To manually switch the terminal to “Mode 1”, send PW#MODE=2 command. Keep in mind, that if switched
to “Mode 1” manually, the device will keep operating in this mode only. It will not switch to other modes ex-
cept for “Mode 3”, since the terminal always switches to “Mode 3” when the built-in battery charge is depleted
to a critical level.
If iON FM terminal has switched to “Mode 1” from “Main mode”, then power source is irrelevant — be it
built-in battery or external source - since the terminal will follow the same order of switching from one power-
saving mode to another to preserve energy.
“Sleep mode” (Mode 2)
In “Sleep mode”, iON FM terminals ceases to perform most of its functions and all of its electronic periph-
erals, except for motion sensor, is disabled for energy conservation. At set periods of time (set by configurator
or PW#TS2 control command), the terminal wakes up for transmitting LBS coordinates via GPRS channel to
monitoring server. By default, the period is set to 1440 minutes (24 hours). When configuring this interval,
keep in mind, that timeout counter starts for PW#TW1 and PW#TW2 simultaneously, in other words, these in-
tervals are not added up.
“Mode 2” current consumption:
Built-in battery status External power supply voltage
12 V 24 V
Charged Max. 9 mA Max. 5 mA
Discharged Max. 250 mA Max. 130 mA
List of periodically transmitted data in “Mode 2”:
●
location LBS coordinates (no other data is transmitted).
List of data, periodically received from server, in “Mode 2”:
●
user commands.
List of continuously active peripheral modules in “Mode 2”:
●
motion sensor — accelerometer for detecting acceleration during movement and for “waking up”.
List of periodically active peripheral modules in “Mode2”:
●
GMS module — for determining LBS coordinates to transmit them to monitoring server.
The terminal switches to “Sleep mode” only if it is allowed by PW#EN2 command (allowed by default) and
the following 2 conditions are met consecutively:
The terminal is at rest and motion sensor does not detect movement;
Motion timeout, set by control command PW#TW2 (720 minutes by default), has expired.
iON FM remains in “Sleep mode” until one of the following events occurs:
●
motion sensor sends alerts upon movement detection (in this case the terminal switches to “Main
mode”, if this mode has not already been set as operational);
●
built-in battery charge is depleted to a critical level (with external power disabled); the terminal
switches to “Deep Sleep Mode” (“Mode 3”).
To manually switch the terminal to “Mode 2”, send PW#MODE=3 command. Keep in mind, that if switched
