RefLine Features

.Introduction The RefLine system is flexible and can be configured with options to add local

monitoring capabilities. This section describes the standard and optional features.

GSM datatelemetry

The RefLine system sends data over the GSM mobile phone network on the 850,900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands. This requires a data-enabled GSM account and aSIM card (not included).

Using the GSM network, the system can send

Status reports and user-defined alarms to the Global Monitoring Server, and User-defined SMS alarms to up to 4 GSM mobile phones.

This data is transmitted via the GSM networks GPRS mobile data service or Short

Message Service (SMS) using text messages. GPRS transmission is usually moreeconomical than SMS transmission.

To obtain GSM service, consult with a local GSM mobile phone provider and select aservice that provides data via GPRS. Note: Tell the GSM provider that you needto disable the SIM cards PIN code request, as not all SIM cards allow you to dothis.

More information about the GSM system, including coverage maps, is available fromwww.gsmworld.com.

If you will rely solely on SMS text messages, please verify that the GSM provider youselect supports text messaging through circuit-switched core network services

rather than packet switched services. You may also want to consider installing anSMS Bridge, available from JCI, that relays SMS messages sent to a domesticnumber.

Gensetmonitoringinformation

The standard configuration of the RefLine system provides the following genset datavia Reefers Online:

Position coordinates (formatted for Google Earth) Location and region (defined by user database) Days stationary at current location Total generator run time, in hours Generator run time since trip start, in hours Fuel level and consumption rate Genset state: running / off / shutdown

Extended reeferinformation

RefLine supports the extended alarm codes implemented in controllers from thefollowing manufacturers: Carrier Daikin Thermo King

GPS receiver The onboard Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver determines the cargos exactlocation. The GPS antenna must be exposed to the sky.

Analog sensorinputs

The system has two inputs for connection of analog sensors such as temperature orfuel gauges. In the standard configuration, the genset fuel gauge is connected toanalog input 1. The second input is available for monitoring something else.

The inputs are compatible with the following sensor types:

-25 to 30 C NTC temperature sensors 0 to 5 V (0 to 10 V with voltage divider) 4 to 20 mA

RefLine Features, Continued

Digital sensorinputs

Their are two inputs for connection of switches, relays, or digital sensors. TheTracking Module can generate alarms and/or activate auxiliary devices in responseto changes to the sensor input.

In the standard configuration, the genets run switch and oil pressure sensor areconnected to the digital inputs. Using the following logic, Reefers Online reports thegenerator operating condition.

Oil pressure detected: genset is running Run switch off: genset is off Run switch on but no oil pressure: genset is shut down

Low power

sleep mode

The Tracking Module has a very low power sleep mode that prevents it from

draining the generators battery when the generator is not in use.

When this feature is enabled, the system goes to sleep and consumes little powerwhen the generator is switched off. It wakes up briefly every 5 minutes to check theinputs, and the Tracking Module continues to send status reports as scheduled.

Sleep mode must be disabled as described on page 31 if the genset run switchis not connected to digital input 1.

Battery voltagemonitor

The Tracking Module monitors the battery voltage and can send an alarm if it fallsbelow a specified value.

Auxi liary devices The Tracking Module has two solid-state 2 A relays (digital outputs) that can controlauxiliary devices in response to user-defined alarms. The relays provide the DCsupply voltage. To prevent draining the battery, the relay outputs open when theTracking Module is in sleep mode.

If you choose to control devices with the Tracking Module, be sure to consider theeffect of the load on the battery.

External Sensors

Introduction The RefLine system makes use of the gensets fuel gauge and oil pressure sensor toreport fuel level, consumption rate, and generator operating condition. This sectiondescribes the types of sensors that can be connected to the Tracking Module.

Oil pressuresensor(digital input)

Two types of switching devices can be connected to the digital inputs: Electronic switching device (open collector) Standard relay/level switch (switch/contact).

The standard configuration uses an on/off type oil pressure sensor to sense whenthe generator is running. The oil pressure sensor must be open (no contact) whenthe generator is not running, and it must complete a circuit to ground when thegenerator is running. If an oil pressure sensor is not available, another sensor thatcloses when the genset is running may be used.

See also the specifications for digital inputs on page 32.

Fuel gauge(analog input )

The analog input accepts a 0 to 5 V signal. If the signal output is 0 to 10 V, you willneed a voltage divider in the signal line as shown below.

The standard configuration uses a fuel gauge connected to analog input 1 to monitorfuel level and consumption rate.

Configurationrequirements forfuel gauges

Reefers Online allows you to configure fuel sensors for three genset types but not foreach individual unit. Therefore, to get meaningful readings from multiple gensets of

the same type, the same type of fuel sensor must be used on each unit and thesensors must be connected to the same analog input.

Other analogsensors

The second analog input may be used for custom applications. J CI can provide theNTC temperature sensor for the Tracking Module that is listed on page 36.

4 to 20 mA sensors may be used as well. See the input specifications on page 32.

To access the GPRS network, enter your GSM networks GPRS access point name(APN), user name, and password in the fields under GPRS connection setup onthe GPRS tab. Some networks do not require a user name or password.

Contact your GSM service provider for GPRS login information, or search for it

online using APN and the name of the GSM network.

Note: You must restart the Tracking Module after changing the GPRS settings.

GMS address The settings under Global Monitoring Server address determine where RefLine datais sent.

The default values are for use with J CIs Global Monitoring Server. Do not changethe values unless you are implementing a custom monitoring solution.

Genset Report Settings

Introduction This section describes the settings for genset status reports.

Genset statusreporting interval

Select the desired genset status reporting interval in the Im Alive statusreporting intervalfield of the Basictab. More frequent reporting provides betterinformation but costs more in SMS or data charges.

For more economical reporting, use the combined reports option described below.

Status reporting can be disabled by selecting Offfrom the selectionlist.

Combined gensetreports(Log settings)

The options under Log Settings on the Misctab provide an economical way toreport genset data, particularly when sending via SMS. When the Send full logoption is checked, the system combines 14 reports and sends them together. Youset the reporting frequency in the Log Intervallist. For example, you can log dataevery 30 minutes and receive the reports every 7.5 hours.

Supply voltagealarm settings

The Tracking Module measures the battery voltage and can be set to generate analarm with the message Supply Voltage: [voltage] if it falls below the specified level.

Step Action

1 Click on theMisctab.2 Click in the Enable Low Voltage Alarm check box.3 Enter the desired value in theLowVoltage Alarm Levelfield.4 Select a trigger delay time from the Voltage Alarm Timeout (min) field.

Reefer Report Settings

Introduction This section describes the options for reefer status reports.

Reefer statusreport interval

The value you enter in the Reefer s tatus reporting interval (hour) field determineshow often reefer status reports (described on page 6) are sent. The timing is alsoinfluenced by the Save reefer status every hour / send wi th GPRS established

option described below.

If you use SMS onlyto transmit data, select the reefer status reporting interval thatmeets your reporting requirements. If you use GPRS, see the following section.

Log reefer datahourly for GPRStransmission

When the Save reefer status every hour / send with GPRS establishedoption isenabled, RefLine saves reefer status reports every hour and sends them in a bundlewith the next genset status Im alive report (or alarm) to reduce the cost of datatransmission.

If you schedule Im alive reports (see page 28), you may want to set the Reeferstatus reporting interval (hour) value to Off. If you do not schedule Im alivereports, select the reefer status report interval that meets your monitoring needs.

When the Save reefer status every hour / send with GPRS establishedoption isdisabled, RefLine sends a reefer status report at the interval selected in the Reeferstatus reporting interval (hour) field.

Note: This option has no effect if data is transmitted by SMS only.

Reefer locationID

You can use theLocation of all reefers field on the RefLine tab to identify a groupof gensets in the same location, route, or carrier. For example, if configuring RefLinefor gensets in a specific train, entering the name of the train in the Location of allreefers field will allow you to locate reefers by searching by train name instead of bycontainer or genset ID.

Lostcommunicationalarm settings

The lost communication alarm alerts you when the RefLine system is not receivingdata from a reefer container. This alarm is only meaningful when the generator isrunning. Therefore, it is recommended that it be enabled only if a digital input iswired in the standard configuration, i.e., to the run switch or oil pressure sensor.

Configure the lost communication alarm as follows.

Step Action1 Click theRefLine tab.2 Select one of the following Lock Reefers on Digital Inputdropdown list.

Select Off to disable the alarm. Select 1 if the run switch is wired to digital input 1. Select 2 if the oil pressure sensor is wired to digital input 2.

3 Click theDigital Inputtab.4 In the row for the same digital input, set theAlarm Levelto 1.
