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.
