Power modes
The Pickotrack can work with several power modes based upon the customer’s needs.
This allows to save the power consumption as much as possible and to extend the battery runtime.
The available power modes are listed below.
Full
power mode
Microcontroller, mobile service and GNSS modules are always on.
Timer Sleep Mode
The device enters the sleep mode between the timer events (events generated every x minutes,
being x configurable). During sleep mode mobile and GNSS are turned off and microcontroller is in
low power mode. An input can be configured to wake up and stay awake until the input goes to
low again.
Motion Sleep Mode
If the motion sensor detects stationary, the device will switch off GNSS and mobile service modules,
and the micro controller is switched to low power mode. Changes from "stationary" to "moving" will
always wakeup
the system. Then it will stay awake as long as the sensor detects movement. GNSS and mobile
modules are turned on. If the device detects "stationary" for the stationary detection time period,
the device goes into the sleep mode after 60 seconds.
An input can be configured to wake up and stay awake until the input goes to low again.
Endurance Mode
Basically the Endurance Mode is similar to the Timer Sleep mode, combined with the Motion Sleep
Mode. As long as the device is moving, it behaves like in Timer Sleep mode. As soon as it falls to
stationary it wakes up, sends the stationary event (if configured) and falls back to sleep until the
next movement without generating cyclic messages. This sleep in stationary state can be
interrupted by routine or fixed reporting time events.
Basic configuration
The device can be configured via either serial interface or SMS.
In the first case you will need the Cable for Config-Tool Picotrack (Order code 16207) and a serial
terminal program (e.g. Realterm).
In the second case, you will need in the device a SIM supporting SMS (M2M SIMs typically don’t
support them).
Before you insert the SIM card and activate the device, make sure the PIN is disabled or set to 0000.
Otherwise it can happen that the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, and the SIM falls into the PUK
lock.
This would be deactivated again by a mobile phone.
When sending SMS to a device through a mobile phone, the phone number of the latter must be
visible (not hidden), otherwise the device won’t send its reply to the sender.
