What happens if the van battery is low?

  • Updated

When the van battery drops below certain voltage thresholds, the TU 700 (and TU 600) gateways progressively reduces its activity to protect the vehicle battery from being drained

Van battery drops to 12.1V or below: 

  • The gateway enters sleep mode 

  • BLE scanning stops entirely 

  • Geolocation updates slow to once per hour 

  • No utilization data 

  • Gateway may appear offline 

  • Planned maintenance alerts paused 

Deep Sleep (< 3.5V Internal Battery):

  • All communication stops 

  • The gateway is effectively powered off

  • It will only recover when the van battery is recharged (e.g., engine started)
