1.3 General controls
The Satmaps web application is divided into 3 main sections, which can be switched
using the top tabs Monitoring (chapter 1.4.), Journey Register (chapter 1.5.),
Configuration (chapter 1.6.).
For clarity, the status of the monitored
vehicles in the system are distinguished by
different colors.
You can find legend to these and others
information elements in the right top corner
under a button Legend in the Monitoring
tab.
1.4 Monitoring
The Monitoring tab allows you to monitor all vehicles in real-time. Each state of a vehicle
has its own color identification, which provides an immediate overview of the activity of the
monitored vehicles (chapter 1.3).
Using the Vehicles button select a vehicle, which will be
automatically targeted on the map. Use the mouse wheel to
zoom in and out of the map and drag the mouse to move the
map in desired direction.
Clicking on button Center, in
the Vehicles tab, will fixate the

map. Clicking on the button
All to map will show all the
vehicles of the selection on the
map.
For each vehicle there is a Vehicle card showing most up-to-date information. The card is
showed when you hover your mouse over the vehicle's icon on the map.
By right-clicking to a vehicle (on the vehicle's icon or in the
Vehicle tab) you can go into a journey register and see history of
the vehicle's journeys (chapter 1.5.).

1.5.1 Information inputs
Information inputs monitor status or operation of a connected device in the vehicle (e.g.
alarm activation, switching a refrigeration device, using a beacon or warning lights, activation
of SOS button, operation of a plow, opening a tank lid, opening a cargo space, etc.).
Note:
It is possible to customize reaction to inputs activation (chapter 1.6/E). Upon activation of
Input 3 or Input 4 the notification SMS may be sent to predefined telephone numbers. Upon
activation of Input 3 there is also always marked part of the journey for which this input has
been active.
1.5.2 Mileages
Distances measured by GPS locators may show small deviations from the vehicle's
tachometer. You can refine the measured distances in the Mileages tab, where you can
enter the KM according to the vehicle's tachometer.
Note:
We advise to always adjust the mileages after refueling. The date and time of the entered
mileage mustn’t be set for the duration of the journey. The date and time when the vehicle
has no journey recorded can be retrieved from Journey register.
1.5.3 Expenses tracking
This section is used to enter and evaluate the costs of fuel for a vehicle. The costs are
entered either manually, using the New fuel receipt button, or by retrieving the file obtained
from the fueling provider (CCS, Benzina).

description (e.g. type of fuel, name of filling station, etc.).
To use fuel cards records it is necessary to add a new card to a particular vehicle using
Payment cards management button. To enter the records, import data files from CCS
(*.txe) or Benzina (*x??n).

2. Accessing the system from mobile devices
The mobile version is a simplified version of the system and serves mostly to instantly locate
vehicles. For a full-featured application use the PC version.
2.1 Logging into the system
To sign in enter http://m.satmaps.net into your mobile device's
browser. Then enter login credentials.
Note:
In case you have not received or deleted login credentials, contact
Satmaps system support.
2.2 General controls
For clarity, the status of the monitored vehicles in the system are
distinguished by different colors (chapter 1.3.).
The mobile version of the application is designed to use as little data as possible. Therefore,
the data are retrieved only once and does not update themselves. In case you need to
update the data, press the button in the upper right corner of the screen.
2.3 Monitoring
To get the current position of a vehicle click on the vehicle in the vehicles list and then click
on the map button.
III. Control of private/business journey switch
The function of distinguishing business/private journeys is
controlled by a switch located in the interior of the vehicle.
Position I (on) activates the business mode. The 0 (off)
deactivates the business mode (private mode is therefore
activated).
This switch has a direct impact on the journey register where
driven kilometers are shown in private/business mode.
I – Business journey mode
O – Private journey mode

IV. Remote control of unit’s functions
User functions of the vehicle unit are controlled by commands, which are sent in a
form of SMS from any mobile phone to the telephone number of the vehicle unit.
The command is always sent together with the PIN code, that uniquely identifies the
authorized persons. PIN code is a four digit number and can be changed for safety
reasons at any time.
The PIN code is set by manufacturer to value 4321 (symbols **** are used instead of
PIN code in the text below). The commands are not case sensitive.
1. PIN code change
Command format: **** PIN xxxx yyyy
xxxx – new PIN code
yyyy – confirmation of new PIN code
Default setting: 4321
For security reasons we recommend to change the
PIN code as soon as possible.
Note:
If you forgot the PIN code, the factory reset of the vehicle
unit can be done only by the manufacturer.
2. Remote control of switching relay
Current state of relay is shown at the Vehicle card
(chapter 1.4.).
2.1 Relay switching for unlimited time
Command format: **** SWITCH n
n = 0 – calm state of the relay
n = 1 – switched contacts of the relay
The relay in the vehicle unit can be switched using
command SWITCH with parameter n, so that particular
devices in the vehicle can be remotely switched ON or OFF
for unlimited time.
2.2 Relay switching for preset time
Command format: **** SWITCH xy
x – time for which the relay stays switched (from 1 to 240)
y – time unit of the number entered by parameter x
y = s – seconds
y = m – minutes
The relay in the vehicle unit can be switched using
command SWITCH with parameter xy, so that connected
devices in the vehicle can be remotely switched ON or OFF
for limited time.
Example: PIN code change from
4321 to 2828
4321 PIN 2828 2828
Example: Relay is switched
4321 SWITCH 1
Example: Command for switching relay
for 5 minutes. After this time elapses,
the relay automatically returns back to
unswitched mode
4321 SWITCH 5m

3. STOP function
Command format: **** STOP n
n = 1 – activates function STOP
n = 0 – deactivates function STOP
This function is specially designed to safely stop vehicle's
engine. The output is activated only in case the vehicle
stops / lowers its speed to 0 km/h (e.g. on cross road).
Current state of the STOP function can be viewed on the
Vehicle card (chapter 1.4.).
4. Setting of car battery level monitoring
Command format: **** MCBAT xx,x
xx,x = monitored battery voltage in volts, allowing one decimal
number (e.g. 11,7).
Default setting: 11,8
Range: 10 – 25,5
X = 0 – deactivates the function
It is necessary to also set and activate this function in the
online monitoring system (chapter 1.6/E).
After activating this function, the system informs the
user via SMS in case of battery disconnection or its
voltage drop below the monitored level.
5. Setting of over speed monitoring
Command format: **** MSPEED x
x = monitored speed value in km/h
Default setting: 0
Range: 0 – 255
x = 0 – deactivates the function
It is necessary to also set and activate this function in the
online monitoring system (chapter 1.6/E).
After activating this function, the system informs the user
via SMS in case of over speeding.
In case of multiple or long-term over speeding (e.g. fast
drive at motorway), the system sends SMS alerts once
every 10 minutes.
Example: Activation of STOP function
4321 STOP 1
Example: Setting of the minimum
monitored car battery level to 11,7V
4321 MCBAT 11,7
Example: Setting the monitored
over speeding to 120 km/h
4321 MSPEED 120

6. STAND BY - power management
Command format: **** OFF
In STAND BY mode the vehicle unit is switched OFF and
its power consumption is 0 mA. STAND BY mode is
recommended to be used for long time car parking (e.g. in
winter time).
In STAND BY mode the vehicle unit does not respond to
SMS commands. The vehicle unit can be “woken up” from
this mode by either switching the ignition ON or by signal
on external inputs INPUT3 or INPUT 4 of the vehicle unit.

regardless the state of ignition for 180 minutes from
sending the command. By this command it is possible to
monitor also standing or towed vehicle.
Note:
We recommend to connect the backup battery to the unit so that
this function can be used also in case the vehicle is stolen and
when the main vehicle battery is disconnected.
Example: Command for setting in
