5 CelloTrack Operational States
The unit operates in one of the following three operational states:
Error! Reference source not found. (for storage and battery conservation)
Error! Reference source not found.
Error! Reference source not found. (fully operational)
Each operational state is comprised of a number of operational modes.
There is an additional BOD/EOD Tracking Mode that the CelloTrack 10y can be
programmed to support.
5.1 Not Activated State
The Not Activated operational state enables storage of a fully assembled unit
(including battery connection and SIM card insertion) but prevents unnecessary
battery drainage and self-discharging. This state is designed for maximum battery
conservation and can prove especially useful, for example, when transporting multiple
pre-installed units to an installation plant.
When the CelloTrack unit is in the Not Activated state, it remains in sleep mode most
of the time. Once per second, however, it exits sleep mode, checks for an activation
attempt by checking whether the front button and/or temper switch is depressed, and
returns to sleep (assuming the main button is not depressed).
In this state, the unit does not respond to input triggers, nor does it perform or react
to Error! Reference source not found., and the unit’s GNSS and GSM modules
emain unpowered.
Entering this state: Upon Deactivation Procedure
Leaving this state: Upon Activation Procedure
5.2 Hibernation State
When the CelloTrack unit is in the Hibernation state, it remains in sleep mode most of
the time and awakens once per second to check for inputs, button state changes, and
motion. Typically, the Hibernation state is used for asset or cargo tracking, when
maximum battery life is the primary consideration and infrequent updates are
sufficient.
In addition to checking inputs, button state changes, and motion once per second, the
CelloTrack unit awakens periodically, powers up all its modules, communicates with
the server, and transmits a unit location update. This is known as glancing (see the
following section).
The Hibernation state employs a number of modes and functionalities, as shown in the
following table.
For battery conservation.
Occurs periodically or at a specific time of day; refer
to the following Error! Reference source not
ound. section.
