The polling interval can be set between 1 hour and 48 hours. It is advisable to not set shorter 
polling interval than the default 24 hours in a live installation. 

 

Heartbeat interval 

The indicator sends a heartbeat message to the recipient(s) in a configurable interval. The 
range is 1 hour to 720hours. Default setting is 144 hours. 
The heartbeat message contains the current status of the device as well as the GSM signal 
level.  

When the receiver system is NetTroll, NetTroll will set up an alarm in the central unit if two 
consecutive heartbeat messages are missing from the same unit. (Missing Heartbeat Alarm). 

 

Other GSM features 

The LineTroll R400D has several configuration settings for how the GSM modem should 
operate. 

 

 

Setting alarm/heartbeat up-time 

Defines the period the GSM modem is connected to the GSM network after having 

sent an alarm or a heartbeat message. 
 

 

Setting polling up-time 

Defines the period the GSM modem is connected to the GSM network after having 
done the regular polling sequence and checked the GSM network for messages 
addressed to the device. 

 

Boot message 

The boot message is sent when the indicator is powered up or it the internal 

watchdog function have reset the software. If this message is enabled, it will also be 
sent when the device is reset when the lens is twisted to RESET position. 

Sending boot message can be switched OFF. 
 

Loss of Voltage message 

When this message is activated, the unit will 

send a “Loss of Voltage” message to the 

recipients. This feature is default switched off. 

Please note the electrical field the indicator see may vary upon several factors such as 
rain, snow and external influencing sources so it is recommended to keep this feature 

off to avoid unnecessary messages. 
 
When the indicator detects a fault, and the circuit breaker has tripped, the Loss of 

Voltage bit will be sent anyway to indicate the status of the feeder even if the Loss of 
voltage message is switched off. 

When the feeder is restored and the line energized again, the Loss of Voltage bit will 
also be reset if the line is energized.
