BOLERO-LT Hardware Description
Version 1.0.6
6.1.2.4 How to use IGN pin ((pin 5)
The IGN-pin has two functions:
✔
It wakes up the system BOLERO-LT from the IGN-sleep mode (when
sleeping),
✔
It can be used to monitor the vehicle ignition state, to report/store the
START and STOP of a trip by using the events
IO.e8=redge
and
IO.e8=fedge
for
START
and
STOP
respectively.
IGN-sleep mode is one of the eight supported energy-saving modes of operation in
which all unnecessary components are shut down. Once the device is awakened by
IGN high signal, it returns to full functionality.
Note that, the IGN pin on the BOLERO-LT is not assumed to switch on the BOLERO-LT
terminal, but to “wake up” the device from IGN-sleep mode.
Using IGN pin you can configure the system to store a specific location or to deliver an
alarm SMS or TCP packet
if an unauthorised person tries to start your vehicle. As an
example, you can trigger the event caused by the status change of the Ignition to start
the vehicle tracking.
NOTE: All BOLERO-LT devices that are shipped by the factory with an internal battery, are entered into
the IGN-sleep mode
.
Therefore, to switch that sleep mode off and take the BOLERO-LT device
back to full functionality, just connect it to the d.c.-power source and then set IGN-pin to High.
