3.1 POWER MANAGEMENT HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW
The Power UAPI is responsible for handling the different power states of the UAPI and switching between them. The power
states are based on configurable battery voltage thresholds. This module also handles the required action before moving into a
powered down state.
Power States
There are five different power states that have different limitations on them to control the amount of power of the module:
• Normal: The device runs as normal with no restrictions.
• Factory: Same as normal, but if no solar input is detected for four hours, the device goes into the Full Off state. This is the
default state of the device when the factory configuration is on the device. Once the user updates the configuration, this
mode is inaccessible.
• Partial Suspend: The device is limited on the frequency of track messages it can send to reduce power consumption.
• Full Suspend: The device cannot send any track messages.
• Full Off: The device sends a command to the fuel gauge to fully disconnect the ST150 module from power. Only light on the
solar panel can wake the device up from this state.
Default Thresholds for Different Power States
• Partial Suspend: 3.5V
• Full Suspend: 3.1V
• Full Off: 2.7V
• HW Protection Cutoff: 2.6V
To set different thresholds via AT command details refer UAPI document Section 21.5
