Presentation of the OTM-GSM v2
The OTM-GSMv2 is a fully energy-autonomous GPS tracker for equipment. It retrieves the GPS position and
the activity of the equipment on which it is installed, whether it is in motion or stationary, and then transmits
the data via the cellular network to the Localeez visualization and configuration platform.

This product has been designed to track non-motorized assets while ensuring autonomy tailored to our clients'
needs. Below, you will find detailed information about its autonomy based on usage.
These lifespan estimates are theoretical and were obtained under normal usage conditions in a controlled
environment, with temperatures ranging from 64.4°F to 77°F. Please note that environmental conditions,
particularly temperature (weather, heat waves, cold snaps), may affect the lifespan. Moreover, the lifespan is
directly related to the frequency of use. More frequent usage will reduce battery life, as shown in the graphs
below.

This estimate is also theoretical and relies on a sufficient density of FAMAs in the environment to achieve at
least 50% communication via the FAMAs.

Commissioning procedure
4.1. System activation
To activate the system, an activator must be placed in the dedicated area on the bottom side of the OTM-
GSM v2 for 2 seconds (see Table 2). To confirm activation, the green LED will light up for 100 ms, and the
module will be visible on LHC mobile for 10 seconds. After waking up, regardless of the OTM's state, simply
hold the magnet in front of the device for 2 seconds to make it visible on LHC Mobile. This then allows it to be
available for configuration.
Table 2 : Location of the magnet
4.2. LED Operation
The OTM GSM is equipped with an LED that provides information about its operation during installation.
There is a GUI parameter that allows the activation of the LED operation on the OTM. Enabling this UI mode
is done via remote configuration using LHCM or LHC GSM. By default, the LED is disabled
When the UI option is enabled: The LED blinks for 10 ms every 3 seconds when it is not in standby mode to
indicate that it is alive."
• As long as the LED is blinking, it means the OTM has not completed the operations it needs to carry
out (fixing, transmitting data, etc.).
When the UI option is disabled: The LED no longer blinks when the OTM is active.
• However, even if the UI is disabled, the LED will light up during a power reset (battery connection) or
when exiting standby mode forced by the magnet.
To activate this option, please contact Adveez support.

4.3. Add equipment on Localeez
1. Click on the "+Add" button to add a new GSE.
2. Enter the GSE information (name, division, make & model, energy, ...).
3. Select OTM-GSM in "EQUIPMENT".
4. Enter the serial number of the OTM-GSM.
5. Click on "ADD".
The following steps detail all the settings of the equipment. On Localeez, in the gses tab, then in the
configuration section.

4.4. INFORMATIONS
- Date time: Gives the internal date and time of the OTM-GSM, date of configuration request.
- Battery level: Gives the internal battery charge level of the OTM-GSM (0% to 100%).
4.5. BASIC SETTINGS
- Name: Allows to change the name of the OTM-GSM. Usually, the name of the OTM-GSM is the ID
of the GSE. Note, this is the name that will appear on LHC Mobile.
ADD-I-050-03d_Installation_Guide_OTM-GSMv2 - Customer.docx
Page 8/13
4.6. ADVANCED SETTINGS
- Tracking mode: Enables or disables tracking mode.
⚠: Enabling tracking mode on an OTM-GSM decreases its battery life
4.7. DIAGNOSTICS
- Number of reset: Indicates the number of times the OTM GSM v2 has been reset.
- Number of use: Indicates the number of uses since the beginning of its life.
- Number of hours: Indicates the number of hours (hours in use) since the beginning of its life.

Installation recommendations
Note: Incorrect positioning of the module on the GSE can have impacts on GPS and long-distance
communication. Thus, during its installation, the product must comply with one of the first 2 orientations
contained in Table 4.
Table 3 : Installation Recommendation
Fleets equipped with FAMAs and OTMs may have other installation recommendations. A BLE link between
OTMs and FAMAs has been developed to enable the OTM to save battery power; using the FAMA as a long-
distance transmitter, the OTM only needs to communicate information to the FAMA in BLE.
The OTM must therefore be oriented toward the direction of the FAMA and installed face up, with unobstructed
line of sight to the sky. Here are some examples. The transmitter (in red) is located at the vent of the device.
The transmitter points towards the vehicle where the FAMA is installed as shown in the image below.
Note: the vent is the 4 small square holes next to the label on the device

5.2. Test
1. To begin, the icon of the GSE equipped with the OTM-GSM v2 must be green. This means that the
OTM-GSM v2 is stationary, and its position on the Localeez map should match its location at the
ADD-I-050-03d_Installation_Guide_OTM-GSMv2 - Customer.docx
Page 12/13
airport. It is sometimes necessary to perform several movements (waiting 2 minutes between each
movement) to allow the OTM-GSM v2 to lock onto GPS satellites.
2. When the GSE is in motion, the icon turns red. (Note, when mounting the OTM-GSM v2 on the GSE,
motion detection may occur, so please wait 10 minutes before making a new movement). It is
recommended to wait 15 minutes to allow the GPS to acquire its first position. This delay includes a
waiting time of up to 3 minutes to obtain the first position and ensure the GNSS data is updated for
subsequent positions
3. When the GSE is no longer in motion, the icon turns green again, and it becomes available once more.

5.3. Configuration
To optimize lifespan according to the use case, configurations affecting autonomy and operation are not
available. Configuration changes must be requested from Adveez support.
