Thank you for choosing the Barra Core. Let us assist you in getting a Barra Core online for the first time.

You will get a compact box containing the Barra Core all set-up for you. We provide a sim card and batteries inside the unit ready to go (pre-installed). However, the device is in a 'deep sleep' mode to save the battery life. 

See image below: When you receive your device, the magnet is located underneath the yellow tape. To get your Barra Core online, you will need to remove the magnet. 

1) Remove Magnet for Activation:

For the device to activate / come online, the magnet on the back of the device needs to be removed. By default, this magnet is used for activation mode for the device, and thus if the hall sensor in the device detects the presence of a magnet: the device will not come online.

2) Add to the Tracking Platform

Unless it has already been completed, you will need to add the serial number to the platform. 

3) Install the Device

Mounting and Installation

The Barra Core can be mounted on the asset to be tracked using screws, bolts, cable ties, magnets, or industrial adhesives. When choosing a mounting point, you have two competing goals:

• To minimize the chances of the device being accidentally crushed, dislodged or discovered by a thief. 
• To maximize the WiFi (used for geolocation) and mobile reception and provide adequate ventilation.

    Key Mounting Tips:

• Avoid installing the box completely enclosed in a metal box. 
• Avoid installing in a location that will result in elevated temperatures. For instance, mounting the device in direct sunlight on the dash of a non-ventilated cabin may cook the batteries, leading to an abnormally short service life. 
• Try to orient the device components including the antenna towards the sky where possible (screw heads facing down). 
• If installing in a potentially low signal environment, check the signal strengths reported in the device data.
