Towing Detection - Teltonika FMB001 User Manual

5.9.2 Towing detection

FMB001 activates towing function when these conditions are met:
• Ignition (configured Ignition Source) is OFF
• Activation Timeout (set in Towing detection features) is reached
When Activation Timeout is reached and Ignition is still in OFF state, FMB001 monitors
accelerometer data. If Acceleration or Angle value reaches configured threshold for configured
Duration (in ms), check Ignition state. If Ignition is still OFF during configured "Ignition check after
Event Timeout" time, then event is generated. If configured - sends sms event or makes a call.
Function will be reactivated after FMB001 again detects change of Ignition state from ON to OFF.
Activation timeout – Activation timeout is time after which FMB001 turns ON Towing
detection function if other requirement is met (Ignition OFF state detected). It is measured in
minutes.
Event Timeout – defines time period (in seconds) to check ignition state when Acceleration
or Angle value reach. If towing event is generated during this time period, it is skipped. It allows
to filter out redundant towing events while entering the car.
Acceleration, Angle – values used to detect towing when ignition is OFF
Duration – defines time period to check Acceleration, Angle values.
Make Call to – on event makes call to specified phone number.
Send SMS to – on event sends sms to specified phone number.
