The mobile mounts and the optional mobile communication adapters (MCA) that are
equipped with the “Green-Engineering” circuitry automatically power down the MCA
when the vehicle’s ignition is turned off, only after all data upload processes have been
completed. This feature allows the vehicle to be parked and left unattended for long periods
of time without concern for depleting the vehicle’s battery.
This feature allows a vehicle equipped with these devices to automatically upload leakage
data to the LAW server via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or Cellular connection while parked and left
unattended. Upon completion of the data upload (or after a user-programmed number of
attempts to upload data), the MCA will automatically power down. The MCA will also stay
on for a selectable time period to avoid any “cold start” delay required by the GPS receiver
after a power down (based on the vehicle timer setting).
Vehicle Battery Protection
The following devices feature battery protection circuitry and are identified with a “Green
Engineering” logo on the device.
• Seeker Mobile Mount (see note)
• Seeker MCA (see note)
• Seeker BB-2 (see note)
• Seeker D Mobile Mount
• Seeker MCA III
Common leakage areas are around the tap, drop cable, and
any connection of the cable to other devices.
“Green Engineering” Mobile Mounts are compatible only with
“Green Engineering” Seeker MCA units. Do not attempt to use
an MCA with a Mobile Mount unless both devices feature the
“Green Engineering” logo.
Some early Seeker Mobile Mounts, MCA & BB-2 MCA units did
not include this feature, look for the “Green Engineering” logo
on the device.
