1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Fleetminder!
Fleetminder is an exciting Australian designed product that enables you
to personally take control of the security and tracking of your assets.
The Fleetminder system works independently but has Inputs and
Outputs, which means it can be connected to any existing alarm
system for alarm notication or additional triggers. The Inputs and
Outputs can be congured to control a range of different features.
The Fleetminder has a variety of different ways of reporting an
event, or reporting to a command. The Fleetminder is tted with a
GSM/GPRS module that allows for GPRS and SMS reporting.
When using GPRS the Fleetminder will log data on our tracking
website for easy reviewing by eet managers or owners. Fleetminder
reporting can be set to many different intervals for tracking
accuracy. For SMS reporting, the Fleetminder can either report the
co-ordinates to the tracking website, or can report a link for a map
that can be viewed on any GPRS mobile phone.
Unlike other tracking products on the market, Fleetminder use by
SMS does not require a subscription to a base monitoring service
for basic functions. However, in most cases we recommend that
eet managers subscribe to our web service. The vehicle history is
available in a range of formats online and retrievable at any time via
our optional subscription service.
NOTE: For the full features of the online tracking feature, please
refer to the Online tracking manual.

3.0 PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections to the vehicle and
antenna connections to the correct sockets BEFORE connecting the
main plug to Fleetminder. (Refer Installation manual)
It is strongly recommended that the units SIM card is rst registered,
contains credit and is tested before installation is commenced.
Testing will require a valid sim service. For GPRS online tracking, the
sim card must be GPRS enabled. When installing the GPS antenna
make sure that the coaxial cable does not get bent or crimped. Always
keep Fleetminder’s phone number condential and account paid up
for pre paid services. Remember your Fleetminders PIN & phone
number, no one else should know them. For Online tracking, please
ensure that the SIM card is GPRS enabled (for more information on
this please contact your sim card service provider).
Outputs are NOT recommended for use to directly or indirectly
immobilize an operating vehicle. Immobilizing a vehicle in motion
is extremely dangerous. The general purpose outputs can be used to
disable the vehicle’s starter motor only.
This device is not to be used for unauthorized monitoring or tracking.
Do not operate this device where mobile phones or radio transmitters
are not permitted. Do not operate on aircrafts. Do not operate near
sensitive electronics such as engine, brake, or air-bag systems.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY:
Designed to work from 12 volt or 24 volt DC only.
Use 5 amp inline fuse.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE:
The Fleetminder uses the GSM network and it is not advisable to request
tracking during refueling, at blast sites or at chemical sites etc.

MEDICAL EQUIPMENT:
Some medical devices such as pacemakers may be inhibited by GSM
signals. Check with a doctor or medical equipment manufacturers for
more advice on this issue.
AIRCRAFT SAFETY:
When transporting this equipment by air, ensure the unit is totally
disabled, by removing the SIM card from the SIM card slot. And
ensuring the Red power LED is switched off. (If the Red LED is ashing,
press and hold reset button for 4 seconds, until all lights switch off.)
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
OUTPUTS:
The outputs are rated at 300mA max.
As default the outputs are set to trigger a low. (ground)
Due to outputs being limited to current, we recommend using
outputs to control relays.
The outputs can be congured for a latch (permanent switch) circuit,
a pulse (800mS pulse) circuit (normally used for central locking
circuits) or cycle circuit (normally used for ashing indicators)
NOTE: Cycle will only last for 30 seconds.
The outputs are most commonly used for unlocking doors, sounding
horn and disabling starter motor, but can be used for almost anything.
INPUTS:
The inputs can be connected to almost any electronic circuit, however
please note that there are 2 positive triggers (+12V or +24V) inputs, and
1 negative trigger (GND) input. Refer to the Installation manual for more
information.

4.0 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
ENVIRONMENT
Do not install Fleetminder in direct sunlight or directly under any
areas exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Fleetminder
incorporates sensitive electronics and is to be installed in the
vehicles cabin only. Keep the unit installed in a secure location that
is to be free of dust and moisture.
For a stealth install it is recommended that the Fleetminder is kept
away from any radio antennas or speakers, as it may indicate that
there is a GSM network connection present to the vehicle operator.
POWER
Fleetminder operates on a 12 volt or 24 volt supply only.
If Fleetminder has a voltage higher than the operating voltage
applied then the device will fail to operate and could cause internal
damage to the unit. If the power supplied is below the minimum to
operate, the unit will send a warning if programmed to do so and
may switch to backup battery power. See Fleetminder specications.
The built in backup power supply allows Fleetminder to continue to
operate and alert you if your vehicles battery power is severed.
The backup battery is oat charged by your vehicles electrical system.

GPS ANTENNA LOCATION
Fleetminder is able to determine the exact location of your
vehicle by the use of the incorporated GPS receiver. For the GPS to
work most effectively, the external GPS antenna must be located in
a position with as much view of the sky as possible.
The GPS Antenna will generally operate through non metallic
objects. Some suggestions include high up under the dash and
below the rear parcel shelf. The black face of the antenna is the side
which must face skyward. Ensure before completing the installation
that the antenna is secured rmly in place.
Before picking a location in your vehicle for the GPS antenna, it is
best to rst connect the GPS antenna to the Fleetminder and apply
power. Shortly after powering on Fleetminder you will observe
the green satellite LED on the unit turn on, this means the unit is
receiving GPS data. If this does not happen, place the antenna on the
roof of your vehicle, making sure that your vehicle is outdoors. Wait
until the LED comes on and stays on. This now indicates Fleetminder
has a x on your vehicles location. Please be patient as with a cold
start (rst power up) this process of satellite acquisition can take up
to 5 minutes (in worst case).
In some cases where the control of the Fleetminder is set to SMS as
a default, and the unit has started up successfully (RED and GREEN
lights on, with the YELLOW LED ashing or still) you are able to nd
out the GPS status by simply sending a “SYS” sms command from the
Primary declared phone number (see command list to see how to set
this, and for further instructions on the SYS command). In the reply
message you will see the status of the GPS.

MINIMAL INSTALLATION
If you would like to use Fleetminder for GPS SMS tracking only then all
you need to do is simply connect Fleetminder to a constant 12volt or
24 volt source and place the GPS/GPRS antenna in a suitable location.
The Fleetminder system should be installed at least 60cm (2 feet)
away from your vehicles wiring and electrical systems to prevent
interference. The GSM signal strength can be identied by using
the “SYS” sms command sent from your primary controlling phone
number (refer to the command list).
