6. Geofence
The Geofence feature creates a virtual circular boundary of which the radius can be set
by SMS command. This feature allows the user to observe if the Tracker will remain
within a set boundary (area) or if it will leave this area. Useful, for example, for
monitoring herds movement on farms, or for monitoring pets.
When the Geofence is switched ON it will take the tracker’s position at that moment to
draw a virtual circle with a specified radius. In default this radius is 100 meters.
NOTE: If the tracker is in an area of no GPS coverage (e.g. underground garage), it will
use the last valid GPS coordinates saved by the unit if Geofence is activated.
The command to switch the Geofence On is:
Password-GEO
-ON
example: 1234-GEO-ON
or
Password-GEO
-OFF
example: 1234-GEO-OFF
to switch the Geofence Off.
To set a different boundary, for example, with radius of 400 meters:
Password-I-Geo
04
DEFAULT SETTING:
When no Geofence radius is set the tracker will use the default setting of 100 meter.
Any other range can be set via the following command:
[PASSWORD]-[I]-[GeoXX]
example 1234-I-Geo07
Where
XX
is a 2-digit figure and represents the radius of the circle in multiples of 100
meters. Example Geo07 = 700 meters, or Geo10 = 1000 meters.
STOPPING GEOFENCE:
To turn off the Geofence mode, the following command (SMS message) has to be sent
to the Tracker:
[PASSWORD]-[Geo]-[off]
example 1234-Geo-off
Note: For the most accurate Geofence use, turn off the Power save feature.
To check the Geofence setting, a
SMS message has to be sent to the
tracker as follows
:
Password-R-GEO
The tracker will send SMS with the
requested information.
Example:
“GEOFENCE is set to 400m”
