It includes GPS location, temperature, orientation and vibration sensors to monitor the state of an asset. Data is broadcast to LoRa gateways in the area which can forward the data over the internet to a server for processing and display. Data transmission can be triggered via a magnetic switch or motion detection. Data is also transmitted once every 24 hours if no other triggers have occurred in that time period. A status LED indicates the current state of the device and provides feedback for specific operations as detailed in Operation. Figure 2 shows the sensor and user interaction areas.

Figure 2: Serial number, status indicator, and switch location. Place magnet at marked location to activate switch. The following states are indicated by the status LED (https://youtu.be/rE3U0P0CyeI) Status Indicator Sensor State Solid ON Boot Blink once every 2 seconds Wait for GPS Data Fast Blinking (4 times per second) Transmitting Two short blinks Entering sleep Ship Mode
(https://youtu.be/-TA6ZwzGg0k) All sensors are delivered in a low power ship mode, and must be activated with the magnetic switch prior to use. To activate a sensor:
1. Hold a magnet against the magnetic switch to turn ON. Status will start blinking quickly. 2. When blinking slows, pull magnet away to turn switch OFF. 3. When fast blinking starts again, hold magnet against the switch to turn ON. 4. When blinking slows, pull magnet away to turn switch OFF. 5. Sensor will boot up with Status ON solid Title Doc

(https://youtu.be/GSHlDmlx6jc). a. Push new battery into holder, noting polarity markings. b. LEDs will start alternating green and red. c. Hold a magnet against the magnetic switch. d. When blinking slows, pull magnet away to turn switch OFF. e. When fast blinking starts again, hold magnet against switch to turn ON. f. When blinking slows, pull magnet away to turn switch OFF. g. Green LED will blink 5 times to indicate success, then sensor will boot. i. If 5 green blinks are not seen, remove and reinstall battery to try again. 5. Prepare to reassemble sensor:
a. Clean o-ring groove and case walls with lint-free cloth to ensure clean seal. b. Check desiccant - if pink replace with fresh desiccant pack. c. Ensure foam and desiccant are placed as shown. 6. Place board back in case, secure with 4x PH1 screws. 7. Ensure lid seal area is clean, then reinstall with 4x PH2 screws. Note orientation for serial number visibility. Title Doc
