YB TRACKING YB3i Mk1, Manual

Device Manual

To set burst mode, in the Report Frequency you need to choose Burst. Then, in the Burst SeZngs 

menu you can choose how ohen you wish to take a fix (Burst fix) and how ohen you wish to 

transmit (Burst transmit). 

Note: This mode will use power more quickly than other tracking modes, since GPS is kept on all of the 

Fme. 

Although airFme costs are reduced using burst mode, depending on your seZngs you may use more 

than 1 credit per transmission. 1 credit will pay for up to 3 posiFons inside a single fix. So, for 

example, if you are taking a posiFon every 5 minutes, and transmiZng every 15 minutes (so 3 fixes 

transmi`ed), this will cost 1 credit per transmission. If you take a posiFon every 5 minutes, and 

transmit every 30 minutes (so 6 fixes transmi`ed), this would cost 2 credits per transmission. 

Ac9vity Sense 

Turning acFvity sense ON will mean that the tracker will switch between the normal ‘report 

frequency’ when staFonary, and transmiZng using the ‘burst seZngs’ when moving. 

NOTE - THIS CAN COST SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF CREDITS, ONLY TURN THIS ON IF YOU 

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! 

AcFvity sense can be parFcularly useful if you want to transmit whilst you are moving, and then 

transmit at a much slower rate when you are not moving. For instance, tracking vehicles or aircrah. 

There are sensiFvity levels inside the AcFvity Sense menu which are useful to tweak when the 

device thinks it is ‘moving’ - this will depend on your exact situaFon, but we have found that seZng 

both opFons to ’24’ is a good start, and works for most situaFons. 

Alert OpFons 

Timer Alert 

This opFon allows you to set an alert message to be sent aher a pre-defined interval. This is useful if 

you would like to send an alert in the eventuality that you are not able to cancel the alert within a 

pre-defined Fme. Timers can be chosen between 5-minutes to 12-hours. 

Temperature Alert 

Should the temperature leave your defined range (e.g. 0 degrees to 40 degrees) then an automaFc 

alert will be sent. This opFon allows you to turn this alert type on/off and set the temperature over 

which the alert will be sent. 

Power Loss Alert 

If this opFon is turned on, should the unit lose external power then an automaFc alert will be sent. 

Geo-fence Alert 

This alert type allows you to set your current posiFon, then set a distance. Should the device leave 

the pre-defined circular area, an automaFc alert will be sent. 

Collision Alert
