Battery Connection & Power

Sparta gateway may be mounted either on the battery box or inside it. To be hidden, Sparta must be inserted inside the battery box.

1. Place the Sparta gateway in the desired location on the battery according to your requirements (outside or inside the battery box).
   
   

2. Connect the Sparta gateway to the battery, connect the red wires to the plus side and the black wires to the minus side.

Outside-the-box connection

Open

 

 

Inside-the-box connection

Open

 

3. It is now necessary to connect the Sparta gateway to the computer for configuration.

Power Center Configuration

1. Connect the RS485 connector to the Sparta input.

2. Connect the other side of the RS485 connector to the RS485 to USB converter.

3. Connect the RS485 converter to the computer

4. Open the Power Center

5. Open the “Active Device” drop-down menu, and select “Power Device”.

6. Open the “Connect Via” drop-down menu, and select the relevant Serial COM port.

7. Chose the “Sparta” tab

8. By double-clicking on the "Messages" option, a new tab will be opened with the name "Communication Log". You should drag this tab to the right side of the Power Center until you see a square icon. Locate the computer's mouse in this square and drop the "Communication Log" there. This action will locate the "Communication Log" in a convenient location so that it can be viewed to determine whether there has been communication with Sparta.

   After that, click the “Sparta” tab again.

   Ensure that the "Communication log" is filled with data.

9. Click on “Read Configuration” and then “Status”.

10. If it is necessary to change Sparta’s default parameters, please refer to the following section.

• Server URL
  The address of the Galooli Server for the purpose of transferring data. This information can be found in the technical booklet of the organization.

• Network APN

  The following is a list of all the global SIM cards that Galooli offers. There will be a different APN for each local carrier.

  SIM card address:

  • Telefónica Digital Solutions - M2M & IoT (telefonica)

  • internet.gma.iot (t-mobile)

  • bicsapn (BICS)

• Network User
  There are some cellular operators that require a username for each SIM card. In the absence of a mention, move on.

• Network Password
  There are some cellular operators that require a password for each SIM card. In the absence of a mention, move on.

• Out of storage voltage [V]
  When a certain voltage is applied, the Sparta will move from the “Storage” mode to the “In Cabinet” mode. 13.1V as a default.

• Storage Sampling Interval [Minutes]
  The interval during "Storage" mode when the Sparta will check its own status. During the test, no information is recorded or sent to the server, but only an internal test is conducted. The Sparta uses this method to determine whether it should move to another status set by the user. The default is every 60 minutes.

• In-Cabinet Metrics Interval [Minutes]
  The duration of Sparta connection to the server during each interval. 5 minutes is the default time.

• In-Cabinet Wakeup Interval [Hours]
  Sparta frequency of connection to the server. 24 hours is the default time.
  Note: A serial connection can be made at any time. OTA connection can be made only in this period of time.

• GPS state while in-Cabinet
  The GPS receiver status is controlled while the Sparta is in the "In Cabinet" mode. The Sparta location will not be sent to the server during the "In Cabinet" wakeup interval if the box is unchecked.

• Report Intervals [seconds]
  Sets how often the Sparta transmits information to the server once the unit is in “Tracking” mode.

  60 seconds is the default time.

• Movement Sensor Sensitivity
  Defines the Sensitivity level of the accelerometer (motion sensor).
  Normal is the default.

• Disable User Interface
  In the event that this option is checked, the Sparta's LEDs will not be illuminated.

• Enable Silk Route™ Technology
  With this option enabled, Sparta's track trail display on the map will be more accurate and uninterrupted while in "tracking" mode. Consequently, more power and data are consumed.

11. Ensure that the Sparta hardware version is up-to-date, if necessary update the version. After an upgrade has occurred, click on “Write configuration”.
