To start the Web portal, you will need

• The serial number of your box
• Your personal registration code

Further information about the registration process is provided in your Quick Start Guide. This is included as part of the scope of delivery.

• Address book: add an e-mail address or mobile number
• Message editor: create individual messages when a rule is triggered. For example, “Leave position boundary”, “Hall was abandoned SMS” etc.
• Map & Geofence: Define an area in which the vehicle may or may not be allowed to stop.
• Rules: Here you can add messages and position boundaries (geofences) to your individual rule.
  • Aktorports: Here you can determine how many electronic signals in mechanical movement eg
  • Limitations: In addition to position limits (geofences), time or sensor limits (eg vibration sensor as theft protection) can be included in the evaluation.
• Device overview: Add one or more devices to your account.
• Links : In the final step, add your created rules to the associated devices

Dashboard
Right after you log in, the Dashboard shows you everything at a glance. It’s a quick overview of your devices with alerts and error messages, such as when the battery is low or a device has left its assigned location.

Device Overview
The device overview shows all assigned or logged-in devices. Newly purchased devices can be added and configured. Here are the transmission intervals, the current time zones set. The actuators can also be switched manually here. Status messages of the device, battery level, reception quality and the rules assigned to the device are displayed.

Map and Geofence
All vehicles and boundaries (Geofence) as well as the property boundaries of the shapefiles are displayed in a map. Position limits can be created including area calculation. A history of movement can be viewed, as well as speeds Altitude travel / travel times.

Address Book
In the address book, you can add your email addresses and mobile number to receive notifications.

Rules
The rules set out when to contact CERES Protec and which ones Rules with certain devices should be linked.

Message Editor
With the message editor you can configure individual messages, which CERES Protect should send to you.

Tutorials
If you do not get along. Tutorials guide you through CERES Protect and help you with the configuration of your individual parameters.

Support
You can not get further. Here you can look up the installation and operating instructions of CERES Protect vehicle management and theft protection or send a message to the support.

Communication between the client and CERES protect server is encrypted according to the newest TLS standard (formerly SSL).

All devices communicate with CERES Protect via the IOT Standard Mqtt, which implements unique authentication measures for each device.

Your data are encrypted millions of times using a secret hashing algorithm, making it illegible to us and to third parties, with the exception of the individual with login information. None of your data ever leaves our infrastructure, and is stored on German servers. No third party services are used that require the provision of customer-specific data.

Both the CERES Protect Web portal and devices were developed in-house by Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH. Third party access to data is prevented by implementing the newest security standards and through our own security mechanisms.

• Install the box with magnet or tape, depending on the model
• Determine the position of the vehicle or machine.
• Secure data transmission with the fastest network.
• Registration on the Web portal

The GPS receiver uses EGNOS correction signals, and can achieve a precision of 1 to 3 meters with sufficient satellite reception. Since the receiver works with even a minimal number of satellites, which is necessary in machine shops, for instance, deviations may increase to approx. 100 meters. This is not a system error, but rather reflects the poor reception of the satellite signal.

The SIM card installed in the Ceres Protect Box is designed to work on a specific mobile network, e.g. the box automatically selects the right national network. In general, it can be used in Europe, the USA and Turkey. This allows you to track and secure your vehicle even from abroad.

Check the countries and mobile networks in which CERES Protect can be used.

It can be installed inside or outside the vehicle, since the electronics are protected against water spray. The integrated GPS receiver should have the clearest view possible to the sky, and should not be shielded by any sheet metal. The better the view, the more precise the determined position will be.

The Quick Start Guide explains what you need to know for the installation, step by step. If you have any further questions, our support team will be happy to help.

To extend the battery life of the GPS device, you can connect the device to a permanent power source, such as to the vehicle’s ignition voltage, or you can reduce the transmission intervals, for instance if the vehicle is at a standstill.

You could

• disable a vehicle remotely or
• switch other electronic devices on and off.
  • g. start/stop watering
• or use specialized agricultural sensors to check
  • temperature,
  • soil moisture,
  • humidity,
  • rain,
  • wind,
  • fill level sensors,
  • voltage monitoring (such as pasture fencing).

If you are interested in specialized sensors, please write us an e-mail at support@ceresprotect.de. We will review your request quickly to see if we can implement your specific needs, then send you an offer.

To connect the Box to the CAN Bus of your vehicle, you must connect the cable according to the following instructions. See Quick Start Guide – Step 1: Assembly (activate additional functions).

• Depending on the module: 306 € or 406 € (one time)
• Wireless contract: from 5.90 € (per month)
• Text message function optional: from 3.90 € (per month)

Purchase a CERES Protect Box for a one-time fee, depending on model, or 339 EUR or 406 EUR.

To use the tracking device with the SIM module, you will need a wireless contract, regulated by the Ilgenfritz Mechatronics GmbH. This allows you to transfer location data to an Ilgenfritz Mechatronics server from third party providers via mobile networks. You can use your location data on this server through the Web portal set up for this purpose under customer login.

Reference to the GTCs

The wireless contract has a minimum term of 12 months (cf. 9 GTC). A monthly base fee of 5.90 EUR is charged for use of the services (cf. 7.1 GTC). If you do not need a device for a certain period, you can pause the contract term for a maximum of 6 months per device, per contractual year. A reduced fee of just 1.99 EUR will be charged (cf. 7.6 GTC).

You can change your options free of charge at the end of the month any time during the term of your wireless contract (cf. 7.4 and 7.6 GTC).

Determine the best transmission interval and the right rate for you by answering the following questions:

(A) Do you need lane-specific tracking? If so, then you will need a higher transmission interval frequency.

(B) Do you need theft protection? If so, lower transmission interval frequencies may be sufficient for your tracking needs.

Alarm notification

As a standard feature, you will receive the alarm notifications you configure from your device via e-mail. Example alarm notifications:

• Vehicle is moving outside of the defined geographic region (geozone)
• Device reports shocks, low battery level, power outage, motor ignition

Text message function optional

In addition, you have the option of receiving alarm notifications on your cell phone or smartphone by text message. The advantage of this feature is that you can receive a text message anywhere and any time, as long as you have reception, in contrast to e-mail, which requires a stable internet connection. In addition, you do not need a smartphone to receive text messages. Instead, any mobile phone can receive text alarm messages. This is why we offer the text message option with attractive conditions.
