What are the technical states of Van or Telematics Gateway?

  • Updated

The four key states Van or Telematics Gateway are as follows:

Active state: 

  • The Van or Telematics Gateway (TU600) scans continuously.
  • Sends data every two minutes if the engine runs and the van moves over 8 km/h (only for van gateways).
  • Requirement: Stable power supply above 12.1V (only for van gateways). 

Inactive state: 

  • The Van or Telematics Gateway (TU600) scans continuously (it scans with a duty cycle of 50%).
  • Sends data every 10 minutes if the engine or the van is not moving (only for van gateways).
  • The gateway uses power from the van or heavy equipment’s battery, but under normal use, it doesn’t drain the battery. However, if the van or equipment isn’t used for a long time, like two months or more, the battery may run out, just like it would without a gateway.
  • Requirement: Stable power supply above 12.1V (only for van gateways).
     

Sleep state: 

  • When the van or heavy equipment’s battery gets low, the gateway still uses a small amount of power from it. It doesn’t fully switch to its internal battery at that point.
  • The gateway updates geolocation every hour and scans Sensor tags / BLE data.
  • Trigger: Van battery voltage drops below 12.1V (For HEM it is 4.5V).
     

Deep sleep state:  

  • The Van or Telematics Gateway stops sending data when its internal battery drops to 3500 mv.
  • It only sends data if the battery level is above this threshold.
