8.2.2.6 Operation Mode
Unattended Operation
This option is used for remote operations where system is left unattended as the name indicates,
mainly for unmanned sites. This feature must not be used when the iNetVu system is being moved
around or in transport mode. In this case, the system should be powered off completely. Otherwise, there
is a risk the antenna will attempt to deploy while vehicle is moving. Please ensure this feature is disabled
when vehicle is in transit from one location to another.
The user may disable, or set the unattended re-deploy delay time to 5, 10, or 15 minutes. If the
system detects motion it will wait 1min, if antenna is still on signal the system will re-acquire satellite,
otherwise the antenna will stow due to motion or movement, the system will automatically re-acquire
satellite depending on the selected delay time after stow. Initial stow will only wait 30 seconds no matter
what the selected delay time is set to before re-acquiring satellite. If the re-acquire fails, the system will
stow and wait for the next time period to try and re-acquire satellite signal.
For example, if the user selects 5 minutes from the drop down menu, and the system stows due
to motion or movement while operational, on first stow it will only wait 30 seconds before re-acquiring
satellite. On the second stow, system waits Five (5) minutes + 30 seconds before automatically re-
acquiring the satellite signal. The routine uses the following formula: Waiting Time for re-acquire == 30S+
(retry times*selected delay time) default retry time at first stow is 0, second stow is 1, etc... until one (1)
hour (3600 seconds) reached. If after (1) hour system does not find satellite it will continue to try on every
hour thereafter. The retry time will be reset 0 after each time the system locks on satellite.
DIS: Disabled
1: Re-acquire Satellite in 5 minutes
2: Re- acquire Satellite in 10 minutes
3: Re- acquire Satellite in 15 minutes
DANGER: The system may try to deploy if this option is selected and vehicle becomes in
motion. Unattended option must be disabled when vehicle is moving between locations
and system is NOT powered off.
Motion Protection
The iNetVu ® Mobile Platform will automatically stow the antenna should it experience extreme motion,
such as severe shaking caused by harsh weather conditions. Box selected implies Motion Protection is
enabled. If the shaking/shift is in small increments the system will not stow assuming signal is not lost. If
the small motion/movement count (12 small movements in 30 seconds) logged in a specific time window
exceeds the set threshold the system will re-peak if signal exists or stow if signal is lost. This feature
stows the antenna but does not attempt to re-acquire signal. This feature does not work properly if
combined with the inclined operation.
Movement Protection (not a selectable option)
The movement protection option is always enabled and is embedded into the controller. Antenna will stow
automatically when vehicle begins to drive off. The movement protection feature will not function properly
if the GPS is overridden because movement protection relies on change of GPS speed (min 5 km/h) and
