting the SIM card.

When you open up the back of the tracker you will see two slots. One is for an SD memory

card which can be used to store location information if you are using GPRS and you lose a

connection.

As we have already said we do not propose to detail the GPRS functionality here.

Slide your SIM card into the SIM card slot as shown above. It is important to make sure

that the card is tted properly as most problems are caused by the SIM not making a

good connection with the tracker.

Get Set

Initialise

It is now time to initialise your tracker . Put the back on - either the ordinary plastic one

or the one with the magnets, then tak e it outside. It will pick up a signal faster in

the open air. Press the on button for three seconds. It should take less than a minute

for the tracker to acquire both the mobile and GPS signal. Once it does a green LED

will ash twice every four seconds. Please note that the Off button puts the tracker into

sleep mode rather than turning it o completely. Simply being able to turn the

tracker off by pressing a button is not something that we want a potential thief to be

able to do. The USB port can also be used to charge the battery that is inside your tracker.

Activate

To activate your tracker, wait until the green LED is flashing every four seconds then send an SMS

to the Tracker to start it working. If you a re using the GiffGaff SIM supplied with this unit you will

know the mobile ‘phone number of the SIM card when you register your card at www.giffga

ff.com.

The format of your first text message should be: “begin” followed by the default password. The

default password is 1 2 3 4 5 6. You can change this to your own 6 digit password later.

Your activation SMS should be the following “begin+123456”, without the quotation marks and

leaving out the plus sign. Your tracker will send an SMS back to you saying “begin ok”.

In all cases the plus sign should not be used in text messages to your tracker.

To change the password send an SMS like this “password+oldpassword

newpassword”. Remember to leave a space between password+oldpassword and

newpassword.

A password should never be more than six digits.

Authorize

A total of five mobile telephone numbers can be registered

with the device to receive tracking information. We would

suggest that you always keep one free so, in the event of your

tracked item being lost or stolen you can authorise a number

for police use.

It is important to have at least one authorised number

otherwise the tracker will not allow you to set up other

functions such as Geo Fence.

To set up an authorized number send an SMS to the tracker in the following format:

“admin+password+space+mobilenumber ”.

Real Time Response

This kind of enquiry is often referred to technically as ‘polling’. To get the precise

location of the tracker at any time you can call it from a mobile phone. If there is

no authorized number it will simply send the coordinates to the mobile number that

made the call. If there is no authorized number then the tracker will respond with an

SMS to the number that called it. If you have registered admin numbers the tracker will

only respond to a call from one of these numbers.

When you call the tracker it will hang up or divert to voicemail after between three and

five rings and then report its position by text message. By default the tracker will send the

latitude, longitude, current speed, time and the unique identification code of the tracker

to your mobile ‘phone.

There will also be a clickable link to Google maps.

R E M E M B E R !

If you are travelling to

another country

remember to add 00 and

your country code. For

example if you are in the

UK you would send

admin+password+space+

0044mobilenumber

Auto Tracking

In auto track mode the tracker will send location information at predetermined

intervals. You can set this up by sending an SMS using the following method:

‘Fix’ followed by

s: second

m: minute

h: hour

n: number of reports

The values must be given as three digits up to a maximum of 255. The format of the

SMS should be time + value + number of reporting times + password.

Example: You want the tracker to report its location every 10 minutes ten times.

“ x010m010n123456”

Example: You want the tracker to report its position every hour for twenty four hours.

“ x001h024n123456”

Example: You want the tracker to report its location every hour until it is told to stop.

In this case you use the * character to tell the tracker that there is no limit on the

number of reports.

“ x001h***n123456”

To stop auto tracking send the following :

“no x123456”

Geo Fence

You can set the tracker to report if it is moved out of an area by setting a Geo Fence.

To do this you send an SMS giving the latitude and longitude of a square. You first set

the upper left hand limit of the square by giving its longitude and latitude then the

same for the bottom right hand corner. Dont make the square too small, it should be

a minimum of 100 metres square. You can find the longitude and latitude by using

one of the many online mapping systems.

The format is stockade+password+space+latitude,longitude,latitude,longitude

Example:

“stockade123456 27.145698,10.346251,27.134961,10.297612”

To deactivate the Geo Fence send “nostockade+password”

Example “nostockade123456”

Movement Alert

The tracker can be set up to send an alert if it is moved more than 500 metres from a

set location. The tracker has to be in the same location for up to ten minutes for its

position to be fixed before the movement alert activation message is sent. Once the

movement alert has been set the tracker will send out SMS messages every three

minutes until deactivated.

To activate send “move+password”

Example “move123456”

The tracker will reply with an SMS saying “move ok”

To deactivate send “nomove+password”

Example “nomove123456”

Shake Sensor

The tracker can send an alert if it is shaken. You can set the level of shaking that the

tracker will react to from 1 to 10. 1 is the lowest (alarms easily) to with 10 as the

highest. This is useful as an anti-tamper function. For example you could experiment

with the level at which the tracker responds to being pulled off a metallic object it has

been magnetically fixed to, or when the back is opened.

The format is “password+shock+space+sensitivity ”

Example “123456shock 5”

To deactivate send “password+noshock”

Example “123456noshock”

SOS

The SOS button is used to send an automated message to authorised users if the

person with the tracker needs help. If held down for three seconds the tracker will

begin sending a “help me” message to all authorised numbers along with its location

until it receives an acknowledgement from one of the authorised numbers. The

format is “help me!” sent from the authorised phone. The tracker will send a message

every three minutes to all authorised numbers. When we tested this the battery

lasted for eight hours. We could also use Google Maps/Google Earth to see the actual

building where the person carrying the tracker was.

Low Battery Warning

The tracker will send a low voltage warning to all authorised numbers every thirty

minutes when the voltage drops to 3.7 volts.

Magnetic Cover

Replace the ordinary plastic cover with the one fitted with magnets when you want to

attach the tracker to anything magnetic. Using the magnetic cover will not affect the

working of the tracker.
