1.1 General 

This description is focused on the GSM/GPRS and GPS terminal BOLERO-LT from 

FALCOM GmbH. It contains a variety of information about hardware concepts and 

issues of the BOLERO-LT device. 

In order quickly to start and immediately and comprehensive to use all functions 

and to avoid any mistakes of BOLERO-LT device on your utilization, we recommend 

to read the following references and suggestions for using your new BOLERO-LT 

device. 

BOLERO-LT consists of a Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that works on the four 

frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, a 20 channel GPS receiver based on 

SiRFstarIII engine and an embedded configurable software that provides locationbased 

applications. The new device can be easily integrated into a variety of new 

applications stretching from real-time navigation and positioning to remote 

tracking and monitoring. It is designed for indoor use and ideal for fixed installation. 

The device concept is targeting for direct implementation as a mobile client in a 

wide range of high volume, low-cost, flexible system solutions like AVL, fleet 

management, vehicle security and recovery and other related area. The tracking 

functionality of the embedded mobile client application is combined with variety 

of alert messaging capabilities. The configurable alert messages contain current 

position and status report. It uses 1 digital input for monitoring the ignition key of 

your vehicle as well as 1 line for use either as input or output. Depending on how 

the system BOLERO-LT is set up, the I/O line can be supplied as digital output 

allowing remote control of external actuators. In addition to that two predefined 

digital inputs are detecting ignition line and main power (car battery) failure, and 

so you may handle these events and use as notification. 

By default, BOLERO-LT is offered without internal battery. Shall you need a BOLERO- 

LT device with an internal battery, please see “Ordering Guide” and choose one 

that meets your specific requirements. The housing of the new BOLERO-LT device 

offers IP65 protection (with protection rubber) and can be operated at ambient 

temperatures up to +85°C. 

The embedded software the embedded software can be controlled by word like 

“PFAL” commands needed for executing particular actions, reading or setting 

particular configurations into the device. These commands are valid for all kinds of 

operations including SMS, CSD, TCP and SMTP. 

BOLERO-LT provides Geofence features for territory management, route 

verification, prohibited locations, parking area and more with exception reporting 

to a wide variety of events, such as arrivals, departures, deliveries, pick-ups, illegal 


Page 6


entries, unauthorized movement, etc. BOLERO-LT contains a data-logger that 

enables it to archive unique locations in sequence for up to 45 days for later 

analysis and evaluation (for example, archive interval up to 20 sec.). 

The physical interface to the terminal application is made through a 6-pin 

connector. It provides a serial interface giving you maximum flexibility for local use 

such as controlling the terminal, receiving GPS location data, transferring data.

2 SECURITY 

IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, 

READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE! 

Your cellular engine BOLERO-LT is one of the most exciting and innovative 

electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your 

office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever service is 

provided. 

This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the 

BOLERO-LT. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular 

engine BOLERO-LT. 

2.1 General information 

Your BOLERO-LT device utilizes the GSM/GPRS/GPS standard for cellular 

technology. GSM/GPRS is a newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the 

current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for 

decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European 

community and elsewhere. Your modem is actually a low power radio 

transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. 

When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls 

both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem. 

For the use of the acquired devices SIM cards are needed, which are not 

included in the scope of delivery of the device. The SIM cards can be 

acquired e.g. by specific providers. From the use of the SIM cards can result 

additional costs, which are to be borne by the purchaser (client) of the 

devices. The seller does not cover the extra costs for the use of the devices. 

The seller gives no recommendation for the use of specific SIM cards and does 

not liable also for the fact that the devices are usable with all available SIM 

cards. The seller also covers no other costs, that are needed for the application 

of the customer in connection with this device. 

2.2 Exposure to RF energy 

There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a 

GSM modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused 

for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research 

regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had 

been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had 

been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for use. 

If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there are things you can do 

to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce 

your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by 

operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below. 


Page 11


2.3 Efficient modem operation 

In order to operate your modem at the lowest power level, consistent with 

satisfactory call quality please take note of the following hints. 

If your modem has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow 

you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your modem 

operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended. 

Do not hold the antenna when the modem is „IN USE“. Holding the antenna 

affects call quality and may cause the modem to operate at a higher power 

level than needed. 

2.4 Driving 

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where 

you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your modem while driving, 

please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or 

answering a call if driving conditions so require. When applications are 

prepared for mobile use they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current 

law! 

2.5 Electronic devices 

Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is 

shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning 

or improperly shielded electronic equipment. 

2.6 Vehicle electronic equipment 

Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on 

board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy. 

2.7 Medical electronic equipment 

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as 

pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded 

from external RF energy. 

Turn your BOLERO-LT device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations 

posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may 

be using RF monitoring equipment. 

2.8 Aircraft 

Turn your BOLERO-LT OFF before boarding any aircraft. 

Use it on the ground only with crew permission. 

Do not use it in the air. 

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew 

member to use your modem while the plane is on the ground. To prevent 


Page 12


interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your 

modem whilst airborne. 

2.9 Children 

Do not allow children to play with your BOLERO-LT device. It is not a toy. 

Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the 

eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modem or 

make calls that increase your modem bills. 

2.10 Blasting areas 

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a 

“blasting area” or in areas posted: „turn off two-way radio“. Construction crew 

often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. 

2.11 Potentially explosive atmospheres 

Turn your BOLERO-LT device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive 

atmosphere. It is rare, but your modem or its accessories could generate sparks. 

Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or 

even death. 

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly 

marked. They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on 

boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air 

contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. 

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the 

compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories. 

Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas 

(such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant 

fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used. 

2.12 Non-ionizing radiation 

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment users are advised that for 

satisfactory operation and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that 

no part of the human body is allowed to come too close to the antenna during 

operation of the equipment. The radio equipment shall be connected to the 

antenna via a non-radiating 50 Ohm coaxial cable. The antenna shall be 

mounted in such a position that no part of the human body will normally rest 

close to any part of the antenna. It is also recommended to use the equipment 

not close to medical devices as for example hearing aids and pacemakers.

5 BOLERO-LT APPLICATION INTERFACE 

5.1 Power supply 

The power supply for the BOLERO-LT terminal has to be a single voltage source 

within the range V+IN = +10.8 V...+35.0VDC. It must be able to provide sufficient 

current. The operating voltage (V+IN and GND) is protected from reverse pole 

connection and against voltage spikes, but not against over voltage. 

NOTE: Operating voltage range must never be exceeded; care must be taken in 

order to fulfill min/max voltage requirements. 

5.1.1 Power supply pins (3 and 4) on the 6-pin connector 

The +IN pin on the 6-pin connector is dedicated to connect the supply voltage, 

GND pin is for grounding. The +IN and GND pins serve for charging the internal 

battery (if available) and powering the BOLERO-LT device. The power supply for 

the BOLERO-LT is capable of utilizing current ranging from V+IN = +10.8 V ... 

+35.0VDC designed for automotive application. 

Signal name I/O Parameter Description 

+IN I +10.8 V...+35.0VDC. The 

operating voltage must 

never be exceeded. 

GND - 0 V Ground 

5.1.2 Automatic shutdown 

Automatic shutdown takes effect if: 

Positive operating voltage. 

For security reason, it is recommended to integrate 

externally a 2A fuse link between interconnection plug (6pin 

connector) and d.c.-power source (see Fig 19). 

• under voltage is detected when battery level (if available) runs low 

and no external power supply connected. 

The automatic shutdown procedure is equivalent to the power-down initiated, 

i.e. BOLERO-LT logs off from the network and the software enters a secure state 

avoiding loss of data. 

5.2 Determining the External Equipment Type 

Before you connect the serial port pins on the aforementioned terminals (DCE 

units) to external equipment, you need to determine if the external hardware 

serial ports are configured as DTE or DCE. The FALCOM BOLERO-LT is designed 

for use as a DCE. Based on the aforementioned conventions for DCE-DTE 

connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the 

following signals:

6.1.2 Special pin description 

For the IO lines that can work as input or output the corresponding output of this pin 

has to be set to high (with PFAL command “$PFAL,IO4.Set=high”), otherwise 0V will be 

measured (and the device could be damaged). 

6.1.2.1 Analog input (6) 

Analog voltage up to 35.0 V with 10 bit resolution can be processed and 

remotely evaluated by a server application. Pull-up resistor to a constant input 

voltage allows for resistive transducers to ground, e.g. fuel sensor or thermistors. 

Because the pin 6 can operate either as digital or analog, it has to be 

configured and calibrated for such purposes before using. 

To use these IOs as analog inputs, the following configuration is required in the 

software. 

PFAL,IO0.Config=AI,2,11 

PFAL,IO0.Config=DI,3,6 

where 0 is the index corresponding to IO1 (pin 6). The strings AI and DI are identifiers 

for analog and digital input respectively. While the value after strings e.g. 3 and 6 are 

min. and max. voltages that will be used to generate Low and High events respectively. 

Detailed information can be found in software manual 

“steppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf“. 

6.1.2.1.1Connection example using IO1 as analog inputs: 

This pin can be connected to a temperature sensor (a NTC resistor for instance). 

Therefore, you can set a low and high temperature alarm. Passage through 

these thresholds will trigger an alarm. As alarm type you can use an SMS or a 

TCP with GPIOP as attachment protocol. The SMS contents can be sent to a 

mobile phone. An application example is shown in figure below: 

Figure 5: Connection example for analog input (IO1) 

This circuit example is only an illustration to show the aim of the analog input. 


Page 22


6.1.2.2 Digital Input (pin 6) 

This pin is a high active when is used as digital input, so you can set VIN(LOW) and 

VIN(HIGH) to any levels within the range from +0 to +35.0 VDC. The High and Low 

levels have to be set by using the PFAL command (e.g. PFAL,IO0.Config=DI,3,6) - 

where 0 is the index corresponding to IO1 (pin 6). While the value 3 and 6 are min. and 

max. voltages that will be used to generate Low and High events respectively. 

Detailed information can be found in software manual 

“steppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf“. 

The figure below illustrates how to connect these pins and use them as digital 

inputs. When an input is activated, BOLERO-LT can release an alarm (for 

instance a SMS, TCP or GSM data connection). The alarm type and the alarm 

text are user dependent. These inputs can be configured by using the 

“steppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf” manual. Both inputs 

can be connected as shown below: 

Figure 6: Connection example for digital input (IO1) 

A completed circuit example for all inputs is attached in section 8.1.1. 


Page 23


6.1.2.3 Output (pin 6) 

Pin 6 can also operate as a digital output. It is an open collector output. It can 

be directly connected via resistors (R) to LEDs, Relays etc., which need no more than 

100 mA @ up to + 35.0 V DC. The figure below show the schematic of possible output 

connections. To use and activate this output use the command 

$PFAL,IO4.Set=high[low,hpulse,lpulse,cyclic] for IO1 or you can configure an alarm that 

activate this output when an specific event occur (e.g. 

PFAL,Cnf.Set,AL0=IO.e8=redge:IO4.Set=cyclic,1000,2000). In order to evaluate this alarm, 

firstly send this configuration to the BOLERO-LT device and then trigger IGN-pin to High – 

as result the IO1 goes High for 1 sec and Low for 2 sec. To set IO1 to Low, just execute 

the command PFAL,IO4.Set=Low. For more details how to activate an output and 

how to configure an alarm, refer to the manual 

““steppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf“. Please note that, 

no power should be applied directly to an output pin without having e.g. a 

resistor between output pin and power source.

6.1.2.4 How to use IGN pin ((pin 5) 

The IGN-pin has two functions: 

✔ It wakes up the system BOLERO-LT from the IGN-sleep mode (when 

sleeping), 

✔ It can be used to monitor the vehicle ignition state, to report/store the 

START and STOP of a trip by using the events IO.e8=redge and IO.e8=fedge 

for START and STOP respectively. 

IGN-sleep mode is one of the eight supported energy-saving modes of operation in 

which all unnecessary components are shut down. Once the device is awakened by 

IGN high signal, it returns to full functionality. 

Note that, the IGN pin on the BOLERO-LT is not assumed to switch on the 

BOLERO-LT terminal, but to “wake up” the device from IGN-sleep mode. 

Using IGN pin you can configure the system to store a specific location or to deliver an 

alarm SMS or TCP packet if an unauthorised person tries to start your vehicle. As an 

example, you can trigger the event caused by the status change of the Ignition to start 

the vehicle tracking. 

NOTE: All BOLERO-LT devices that are shipped by the factory with an internal battery, are entered into 

the IGN-sleep mode. Therefore, to switch that sleep mode off and take the BOLERO-LT device 

back to full functionality, just connect it to the d.c.-power source and then set IGN-pin to High. 

Figure 9: Vehicle ignition monitoring by IGN line

6.1.3 Buttons & LEDs 

BOLERO-LT comes with 1 x free-programmable push-button (connected to the 

DiWu-pin known in the STEPPIII) and 3 x free-programmable LED indicators that 

can be used to indicate the status of different components in the the unit. The 

"On/Off" button generates (IO.e9=redge) event which can be used to power on 

the unit. However, you have the possibility to configure this button depending 

on what configuration is most important for you. 

Figure 11: On/Off button 

All LED indicators are accessible with PFAL commands and they can be 

interfaced to different components in the device to show their state. The mode 

and functionality of these LEDs are software controlled feature. References how 

to customize the device configuration, are available in the BOLERO-LT software 

manual “steppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf”.

6.1.4 SIM card interface 

The figure below shows the SIM card reader interface of the BOLERO-LT. 

Figure 13: View of the SIM card interface 

The SIM interface controls small 1.8/3 V SIM cards. This interface is fully 

compliant with GSM 11.11 recommendations concerning SIM functions. 

Note: The SIM should not be removed, while the unit is powered on. The SIM must 

only be removed when the BOLERO-LT is shut down. To remove the SIM 

card, press the Eject button (see figure 6) then pull out the SIM card-holder. 

6.1.5 Special pin description 

6.1.5.1 Serial communication signals (RxA, TxA ) 

The board supports one full duplex serial channel. All supported variable baud 

rates can be controlled from internal software. You can directly communicate 

with a PC serial port. It is recommended to use the BOLERO-LT Evalboard in 

order to communicate with the terminal. 

RS232 Level 

Serial interface (RxA, TxA) operates at V24, ±12 V level. You do not need to 

use any level shifter for this serial port. The signals on these pins are obtained 

to RS232 compatible signal levels. 

RxA This is the main receiving channel and is used to 

receive software commands to the board from any 

terminal software (e.g. HyperTerminal) or from user 

written software. Firmware package can be sent 

through this line. 

TxA This is the main transmitting channel and is used to 

output navigation and measurement data to any 

terminal software (e.g. HyperTerminal) or user written 

software.

6.2 Mounting the BOLERO-LT device 

The mounting location is very important, because it can affect the GPS 

reception quality. Consider that the GPS receiving site of the unit is with the back 

viewing towards the sky. 

The double-side adhesive mounting plate included in the pack allows you to 

mount the unit BOLERO-LT somewhere on flat surfaces. When you have found a 

suitable place, make sure the mounting location provides an unobstructed lineof-sight 

and its surface is free of dirt and oil. Also clean the BOLERO-LT’s back 

side. Remove one of the adhesive pad's yellow paper and attach it to the 

device’s back side, then remove another one and attach the device back to 

the mounting location. Press the BOLERO-LT unit to avoid air bubbles. 

To assure maximum visibility of the satellites that provide positioning data: 

✔ Mount the BOLERO-LT device on flat surfaces with the back facing 

towards the sky and relatively free of obstructions. 

✔ For a proper reception of GPS signals, orient the unit at an angle from 

0 to 60 degrees relative to the horizon (see fig. 14). 

✔ Additionally, the mounting location must also be chosen far enough 

from electronic devices so that no interference takes place. Please, 

contact your vehicle supplier for more information. 

✔ Failure to follow this installation instructions provided here, when 

installing this unit, can seriously degrade the performance of a GPS 

system . 

Figure 14: Installation area relative to the horizontal level 

All radio-transmitting devices send signals, which may cause interference in 

different electronic devices (PC, television or electronic devices etc.). To avoid 

interference, place the terminal far enough from other electronic devices.

8 APPENDIX 

8.1 Schematics 

The figure below illustrates a common schematic when you use the BOLERO-LT 

hardware for vehicle security. For detailed information, please, refer to the 

related documents [AppNotes_in_vehicle_mounting.pdf]. 

8.1.1 Installation guidance for 6-pin connector 

On the top-right of the schematic you can find the corresponding pin out of the 

6-pin connector. 

1 x Power supply (+IN) : Connect to the vehicle battery (clamp 30). 

1 x Ignition line (IGN) : Connect to the vehicle starter lock (clamp 15) 

and use it for triggering alarms whenever the 

vehicle ignition key is closed (engine started). Or 

connect it to the operating voltage (+IN) to use 

the IGN-Sleep mode (see also Fig. 10.1) 

The schematic below represents how these lines can be used. 

The operating voltage range MUST never be exceeded. For security reason, it is 

recommended to integrate externally a 2A fuse link between the positive wire of 

the BOLERO-LT (+IN) and d.c. - power source. 

Please note that, the ground pin of the BOLERO-LT should be isolated from 

the vehicle body to avoid ground loops.
