Rover-X Timer Modes
Normal Mode (Timer 0)
Timer zero is the default timer mode of the Rover-X and will be used if no other modes below
apply. At default settings, the Rover-X will transmit one position every three hours. The Rover-X
will continue in normal mode uninterrupted until some event prompts another mode, or the
device is turned off.
Start-up Mode (Timer 1)
Start-up
mode will begin when the Rover-X is powered on or reset via any method. This mode
will last for a maximum of one hour, but can be interrupted by another mode (ex. Inverted).
Inverted Mode (Timer 2)
Inverted mode begins after the Rover-X has read three consecutive tilt values that cross the
horizontal threshold of the device. The Rover-X then transmits two positions every ten minutes
until the tilt sensor is disabled or the device is no longer inverted.
Low Battery Mode (Timer 3)
The Rover-X will enter Low Battery mode if
a string of nine batteries’
voltage drops below the
set threshold. This is triggered by consecutive voltages less than the threshold. This threshold
can also be adjusted but has a default value:
Rover-X
11.5 VDC
Watch Circle Alarm Mode (Timer 4)
A new timer mode not used in the original Rover, the Rover-X will utilize this timer if a
, and the Rover-X collects a position that places it outside of that circle. The Rover-X
will transmit at the rate given for this mode for at least one hour, and any additional time until
the point at which the device re-enters the circle, the circle is edited to place the device inside
again, or the circle is deleted (
$clearcircle
).
