Overview This document describes to the end user how to operate a GS-6C in context of a container logistics environment. This document describes the following GS-6C options and variations. RSAE Part Number HW Option 80-1004-01 80-1004-02 1079 1080 Color Communication Options Medium Blue mist, 2G/3G Cellular, No Iridium mist, 2G/3G Cellular, With Iridium Medium Red Device Description It is assumed that the GS-6C has been previously configured by RSAE Labs prior to the end user receiving the device. As such, details on configuring the device are outside of the scope of this document. 1.1. The GS-6C, shown in Figure 1, is a battery-operated device used to secure and track standard ISO 20 and 40 containers. It includes sensors for accurately determining when and where the container doors are opened and closed. It includes a GPS/GNSS receiver for tracking the container around the world and alerting when containers arrive at specific locations such as origins, destinations, ports, and rail yards. In addition, the GS-6C includes light sensors for sensing whether the container has been breached through the ceiling, floor, and side panels. The primary user interface is the mist and System LEDs as shown in Figure 2. The function of the LEDs is described in Section 2.1 and 2.2. Operators should use the battery pack as a handle.

Before installation, the battery must be separated from the main housing and charged using an RSAE Labs provided charger as shown in Figure 3. It takes approximately 2 hours to charge a completely depleted battery. The charger has a trickle charge mode that activates after charging is complete. It is advised to discontinue charging the battery within 4 hours of entering the trickle charge mode. Please refer to the Battery Charging manual for additional information. Battery charging is discussed in detail in Section 3.2. Figure 3 - Battery Pack Separated from Main Housing Figure 4 - GS-6C Battery with Charger Adapter Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 5 08-Apr -2019 Installation 1.3. The GS-6C installs on the doors at the rear of the container as shown below. The device has high force magnets that hold it onto the cross beam as the doors are closed. A hookplate joins the radome and the main housing. Once the doors are closed, the radome is exposed on the outside of the container while the electronics and batteries are hidden behind the door within the container. The seals of the door slide across the hookplate as the doors are closed maintaining the seal integrity.

The GS-6C communicates to the Device Management Center using one of its three radios:
Cellular Radio. Either 2G/3G GSM compatible or LTE/Ca-tM1 compatible (future). Iridium Satellite Radio (optional). mist Mesh Radio (IEEE 802.15.4). For Cellular communications, RSAE Labs installs and provisions the SIM card once there is a service agreement in place. Iridium is an optional service that can provide global coverage in the absence of cellular networks such as on ocean freighters and rural locations. Communications over the mist mesh radio is offered in conjunction with the deployment of mist mesh gateways. 1.5. The Device Management Center (DMC) is an internet service which interfaces to the GS-6C across the general internet. The DMC accepts data from the device and logs it into its database. That data may also be forwarded to customers. The DMC sends any pending configuration information and/or commands to the device whenever the device reports. Communications is fully bidirectional and encrypted point-to-point between the DMC and the device. Device Management Center Least Cost Routing

(in order of reliable precision) mist Position Beacon GPS/GNSS Global Cellular Configuration 1.6. Configuration information is managed by the RSAE Labs DMC. Configuration data can be customer and supply chain specific. The DMC can load configuration information into one device or a fleet of devices on a customer and/or supply chain as operating paradigms dictate. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 7 08-Apr -2019 An example configuration is shown in Figure 9. Once the configuration is defined, it is loaded using Configuration-Over-The-Air (COTA) capabilities of the DMC and the device to perform operational reconfiguration tasks for the device. Use of the DMC to configure devices and download configurations is common among all Global Sentinel and mist devices. It is described in separate documentation and is outside the scope of this manual. The DMC is also used to upload Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) using secure communications and image techniques. This keeps the devices current without having the unit return to RSAE Labs. RSAE Labs coordinates COTA and FOTA updates to devices with customers to ensure changes do not adversely affect operation of the device.

The GS-6C has no user serviceable components other than installation and removal of the battery pack. The battery pack must be removed to be charged. The battery pack is held by two 5/32 hex head captive screws. In order to remove the battery pack, a corresponding 5/32 hex driver is required. Battery pack removal and charging are discussed in detail in Section 3.2. 1.8. The GS-6C has been tested to meet the performance specifications defined in Section 8. Specifically, the GS-6C meets applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and European (CE) standards. The GS-6C has been tested to meet applicable safety requirements for worldwide operation. See section 9 for more information. 1.9. The GS-6C is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 12 months from date of delivery. This warranty does not apply to damage caused by misuse, abnormal use, neglect, impact, exposure to harmful liquids, improper handling or extreme environmental conditions outside the design tolerances specified in section 8. There are no user serviceable parts inside the GS-6C main housing, radome, or battery pack. This warranty does not apply to GS-6C devices which have been opened by any user for any purpose. This warranty does not apply to any device which has been repaired, altered or modified in any way by any third party. THE WARRANTY STATED ABOVE IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES AS TO QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR MERCHANTABILITY. RSAE LABS, INC. (MANUFACTURER) MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL MEET ANY SPECIFICATIONS NOT MADE KNOWN TO MANUFACTURER. MANUFACTURER MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ANY PRODUCTS WILL RECEIVE THE APPROVAL OF OR BE CERTIFIED BY ANY DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR CERTIFYING ENTITY, AND MANUFACTURER ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR OBTAINING SUCH APPROVALS OR CERTIFICATIONS EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8.

Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 9 08-Apr -2019 2. User Interface System LED As a security and autonomous tracking device, the GS-6C was designed to have a minimal User Interface. The user interface of the GS-6C consists of two LEDs and a magnetic sensor. The GS-6C is meant to be always on. It can be powered off by removing the battery pack. Insertion of the battery immediately powers the device on. The majority of the operational states of the device can be controlled remotely over-the-air from the DMC. 2.1. The Sys LED is used to indicate the current state of the device. During routine monitoring, the LED is configured to blink green for one (1) second every 30 seconds. Note, the 30 second blink interval can be configured to blink at different rates or be completely turned off. When the GS-6C has activated the GPS/GNSS receiver, the Sys LED will blink red continuously. A GPS/GNSS cycle generally takes between 30 120 seconds. When the GS-6C is communicating (or attempting to communicate) with the DMC, the Sys LED will blink green continuously. Depending upon the time to register on the communication network, the communications cycle takes between 1 5 minutes. For devices which roam onto a new cellular network, the communications cycle may take up to 10 minutes. Introducing a magnet in the vicinity of the magnetic sensor causes the GS-6C to acquire its GPS/GNSS position and to initiate a report cycle with the DMC. The magnetic sensor can be disabled as part of the device configuration A solid red LED indicates that the device is rebooting. This occurs after the device power has been removed and reapplied. The table below shows a summary of the Sys LED states:
Sys LED State Green blink once every 30 seconds (configurable) Continuous red blinking Continuous green blinking One second red blink Solid red LED Meaning Routine monitoring Acquiring GPS/GNSS position Communications cycle Follows magnetic sensor activation. Results in GPS/GNSS cycle followed by Communications cycle Device is rebooting In addition to the states listed above, the LED can be used to indicate the approximate capacity of the battery pack. This is detailed in Section 7.5. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 10 08-Apr -2019 mist LED 2.2. The mist LED indicates whether the mist radio within the GS-6C is active. The GS-6C can function as a mist mesh gateway supporting a mesh network 1000s of mist mesh nodes. In addition, the mesh radio can be used to receive position beacons as a way to obtain an accurate location when GPS/GNSS is not obtainable. In the presence of another mesh gateway, the GS-6C can use the mist network as an alternative communications path. The mist LED has the following states:
LED off Blinking red mist mesh radio is inactive mist radio is active, but is not accepting nodes or is not joined to a network Blinking green mist radio is active and is functioning as a gateway or is joined to a network Magnetic Sensor 2.3. The magnetic sensor can be used to cause the GS-6C to initiate a GPS/GNSS cycle followed by a report cycle. Note: This sensor is available as a configuration item to initiate a report with the unit on a bench, in a box, or on a container with the doors open. It is intentionally not able to initiate a report when the unit is on a container with doors closed. This is for security reasons. Someone outside the container should not be able to trip the magnetic sensor. 2.4. The removable battery pack is used to power the device. To turn the device off, separate the battery pack from the main housing. To turn the device on, plug the battery pack into the main housing and secure it with the mounting screws. 2.5. To reboot or reset the GS-6C, release the battery screws, remove the battery pack, wait 5 seconds, reinstall the battery pack, and then tighten the screws. Rebooting GS-6C Power Control Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 11 08-Apr -2019 3. Charging the Battery Battery Charger This section describes battery maintenance of the GS-6C. 3.1. The battery charger is designed for indoor use. Please refer to the Battery Charger manual for more details on its use. The bottom of the charger describes the LED states and the indicated charging phase by LED color. The battery pack used for the GS-6C is a commercially available charger with a custom GS-6C battery interface cap. The charger is described below. DESCRIPTION Manufacturer Model Wall Power Input Output SPECIFICATION Cell-Con 452415-NB 120-240 VAC, 1.3A Maximum 50-60 Hz Fast Charge: 4 A Top-Off Charge: 560 mA Trickle Charge: 130 mA Removing the Battery Pack 3.2. Removing the battery pack is described in the procedure below. Once the battery pack has been removed, it should be inspected for damage to the three terminals that mate with the main housing. If any of these terminals are missing or damage, the battery pack must be replaced. Once the battery pack has been removed, it is advised that the terminals be cleaned with a dry cloth prior to charging. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 12 08-Apr -2019 Step Action Picture 1 Remove the screws holding the battery to the device using a 5/32 x 125 hex head driver. Remove both left and right screws until the battery pack separates. Note that these screws are designed to be captive. Keep screws with the battery pack. 2 Separate the battery pack from the main housing. 3 Inspect battery terminals and verify there is no damage. Check both the battery pack and main housing terminals shown. Discard the battery as damaged if the terminals are not straight or intact as shown in the figure below. 4 Wipe the battery terminals with a clean cloth. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 13 08-Apr -2019 Connecting Battery Charger 3.3. Use the procedure below to connect the battery pack to the charger and charge the batteries for the next mission. Picture Step Action 1 2 If not already separated, remove the battery pack from the main housing as described in Section 3.2 above. Connect the battery to the charger as shown. The charger interface adapter is keyed to prevent reversal of the battery terminals. DO NOT USE FORCE to connect the charger interface adapter to the battery pack. 3 If charger was not previously connected, connect charger to wall outlet and verify the charger light turns yellow. It will not change color until a battery is connected. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 14 08-Apr -2019 4 5 6 7 The LED should turn red within 5 seconds if the charger has just been powered on. This indicates that the battery is being fast charged. If a previous battery was just removed, it may take up to 5 minutes for the LED to turn red. If the battery is already charged, the LED will not turn red but will stay green (trickle charging). Allow the battery to pack charge for at least 2 hours. The battery pack can be removed when the charger light turns green and blinks very quickly yellow at a 2 per second rate. This is trickle charge mode as described on the bottom of the charger. CAUTION: Failure to remove the charger from the battery pack 8 to 12 hours after charging has completed may result in reduced battery life performance on the GS-6C. Remove the battery back from charger. Reinstall the battery pack on the main housing and tighten the screws to hand tight plus turn. 3.4. Battery packs should not be used if any of the following conditions occur. Detecting Failed Batteries Visible damage to battery pack Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 15 08-Apr -2019 Leaking fluids or substances from battery pack Charger does not display green light after 2 hours of charging Disposal of Batteries Do not ship battery packs which have failed using expedited Air services as they should be considered hazardous materials. 3.5. The GS-6C battery pack uses Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. These batteries do not contain Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg) or Lead (Pb). The Nickel and electrolyte in the NiMH battery cells are considered semi-toxic. In large quantities, nickel can be dangerous. It is a known carcinogen, can cause cardiovascular disease, and can cause liver and kidney damage. RSAE Labs encourages recycling to recover the metals, be environmentally responsible, and prevent exposure to humans. However, in most states within the USA it is acceptable to dispose of small quantities (under 10) NiMH batteries in household trash. Within the European Union, follow the guidance provided by EU Directive 2006/66/EC (or most current directive) as implemented by the appropriate Member State. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 16 08-Apr -2019 4. Installation This section describes how to install the GS-6C on an ISO 20 or 40 container. If appropriate, charge the battery prior to installation as described in Section 3 above. Step Action Picture 1 2 3 Place the GS-6C unit on the ISO container beam as shown. Center the unit on the beam between the locking bars as shown. Strong magnets should pull the unit into place on the beam and hold it there until the doors are closed. CAUTION: If using a ladder, follow all appropriate safety precautions associated with its use. Do not stand the ladder immediately underneath the device in case the device it falls. CAUTION: Installation personnel must not stand underneath the GS-6C unit while it is being held in place with magnets in case the unit works free and falls. Allow the unit to fall to the ground rather than allowing it to strike installation personnel. WARNING: Failure to remain clear of the device when it is held with magnets may result in injury or death. Close the left container door sandwiching half of the GS-6C hookplate as shown. Verify that the unit remains in the center of the door stanchions. Verify the installation appears as shown in this picture. Specifically, the unit should be centered between the stanchions and the seals should overlap the hookplate. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 17 08-Apr -2019 4 After 5 minutes, verify on the DMC that the container door state is shown as Closed and the security state is Armed. 5. Removal This section describes how to remove the GS-6C on an ISO 20 or 40 container. WARNING: Do not stand directly beneath or within 2 foot of the drop area of the GS-6C as the doors are being opened. Failure to follow this rule may result in injury or death. Step Action Picture 1 2 3 Start with both container doors closed as shown. Open the right container door leaving the GS-6C sandwiched on between the left door and the container beam. Carefully open the left door attempting to keep the GS-6C up against the container beam. The goal is to leave the unit on the beam as shown without the unit falling from the beam. If the unit moves while the left door is being opened, have a second person climb into the container and hold the unit from the battery pack as it is removed. CAUTION: It is very important that personnel not stand under the GS-6C device during this phase as the device may fall. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 18 08-Apr -2019 4 Using the battery pack, remove the device from the container. If the installer is at ground level and the container is on a trailer chassis, it may be necessary to climb into the container to perform this step. CAUTION: Follow all safety procedures for climbing or entering into the container as approved by your organization. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 19 08-Apr -2019 6. Locating Position GPS/GNSS Receiver Cell Tower Location Services The GS-6C employs a number of methods to determine its geographic location. These are discussed in the proceeding sections 6.1. The GS-6C contains a high accuracy state-of-the-art, multi-constellation concurrent Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The receiver is capable of acquiring satellite signals from the United States GPS constellation, the Russian GLONASS constellation and in the near future the European Galileo constellation. With unobstructed view of the sky, the GNSS receiver can generally obtain a location within 30 seconds. The GS-6C allows up to 90 seconds of acquisition to allow the unit to obtain a more accurate fix. If the receiver is not able to obtain a suitable position fix within the allotted time, it will discontinue operation in order to preserve battery power. 6.2. If the GS-6C is unable to obtain a suitable position via the GPS/GNSS receiver, it will, as part of the cellular communications cycle, obtain a list of neighboring cell towers. The GS-6C will transmit the cell tower list to the DMC. The DMC, using a third-party location API, will then obtain the approximate location of the device based upon the list of cell tower. Cell tower derived location, while not as accurate as GPS/GNSS, can provide a useful location and provide an awareness as to the location of the container that is being tracked. 6.3. The GS-6C can also determine its location by the use of mist beacons. These fixed mount devices are programmed to beacon out their location and are used mainly in indoor locations which are GPS/GNSS denied. Since cell tower derived locations can be somewhat inaccurate, mist beacons can be used to greatly improved the location accuracy. By deploying multiple beacons within a warehouse, the location within the warehouse can be determined. mist Beacons Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 20 08-Apr -2019 7. GS-6C Sensors Door Sensors Internal Cargo Light Sensor The GS-6C includes several sensors which provide situational awareness of the container state. The values of these sensors are reported to the DMC based on a schedule and when an unexpected event occurs. The GS-6C uses data from these sensors along with the GPS/GNSS, cellular, and satellite radio outputs to provide an integrated view of the container. This integrated view allows the GS-6C to perform several actions autonomously. 7.1. The GS-6C uses a dual IR/Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) to determine if a container door is opened or closed. The device automatically calibrates itself to the container and using our Adaptive Container Management (ACM) software reliably differentiates between door chatter and a true door opening. Upon sensing a door state change (opening or closing), the GS-6C immediately reports this to the DMC along with a timestamp and location report. 7.2. In addition to the ALS, the GS-6C includes a cargo light sensor. Along with the ALS, the GS-6C is able to differentiate between a door opening and an intrusion into the container. As such, the GS-6C provides a notification if the container has been breached. 7.3. The GS-6C includes an accelerometer that is used to determine whether the container is at rest or moving. It can be configured to detect and record tilt events, shock events, and drop events. The GS-6C does not naturally remain in an upright position as it is difficult to balance on the long end of the battery pack. The accelerometer measures the orientation. Together with the door states, the accelerometer is used to automatically determine when the GS-6C is mounted or unmounted. When properly mounted on a container, the tilt of the GS-6C can be used to determine the tilt of the container. This can be configured to generate an event identifying where and when a container has been tilted enough to cause cargo to shift. The GS-6C free-fall detector can be used to determine if the GS-6C has been dropped. Along with other sensors, this helps identify when and where a container may have been damaged. 7.4. The GS-6C includes a precision temperature and humidity sensor. The GS-6C can be configured with upper and lower limits to detect and report abnormal temperature and humidity inside the container. The device implements hysteresis around these limits to reduce the number of reports or chattering. Temperature and Humidity Accelerometer Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 21 08-Apr -2019 Version 1.4 Battery Meter 7.5. The GS-6C calculates its battery usage based upon the frequency of sensor reads, the number and length of GPS/GNSS cycles and the number and length of communication cycles. The estimated remaining battery capacity and battery voltage is reported to the DMC. The DMC can be configured to alert users when the battery capacity is below a threshold value or the battery voltage is at a critical value. In addition to reporting the battery capacity and voltage to the DMC, the Sys LED can be used as an estimate of the battery capacity. By tilting the unit from flat to upright, the LED will momentarily light as follows:
LED Color Battery Capacity Green Orange Red
>50%
20 49%
<20%
While only a guide, this can provide the end user with an approximate indication of the remaining battery capacity. RSAE Labs suggests that before any deployment of the GS-6C that the battery pack is recharged to ensure near 100% battery capacity. Version 1.4 Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 22 08-Apr -2019 8.

Compliance and Certifications Lead Free Radio Operation 9.1. The GS-6C and all subcomponents comply with all RoHS and RoHS2 directives. 9.2. The GS-6C complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 9.3. The GS-6C includes the following embedded radio components tested for FCC and EU compliance. The module level FCC certifications for these components are as follows. Manufacturer GS-6C Top Level Assembly uBlox Iridium Texas Instruments FCC-ID 2ASIM-GS6C1 XPY1CGM5NNN Q639602-SB Tested under 2ASIM-GS6C1 Part Number 80-1004-01 SARA-U201 SBDN9602A01 CC2538 Embedded Radios Interference 9.4. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Consult RSAE Labs for help. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Modifications 9.5. This device contains radio equipment and must comply with FCC rules. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RSAE Labs may void the users authority to operate the equipment. Copyright 2019 RSAE Labs Page 27 08-Apr -2019 Version 1.4 Conflict Minerals Human Exposure 9.6. In order to comply with FCC/ISED RF Exposure requirements, this device must be installed to provide at least 25 cm (9.8 inches) separation from the human body at all times. This requirement is relative to the radome component which houses the cellular and satellite modem emitters. Holding the device by the battery handle does not expose the human body to excessive RF exposure since it is more than 25 cm from the cellular and satellite modem emitters. During normal operation, please handle the unit by the battery pack. Note that the cellular and satellite modems (if installed) are seldom powered on and transmitting. In normal operation, these modems are seldom turned on for less than 60 seconds and have a duty cycle of around 30 minutes to 24 hours. It is still suggested personnel hold the unit by the battery pack. Note that with the battery pack removed the device does not transmit. 9.7. RSAE Labs, Inc is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and is opposed to human rights abuses. As part of that commitment, RSAE Labs seeks to source products, components and materials from companies that share our values around human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. In August 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules implementing Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Conflict Minerals Rule). Under these rules, publicly traded companies must annually report to the SEC whether the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture contain conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the DRC) or adjoining countries. Revenue from the mining and transport of these conflict minerals is believed to be financing or benefiting groups that are responsible for human rights violations. "Conflict minerals" refers to columbite-tantalite
(coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten, without regard to the location or origin of the minerals or derivative metals. RSAE Labs supports industry-wide efforts to identify, reduce and hopefully eliminate the use of conflict minerals originating from the DRC and adjoining countries to the extent believed to be financing or benefiting groups committing human rights violations. RSAE Labs is committed to complying with any applicable requirements under the Conflict Minerals Rule and has implemented a due-diligence process to meet its obligations under the legislation. Suppliers to RSAE Labs are expected to establish their own conflict minerals policies, due diligence frameworks and management systems that are designed to prevent conflict minerals originating from the DRC or an adjoining country, to the extent that they benefit groups committing human rights violations, from being included in the products sold to RSAE Labs. In the event RSAE Labs determines that a supplier has failed to develop and implement reasonable steps to comply with this Policy, RSAE Labs reserves the right to take appropriate actions, which may include discontinuing the business relationship with the supplier.
