    GNSS module from having to be switched on to provide an updated position. This device will not provide position while moving, if this is required please contact Omni-ID to discuss this requirement. Sense Locate Position is designed for tracking and monitoring applications over LoRaWAN with following built in sensors: •...
  • Page 5: Dbr (Default Beacon Rate)

    All beacons regardless of DBR, ABR or MAB contain the following payload data: • GNSS Coordinates in the form of Longitude and Latitude, current updated location or previous location depending on event triggering the beacon. • GNSS Lock, indicating if position lock is achieved within configurable thresholds (DOP, Min and Max lock times), if last known location is being sent the lock flag is not set.
  • Page 6: Mab (Motion Alarm Beacon)

    The device carries on sensing the temperature at the ABR and will transmit an ABR beacon when the temperature returns to within the acceptable threshold. This beacon resets the Temperature Alarm Flag. The alarm beacon rate can be set as a value of 0-254 minutes Setting the value to zero disables the ABR.

  • Page 10 An App key needs to be preconfigured in the Network Server and is used to validate that the device has permission to communicate with the network. These values are user configurable and devices can be supplied pre- configured with alternative values as part of Service Bureau customisation service.
  • Page 11 If more than one Gateway is in communication range with the device, the network server sends join acceptance message via the gateway which is closest to end device based on received RSSI vale of a gateway. Once accepted the tag will stay joined for a period of up to 6months before reinitiating a Join Request, so long as network service is not interrupted.
