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-6C3 options and variations. RSAE Part Number HW Option Communication Options Color 80-1004-04 1084 mist, 2G/LTE-M Cellular, No Iridium Medium Blue 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. Device Description 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.

Battery Charging 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. Figure 3 - Battery Pack Separated from Main Housing Figure 4 - GS-6C Battery with Charger Adapter Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 5 14-Mar-2022 z 1.3. Communications The GS-6C communicates to the Device Management Center using one of its configured radios:
Cellular Radio. Either 2G/3G GSM compatible or LTE/Cat-M1 compatible (future). 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. Communications over the mist mesh radio is offered in conjunction with the deployment of mist mesh gateways. 1.4. Device Management Center 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. Figure 5 - GS-6C Communication Interfaces Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 6 14-Mar-2022 1.5. Configuration 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. An example configuration is shown in Figure 6. 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.

Required Tools and Accessories 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. 1.7. Certifications and Compliance The GS-6C has been tested to meet the performance specifications defined in Section 6. Specifically, the GS-6C meets applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC), European (CE), Taiwan, and Japanese standards. The GS-6C has been tested to meet applicable safety requirements for worldwide operation. See section 7 for more information. 1.8. Warranty 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 6.

Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 8 14-Mar-2022 2. User Interface 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. System LED 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 Meaning Green blink once every 30 seconds (configurable) Routine monitoring Continuous red blinking Acquiring GPS/GNSS position Continuous green blinking Communications cycle One second red blink Follows magnetic sensor activation. Results in GPS/GNSS cycle followed by Communications cycle Solid red LED 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 5.5. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 9 14-Mar-2022 2.2. mist LED 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 mist mesh radio is inactive Blinking red 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 2.3. Magnetic Sensor 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. Power Control 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. Rebooting GS-6C 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. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 10 14-Mar-2022 3. Charging the Battery This section describes battery maintenance of the GS-6C. 3.1. Battery Charger 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 SPECIFICATION Cell-Con 452415-NC Wall Power Input 120-240 VAC, 1.3A Maximum Output 50-60 Hz Fast Charge: 3.5 A Top-Off Charge: 480 mA Trickle Charge: 100 mA 3.2. Removing the Battery Pack 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 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 11 14-Mar-2022 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 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 12 14-Mar-2022 3.3. Connecting Battery Charger Use the procedure below to connect the battery pack to the charger and charge the batteries for the next mission. Step Action Picture 1 2 3 4 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. 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. 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). Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 13 14-Mar-2022 5 6 7 Allow the battery to pack charge for at least 2 hours. The battery pack can be removed when the charger light turns green and stays green. This is the trickle charge mode as described on the bottom of the charger. CAUTION: Failure to remove the charger from the battery pack 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. DO NOT USE A POWERED driver. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. 3.4. Detecting Failed Batteries Battery packs should not be used if any of the following conditions occur. Visible damage to battery pack Charger does not display green light after 2.5 hours of charging Leaking fluids or substances from battery pack Do not ship battery packs which have failed using expedited Air services as they should be considered hazardous materials. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 14 14-Mar-2022 3.5. Disposal of Batteries 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 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 15 14-Mar-2022 4. Locating Position The GS-6C employs a number of methods to determine its geographic location. These are discussed in the proceeding sections 4.1. GPS/GNSS Receiver 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. 4.2. Cell Tower Location Services 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. 4.3. mist Beacons 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. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 16 14-Mar-2022 5. GS-6C Sensors 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. 5.1. Door Sensors 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. 5.2. Internal Cargo Light Sensor 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. 5.3. Accelerometer 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. 5.4. Temperature and Humidity 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. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 17 14-Mar-2022 5.5. Battery Meter 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
>50%
Orange 20 49%
Red
<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.

The GS-6C has also been verified to comply with European (CE), Japanese, and Taiwan certifications and bears those certification markings. 7.3. Embedded Radios 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 Part Number FCC-ID GS-6C Top Level Assembly 80-1004-04 uBlox SARA-R422S Texas Instruments CC2538 Tested under FCC-ID 7.4. Interference 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. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 23 14-Mar-2022 7.5. Regulatory Warnings 7.5.1. CE Warning 1. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. 2. The operating temperature of the device cant exceed 40 and shouldnt be lower than -20. 3. The device complies with RF specifications when the device used at 20cm from the body. Hereby, RSAE Labs, Inc. declares that this product is in compliance with essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU. This product is allowed to be used in all EU member states. 7.5.2. FCC Warning 15.19 Labeling requirements. This device 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. 15.21 Information to user. Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure information This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, this device should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. 7.6. Modifications 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. 7.7. Human Exposure 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 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 modem emitter. During normal operation, please handle the unit by the battery pack. Version 1.0 Copyright 2019-2022 RSAE Labs RSAE Labs Document 0622004 Page 24 14-Mar-2022 Note that the cellular modem is seldom powered on and transmitting. In normal operation, this modem is turned on for less than 60 seconds and has a duty cycle of around 30 minutes to 24 hours. In all use cases exposure to RF signals is several orders of magnitude less than a standard cell phone. It is still suggested personnel hold the unit by the battery pack and not the radome as a secondary precaution. Note that with the battery pack removed the device does not transmit. 7.8. Conflict Minerals RSAE Labs, Inc is committed to operating as 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.
