The Shadow Tracker™ Premier uses a stationary system of satellites placed
around the globe in orbit by the Department of Defense (DOD). Signals received
from one satellite are compared to signals of three others in view. The small
differences in reception can be used to calculate the position anywhere on the
Earth through triangulation.

INTRODUCTION
Shadow Tracker Premier™
The Shadow Tracker™ Premier easily installs into a vehicle and use the vehicles
electrical system. The unit gathers and stores vital GPS data which is
downloaded into the application software providing detailed distance, location
and time information necessary for accurately monitoring your mobile staff.

INTRODUCTION
Connecting Power
The battery on the vehicle serves as the power source for the Shadow Tracker™
units however, if a unit is left on for an extended period in which the vehicle is not
running the unit may drain the vehicle battery to the point that the vehicle cannot
be started.
™
The adapter should be connected to the vehicles power source.
Carefully, connect the receiver adapter to the back of the Shadow Tracker unit
paying special attention not to bend any of the connector prongs.
Refer to: Wiring Instructions of this manual for further explanation.

Mounting and Placement
Mounting devices used and the specific placement location of the Shadow
Tracker Premier in the vehicle is left to the discretion of the end-user.
It is important, when considering the placement location for a unit, to
bear in mind that it is that the transmit antenna (located inside the
Shadow Tracker Premier) be kept at least 23 cm away from any nearby
persons in order to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements
Note:

™
™
The Red wire must be connected to a CONSTANT 12 volt positive power source,
it MUST have power even when the vehicle is turned off. The Blue wire should
be connected to a switched 12 volt positive power source, it should have power
ONLY when the vehicle is running and NOT when the vehicle is turned off. This
tells the Shadow Tracker™ Premier unit that the vehicle is turned off verifying
that the vehicle must be stopped. If you can not locate a switched power source
then the Blue wire MUST be connected to the same constant power source as
the Red wire. (Note: If the Blue wire is connected to a continuous power source
then the stop reporting may not be as accurate. The Blue wire MUST be
connected to a power source, either constant or switched or the Tracker unit will
NOT collect GPS data.) The Black wire must be connected to a 12 volt ground
source.
Once power is properly connected the LED and LED light located on
the front panel of the Shadow Tracker™ Premier will glow.
The LED indicator will be red when the unit is receiving power. When the
unit is downloading the LED indicator will blink.
The LED indicator is green when satellite information is being acquired.
The light is orange when no satellites are visible and the unit is unable to
successfully track it’s position. If this occurs on a regular basis you may need to
reposition the antenna.
Upon the initial power up or after extended periods of non use it may take up to
10 minutes to acquire ( LED will turn green) satellites. Once the unit has
acquired, if power is turned off and on the acquisition time will normally be less
than one minute.

The GPS Antenna
Downloading the GPS data to your PC
An GPS antenna is required, and must be connected to the Shadow
Tracker™ Premier for GPS data collection to occur. The antenna can be
positioned on the vehicle by either an internal suction mount or external magnetic
mount. Always place the antenna where the light remains green for
continuous tracking, otherwise mapping and reporting accuracy may decrease.
For best tracking results, it is recommended that you mount the antenna in a
place that has an unobstructed view of the sky.
Attaching a passive GPS antenna will result in damage to this device.
Crimping or cutting the GPS antenna cable may cause damage to the antenna
and the Shadow Tracker™ Premier unit.
This unit does not require removal from the vehicle. The unit will automatically
notify the system server when in range and download it’s GPS information for
you.
