IoTPASS User Manual

Overview

This document describes the installation, commissioning and verification procedure for the IoTPASS device as used on an intermodal dry container.

IoTPASS
The IoTPASS is a multi-purpose monitoring and security device. Once installed, the location and movements of the host equipment will be transmitted from the device to Net Feasa’s IoT Device Management Platform – EvenKeel™.
For standard intermodal dry containers, IoTPASS is fitted into the corrugated grooves of the container and clamped onto the locking rod. In addition to location and movement data, any open/close door events, and container fire alarms, are transmitted from the device to Net Feasa’s IoT Device Management Platform – EvenKeel™.
The IoTPASS is powered by a rechargeable battery within the enclosure, which is charged using the solar panels on the front face.

Equipment Included
Each IoTPASS is supplied with a pack containing the following:

• IoTPASS with backplate
• 8mm Nut Driver
• 1 x Tek screws
• 3.5 mm HSS drill bit (for pilot hole)

Tools Required

• Battery drill or impact driver
• Cloth & water – To clean surface of container if necessary

A. Preparation for Installation

Step 1: Prepare the Device
Remove the IoTPASS from its packaging.
If the corrugation is of the shallower container specification, remove the back spacer from the device.
Note: Device is in ‘Shelf Mode’. The device will not report until it has been taken out of shelf mode. To take the device out of shelf mode, remove the 4 pins on the clamp. Rotate the clamp 90° clockwise. Hold for 30 seconds and then return it to its original position. Ensure to put the 4 pins back in place after waking the device from shelf mode.
Step 2: Position the Device
Position the device: The device should be installed within the top corrugation of the right container door, with the clamp fitted onto the inside locking rod.
Inspect the mounting area: Inspect the surface whereupon the IoTPASS is to be installed.
Ensure that there are no major deformations such as dents on the container face.
With a damp cloth, clean the surface upon which the device shall be mounted. Ensure that there is no residue, foreign objects or any other items that may influence the securing of the device.
Step 3: Prepare the installation equipment
Cordless Drill, HSS drill-bit, Tek screw and 8mm nut driver

B. Installation

Step 1: Align the IoTPASS to container face
On the top corrugation, make sure that the back of the IoTPASS is aligned with the inside of the corrugation, then snap the IoTPASS onto the locking rod.
Step 2: Drill into container face
Spin the IoTPASS device into the corrugation of the container. Once the IoTPASS device is in place it can be secured by drilling a pilot hole. Drill directly into the container, ensuring that you are not drilling at an angle. Drill through the container so that there is a hole in the container door.
Step 4: Secure the Device
Fit the supplied 8 mm hex socket head securely into the drill. Install the Tek screw, ensuring that the enclosure is secured well onto the surface of the container, while also ensuring that there is no major damage caused by the screw on the plastic enclosure.
Note: It is very important to remove the 4 pins from the clamp once the device has been secured to the container. If these pins are not removed the device will not be able to detect door events.

C. Commissioning and Verification

Step 1: Commissioning
Using a smartphone, take a picture of the IoTPASS device serial number (on the right-hand side), and a picture of the container showing the container ID, then send an email to support@netfeasa.com. This process is needed so the Net Feasa support team can associate the device with the container and have that image for anyone who logs in to the visualization platform.
Step 2: Verification
Login to the visualization platform with your username and password. If you are unsure, please email support@netfeasa.com or login to the Net Feasa support portal.

Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation Storage

Store in an area where there are no other specific storage hazards. Ensure that the storage area is cool, dry, and well ventilated.
The IoTPASS is packaged in a cardboard box, as seen in the image below. A cardboard box is supplied, with 1x IoTPASS device and supporting installation kit per box. It is wrapped in a Bulbblewrap sleeve. Each IoTPASS is separated by a Styrofoam cushion, to prevent damage.
Do not ship any IoTPASS device in any packaging other than the original packaging.
Shipping in another type of packaging can result in damage to the product, resulting in a void in the warranty.Regulatory Information
For regulatory identification purposes, the product is assigned a model number of N743.
Marking labels located on the exterior of your device indicate the regulations that your model complies with. Please check the marking labels on your device and refer to the corresponding statements in this chapter. Some notices apply to specific models only.
