USB and charging Usage: Micro-B female USB connector, through which the unit can perform the following functions: – Charging the internal battery from the supplied AC-adaptor or PC USB port. – USB port serial communication for PL update – USB port serial communication for FW upgrade Charging: The CelloTrack battery operates on a Li-Ion battery of 1000mAh nominal capacity.
Page 25
USB and charging Charging modes: The unit has 2 modes of charging: – FW controlled – the nano FW decide when to start and stop charging. It charges the battery to a certain hardcoded high-level charge point (e.g. 90%) and then let the battery be consumed to the level of an hardcoded low-level charge point (e.g.
Page 26
MultiSense Overview: – The MultiSense is a remote peripheral sensor communicating and configured by the CelloTrack-nano via a short-range RF link. – There are 2 models of MultiSense: regular ones that can measure temperature called just "MultiSense" and "MultiSense-TH" which have combined temperature + humidity sensor. –...
Page 27
MultiSense More information: – The MultiSense is a configurable sleepy peripheral slave, which means it is configurable by the tools (via the nano) and it transmits according to the preconfigured policy. – The nano, if enabled in parameter “Nano is master of several slave sensors enable”...
Page 28
MultiSense Transmission policy: – All the MultiSense units related to a nano system has the same configuration of the following timers: Relaxed (R) – parameter in PL: “Active sensors sampling relaxed timer“. Used when the temperature and humidity are within their (configurable) limits. Violation(V) - parameter in PL: “Active sensors sampling violating timer“.
Page 29
MultiSense Precautions and warnings: – The MultiSense should NOT be paired with more than 1 nano (in the same area), otherwise it will drop its chances for successful communication greatly. – The “Guest mode” in the nano which is enabled by the “Process ID tags not in the list”...

MultiSense Marking: – The magnet icon symbolizes the location of the magnet sensor. The permanent magnet should be installed against it with distance of body-to-body of 1-3cm, while the small triangle on the magnet points to the icon in the MultiSense. –...
Page 31
MultiSense Button and blue LED: – When battery is inserted, the unit always goes to active mode and the blue LED lights for 3 seconds. – When active, every short press (up to 1 second long) triggers sampling + transmission and the blue LED blinks 5 times. –...

Type-11 message structures – The “General Event Message is a Type 11 message designed to reflect system events and notifications towards the server. The message is built as follows: – Modules 8, 6, 7 and 42 are mandatory fields, and always come first in this exact order, everything else (module 28 is just an example here) shall come after that.
