Remotes Automatically Enter Deep Sleep
In the event the Gateway is powered off for more than 1 week, the Remotes will
automatically enter Deep Sleep.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to recognize that the Gateway does not know that the
Remotes entered Deep Sleep. Because of this, the Gateway will likely
indicate a fault condition at power up because the Remotes will not be
reporting in as expected.
Operation While in Deep Sleep
While in Deep Sleep, the following behavior will be exhibited:
Remotes will not respond to changes in the sensor inputs.
CRITICAL:
Because Remotes will not respond to changes in sensor inputs until
communication with the Gateway is re-established, it is imperative that the
equipment being protected not be allowed to run until the Gateway
indicates that they system is fully operational and the Form-C relay output
is con
nected between „COM & NC‟
Remotes will send heartbeats much less frequently in order to conserve battery life.
Wakeup from Deep Sleep
IMPORTANT:
Because the Remotes are sending a wakeup command less frequently
than during normal heartbeat operation, it can take up to ten minutes for
the Gateway to register all remotes in the network after coming out of
Deep Sleep mode.
IMPORTANT:
When the Gateway is powered up after being in Deep Sleep, the Form-C
relay output will be connected between „COM & NO‟ until the system is
fully operational.
