The STU can achieve different qualities of location fix. It reports this quality level by
reporting how many satellites were used in the solution. The more satellites used, the better
the location precision. If six or more satellites are used in the solution, then it will be
accurate to 10 meters 95% of the time. Solutions with less than six satellites may be less
accurate and solutions with only three satellites may have degraded location and/or speed
precision.
STU Reporting Types
The STU will report 5 ways as follows:
1.
Timed report (ever 2 hours when not moving)
2.
Move Begin or Move End messages
3.
Move Timed (default=every 60 min for STU/I and every 15 min for all others).
Can configure up to every 10 minutes.
4.
Sensor Alarms (dependent on if any sensors purchased)
Timed Reports – A message to update the location of the STU and asset to which it
is attached when stationary.
Move Begin Reports – A message to update the location of the STU and to report
that the STU has started moving.
Move End Report – A message to update the location of the STU and to report that
the STU has stopped moving.
Move Timed Report – A message to update the location of the STU while it is
moving.
Sensor Alarms – A message to alert you of a sensor alarm. Messages include:
Impact Alarm, RF Trigger, Digital 1 Alarm, Digital 2 Alarm, Temperature Alarm
