  • Page 16 Main mode In the “Main mode”, iON FM terminal performs all of its function in real time; all of its electronic periph- erals are enabled to provide complete functionality. In this mode, the device determines GPS and LBS coordi- nates, reads multipurpose inputs and RS-485 bus, and transmits these readings to web-monitoring server via GPRS channel.
  • Page 17 GSM module — determining LBS coordinates and transmission of all accumulated data to monitoring server. iON FM terminal switches to “Power-saving mode” only if this mode is allowed by PW#EN1 command (al- lowed by default), and the following conditions are consecutively met: The terminal is at rest and motion sensor does not detect movement;...
  • Page 18 If iON FM terminal has switched to “Mode 1” from “Main mode”, then power source is irrelevant — be it built-in battery or external source - since the terminal will follow the same order of switching from one power- saving mode to another to preserve energy.
