Chapter 3 – Operation
Flight Mode
When industrial trackers leave the factory, they are put into flight mode, where the sensor is hibernating without
functionality to prevent radio activity and minimize battery usage. Devices are delivered in this mode. G-sensor
will not be ready to receive commands though it has not been disabled.
When the device is commanded by a network, the device shall exit shipping mode and enter default mode. If
the device fails to join the network after trying for 32 times, the device will revert to flight mode. Another way to
enter flight mode from normal mode is when the device has not receive ADR ACK for at least 56 hours.
Normal Mode
This mode is active when the device is in normal operating mode. When the device detects a magnetic tap, the
green LED shall flash according to remaining battery voltage. For example, 4 times within 800ms for full
battery, or once if a low battery condition is detected. After motion, the device will turn on GPS acquisition once
it remains at rest for 45 seconds. 3 Position updates then will be sent to the network.
