Enhanced Features
U sers can poll the unit in real time to request the current location of the AssetTrac™ on-
demand or receive a regularly scheduled report. For example, if you would like to keep
costs down, the unit can be configured to periodically log, but not report, its current
position. The user can also poll the device and it will compute a new position on-demand,
or, if it has not moved since the last position was logged, it will immediately return its
most recently logged position. Polling mode must be active to call the unit, while in
polling mode the battery life will be shortened greatly. Alternately, it can be
programmed to report on a regular daily or weekly schedule.
The
AssetTrac™ can operate for approximately one week on a set of four AA batteries
during normal use with good GPS visibility. These easy-to-access batteries provide
simple and low-cost maintenance and operation.
The
AssetTrac™ unit comes with the ability to gauge the battery level remaining in four
AA batteries. This information is normally displayed as a percentage, 100% is full power
and 0% for zero power.
Note: Battery life can be greatly affected by the surrounding temperatures. Battery life
decreases as the surrounding temperature decreases.
