Trackunit Kin
Trackunit KIN, Technical Manual v1.0, November 2020
Page 14
Configuration
The following can be configured on the device:
Advertisement Interval, from 1 to 120 seconds in steps of seconds
Tx Power (conducted), from -3dBm to 6dBm in steps of 0.1dBm (Antenna gain not
included)
Activity Measurement Period, following the Advertisement Interval
Activity Threshold will be included in Rev. 0.6 of the document
Configuration is only allowed after a successful challenge/response exchange, to ensure access
for trusted users only. For security reasons only one connection is allowed at a time and unused
connections will timeout and terminate.
Movement Detection (Advanced Sensors)
Trackunit Kin is reporting two movement related parameters when advertising. Note that these
historical data are stored on Trackunit Kin, so therefore no requirement for continuous monitoring
of Tag advertisement from external devices, i.e. Trackunit RAW (TU600-5) or Trackunit Mobile
Apps, to have valid information available.
Total Movement. Reporting total amount of seconds Trackunit Kin has been moving. This
value can be used to e.g. determine utilization of the asset to which the Tag have been
attached.
Last Movement. Reporting time since last movement detected, measured in seconds. This
value can be used to e.g. determine if the unit is on the move and therefore require special
treatment when it comes to location tracking. In addition, this value could be used for a
primitive proximity detection mechanism.
The threshold for move/not-move have been set after multiple tries in real environment, but if the
installation requires this threshold to be adjusted it can be done by connecting to Trackunit Kin and
then modify the configuration.
Sensor Specifications.
Measurement interval is following advertisement interval.
Threshold set to 100mG in average acceleration during 3 sec.
Functionality check
Check reporting in the Trackunit locator APP. If the report stamp is updated the Trackunit Kin is
operational.
