•
“Always on” – device collects records only according to “Time with engine”(i.e. Time without
engine=120s, Time with engine=60s, then it will always collect data with 60s time-out)
•
“Ignition (DIN4)” – device considers that it is moving when ignition is turned on ( on digital input
4 (DIN4) voltage level is high)(i.e. Time without engine=120s, Time with engine=60s, then if
ignition is on time-out will be 60s, if ignition is off time-out will be 120s)
•
“MovSensor” – device will take built-in movement sensor data to state if it is moving (i.e. Time
without engine=120s, Time with engine=60s, then if motion sensor detects vibration time-out will
be 60s, if no vibrations detected time-out will be 120s).
“Engine” selection also defines how device wakes up from sleep mode. If “Ignition
(DIN4)” mode is selected, then device will wake up from high level on DIN4. Else (“Always on” or
“MovSensor”) movement will be detected from built-in movement sensor.
Coefficients section defines how often device collects records based on GPS readings.
“Distance” parameter defines what distance vehicle has to go to make a record. “Time” how much
time must pass to make a record. “Radial” how much vehicle has to turn to make a record. All
coefficients are counted from last one generated record (i.e. Distance=1000m, Time=60s,
Radial=60deg and device was moving for 60s, gone 650m and turned 30 degrees, so record will be
made based on Time, and counters will be reset, so device must go for another 1000m, or 60s, or
60deg to make another record).
FM-Xxx3 device has profiled structure, so according to circumstances device can
differently send, collect and store data. Profile switching is done in two ways: by GSM operator or
by IO event. It is recommended to use single type of switching to avoid confusion. Although
advanced users can combine dual switching. At first, when device starts and has no operator, it
jumps to first profile. As soon as registered to a GSM network, device checks up operator lists
(from 1
st
profile to 4
th
) and if it finds GSM operator code
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
) in that list, it jumps to corresponding profile.
If no matching profile list found, device jumps to first profile with empty operator list, so it is
recommended to leave 4
th
profile with empty operator list. If the same operator code is entered in
two profiles lists, then after the GSM network operator change, it will jump to first one of them –
lets say operator X is listed in 2
nd
profile operator list and 3
rd
profile operator list and device works
in 1
st
profile, when GSM operator will change to X, device will jump to 2
nd
profile. If using IO
event switching, just set “Switch to” to desired profile (Fig. 2.3.6).
Operator list
is placed in the middle right on the main view and is accessible by clicking
options (Fig. 2.3.4). In the new opened window you can set up to 50 preferred mobile network
operators for each profile. Operators are added as numbers (up to six digits). If you want to add
Afghanistan AWCC operator, you should enter
41201
(Fig.2.3.5) and then click “Add”. If you want
to remove operator, select operator (by clicking it on the list) and then click on “Remove” button.
Also you can clear all operators from the list by clicking “Clear All”.
