1 Introduction

1.1 General information

The GTTS-3000 is an Iridium Short Burst Date Communication System that was especially designed for the maritime environment.

It enables users to have a communication line and/or track and trace vessels, barges or other assets or equipment. It uses the cost effective Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) for communication.

The Iridium network is the only network commercially available that offers true global coverage.

The GTTS-3000 was developed in such a way that it can fulfil most of the customer needs without modifications, add-ons or special software versions.

It’s ruggedized all weather proof housing and stainless steel mounting hardware was especially designed to survive under the most extreme conditions.

It finds applications in maritime vertical markets like Electronic Charts Support, M2M applications,

Shore Support etc.

An installed GTTS-3000, running the generic AWS protocol that uses the messagepack format (see www.msgpack.org), will retrieve the GPS data at preset time intervals. The position is then send through the Iridium satellite constellation to the Iridium Gateway. In the Gateway the data is processed and send to a pre-configured IP-address and/or E-mail address.

Depending on the enduser’s application, it is often desired to use geographical maps to display the position along with other information. An example of a GTTS-3000 series on a GEO map can be found in figure 2 below.

Figure 2. GTTS-3000 series on AWS Global Alerting Platform

All the dealers of the GTTS-3000 series Iridium Short Burst Date Communication System have their own GEO services, or can provide it.

2 Installation

2.1 Unpacking

The GTTS-3000 is packed in a carton box. Unpacking of the GTTS-3000, especially if it is provided with magnets, should be done on location prior to installation.

GTTSystems uses the unique IMEI number of the embedded Iridium SBD modem for unit identification and registration.

Each box contains at least a GTTS-3000 provided with a factory connected installation cable and a brief installation guide. This complete

Installation and User’s manual can also be found on http://www.gtts.eu/products.php

in pdf format.

2.2 Activation in the Iridium Network

Prior to mechanical and electrical installation the GTTS unit shall be activated in the Iridium

Satellite Network.

Authorized dealers only send an email to [email protected]

with a list of IMEI numbers of the units that needs to be activated. Only activation requests from authorized dealers can be processed.

The IMEI numbers can be found on 2 different barcode labels on the bottom of the unit and also on a barcode label on the carton packing. IMEI nr. always starts with 3002

34……….

Activation is normally realized the same day during GTTSystems B.V. business hours.

Your subscription starts from this day.

2.3 Installation general READ THIS FIRST

The GTTS-3000 is easy to install. It offers three different types of installation.

Tube/railing mounting.

Magnet Mounting on deck or rooftop.

Screw mounting on deck or rooftop.

It shall be installed always in a horizontal position with no obstructions to the sky above.

The GTTS-3000 will send a first GPS position automatically to confirm the unit is switched on and working properly. Please note that it can take several minutes before a message from the unit is received (depending on satellites in sight). GPS takes typically 40..50 seconds for a cold start fix.

Latency in the Iridium Network is very low. Typical values measured 12 .. 15 seconds

The Basic Indoor Connection Box (GTTS-3000 BIC Box) comes along as standard with each GTTS-

3000 system. It is low priced and makes the electrical installation easier and safer.

Besides the ease of installation, it has two LED indicators for power status and system status. The BIC

Box is also provided with a serial RS485 port that can be used for software upgrades and also functions as a debug or monitor port. With an off-the-shelf RS485<>USB converter it is very easy to connect the GTTS-3000 through the BIC Box to a computer.

2.3.1 Installation with magnet mounting

Holding the GTTS-3000 with both hands, hold it over the area where it shall be placed. Tilt the GTTS-

3000 appr. 45 degrees as shown in figure 3 below. Then lower it onto the steel surface and turn the

GTTS-3000 until the magnets make contact with the steel surface. Try to do this as controlled as possible to avoid a ‘slam’ and keep your fingers free from the GTTS-3000 surface contact area.

Slamming the unit onto the steel surface could cause damage due to extreme G-forces that might occur.

Reverse this procedure to remove an unit.

Never try to slide a unit

. This will damage the magnetic’s corrosion protective coating and the steel

(paint) surface it is mounted on.

It is advised to coat the magnets with ship

’s paint or other corrosion protective coating, if available on board, prior to installation.

Figure 3. Placement on top level deck.

The connection cable shall be routed and fixed properly to avoid dangerous situations that might occur due to loose cables.

Decent installation is a must for all of the mounting options.

2.3.2 Installation on railing or tube

The mounting hardware of the GTTS-3000 has a clever design that allows tube clamp mounting on a wide variety of tube diameters ranging from 32mm to 60mm.

Installation on a railing or tube with a diameter less than 40mm.

Please note the orientation of the lower mounting plate

Installation on railing or tube with diameter larger then 40mm

Please note the orientation of the lower mounting plate

It is advised to wrap a sheet of thin rubber around the tube or railing to protect the paint coating. It also will add to the clamp’s grip.

Do not over tighten the four M5 bolts. (Maximum torque 4Nm) Use an 8 mm spanner.

Page 9 of 15

2.3.3 Installation with screw mounting

If the GTTS-3000 should be installed using 4 pieces M5 bolts, drill 4 holes Ø 5,5 mm according the drill plan. See figure below.

Figure 6. Drill plan

If the (platform) screw mounting installation is desired, pay special attention to the possible water ingress due to the drilled holes in the mounting surface.

Page 10 of 15

2.4 Electrical Installation

The GTTS-3000 transceiver (outdoor part) comes prewired with a six wire screened cable.

Connect the V+ and V

– wire to an 1Amp/12..24V DC power supply is all that is needed to make the

GTTS-3000 operational. We suggest to place an inline fuse of 1Amp slow. Although the power supply input is protected against polarity reversal and voltage transients it is good practice to check (colour coding) scheme once again before supplying the permanent voltage supply.

2.4.1 Electrical Installation using the BIC Box

Installation becomes easier and more safe if the (standard included) Basic Indoor Connection (BIC)

Box is used. It provides a 5.1mm DC jack input for 24V AC/DC adapter in parallel with a terminal block for power connection. The two DC Power inputs are separated by a diode network and it is allowed to connect both simultaneously for redundant power input. Screw type terminal blocks offer easy and proper connection of the wiring.

Enclosed also an 1Amp Slow blow fuse. It has a DB9 connector for easy connection to a computer or other device.

It also has two LED indicator to show the Power status and the status of the device.

The legenda of the four most common status’s are printed on the foil.

The BIC Box also provides return current protection if there is a power loss and the transceiver runs from the optional embedded backup battery.

3 Configuration

The GTTS-

3000‘s are shipped from factory in a pre-configured state.

The customers desired configuration is passed to GTTSystems B.V. by the dealers. The units are then configured, tested, packed and shipped. Currently there are three configurations released and integrated into the GTTS-3000 firmware. Two of those provide backward compatibility with the GTTS-

2000 series. This allows system integrators to switch from the GTTS-2000 to the GTTS-3000 without any hustle.

Configuration can be altered “over the air”.

A dedicated Windows® Platform computer configuration tool allows dealers to (re)configure or select a configuration and set a variety of setting like reporting frequency etc..

3.1 GTTS communication protocol

The GTTS 3000 can use two protocols for communicataion.

3.1.1 GTTS-MessagePack Generic Protocol

The GTTS-MessagePack Generic Protocol is based upon the messagepack format (see www.msgpack.org)

This protocol has a bit more overhead than the other protocols, but in return it offers great flexibility if one want to use the GTTS-3000 as a data terminal or transceiver next to, or instead of, a tracking and tracing device.

3.1.2 Maritime M2M Applications

To ease integration of the GTTS-3000 into maritime M2M (or Ship to Shore) applications, a

NMEA0183 type serial protocol over the RS485 bus was developed and integrated into the GTTS-

MessagePack protocol. This makes it relatively easy to send sensor data, text etc. directly to back office (server) platform. If you are using the GAP platform, data is directly visible without any alterations to the platfor m’s layout.

4 Options

There are several options available. Most options are born out of customer demands and are already put into action in certain applications and are proven solid options.

The list of options is likely to grow over time.

4.1 Battery Backup

There is a battery backup printed circuit board available that can be placed in the outdoor unit.

Advantage of having a (additional) backup battery in the outdoor unit is that the GTTS-3000 will continue working if main power source(s) are lost and/or connection cable is cut. If the GTTS-3000 starts running from its backup battery, it will indicate in the messages that it runs from backup, and a different communication protocol may be initiated to extend the operational time and/or function of the device. The battery is heated to extend the range of charging at low temperatures.

Best is to have the battery backup option installed in the factory, but it can be retro fitted by installers also.

4.2 GSM/GPRS

There is a GSM/GPRS printed circuit board available that can be placed in the outdoor unit. This option makes the GTTS-3000 an Iridium & GSM hybrid. This optional printed circuit board also holds possibilities for battery backup.

The SIM card is placed in the outdoor unit as well. This is a slightly disadvantage in production or installation but prevents miss usage of GSM SIM cards. The antenna is embedded as well and placed vertically in the housing, stacked between the two printed circuit boards, providing vertical polarized signal orientation.
