6.1 Operating Notes
The Bluetooth connection is available for at least 10
minutes upon initial power-up of the device with the
magnet removed.
Each Bluetooth command sent to the device resets the
Bluetooth timeout period extending the connection time.
The Bluetooth connection is shut down after the
connection time expires to conserve power.
To re-activate the Bluetooth connection, the power
source must be removed and re-attached. It is important
to leave the power source disconnected for at least 2
minutes before reconnecting to ensure a fresh power-up
sequence otherwise the Bluetooth connection may not
be enabled.
The default configuration GPS interval is 5 minutes with
a transmission occurring at every interval. This is a rapid
reporting behavior that is useful during testing and
initial deployment.
Re-configuration using the local Bluetooth connection or
MetOcean LiNC Web-based platform Over-The-Air
interface is recommended to extend mission life.
The iBCN starts in a “Test Mode” upon initial power-up
that will transmit GPS location every 5 minutes for 1
hour regardless of the pre-configured intervals.
After “Test Mode” expires, the iBCN will continue to
operate based on the pre-configured intervals.
