Page 13 of 15 Thermo King Corporation Proprietary Information GPRS LED Definition : LED blinks green twice a second when on the network.
Page 14 of 15 Thermo King Corporation Proprietary Information LED blinks green once a second when off the network. Armed (No Change), Countdown and full SCOM modes (New modes): LED blinks green every three seconds when on the network. LED blinks amber every three seconds when off the network. Conservative and Full Null (replaces sleep): LED blinks red every five seconds until the ARM is switched, after this LEDs cannot be switched. Limited SCOM (New mode, effectively a short wakeup from Conservative mode): LED blinks green every five seconds when on the network. I-BOX LED Definition Good Connection (i-Box LED Not Blinking, Steady On) Bad Controller Connection (i-Box LED 2 Blinks, 3 Seconds Off) Bad Modem Connection (i-Box LED 3 Blinks, 3 Seconds Off) Bad Connection On Both Controller and Modem (i-Box LED 4 Blinks, 3 Seconds Off) Wi-Fi LED Definition Not associated to AP: LED is dark Associated to AP: LED is lit Network traffic: LED flashes in time with traffic 5. Understanding REB Power Management 5.1 Power Status: Wi-Fi LED i-BOX LED GPRS LED
Page 15 of 15 Thermo King Corporation Proprietary Information 5.1.1 Full-On: Conditions: Reefer is running, 8xp is high Behavior: The REB reporting to website every hour for U.S. and 15 minutes for ESA, the power status in the website is “ON” 5.1.2 Countdown and Conservative Pre-Conditions: HMI is turned-off, Controller OFF, 8xP is low Behavior: a. Very similar to full-on. It will periodically reports to the website dependent on the logging interval set when unit is OFF and website will display as unit OFF. The REB will save power as much it can since it takes power directly from the unit battery including the door and fuel sensors if connected to the REB. Thus, it is essential for REB to monitor the voltage level of the unit battery to ensure engine start up when needed by the customer. When this voltage level ( default is 12 V but configurable by TDAC)is achieved, the REB will wait for 5 minutes, send alarm 253 and then switch to back-up battery as power source. This state of the REB is known as “Conservative”. b. Conservative can also be attained if countdown log counter is achieved. The default countdown log interval is 24. This value is configurable by TDAC. When countdown log timer expires the REB will switch back-up battery as power source and send alarm 253 –telling customer that the REB is in back-up battery mode and alarm notifications (doors and fuel) will be suspended. This states is also known as “ Conservative” c. If unit power is interrupted (i.e. unit battery being cut-off) it will switched to back-up mode, REB in Conservative mode. d. The website will display OFF in Conservative mode. e. When REB is in Conservative state it will report to the website every hour with location only. f. The REB can be woken up before its logging/reporting interval if it has cellular radio but not possible if REB has Wi-Fi only. g. If the REB has WIFI radio only and in Conservative state, it will wait for the next logging interval before it checks and execute requests made from the website. 5.1.3 Full-Null Pre-Conditions: Back-up battery below is below 5.21V Behavior: a. When back-up battery is less than 5.21V the REB will quit working but will send alarm 233 prior to switching to full-null. b. The REB will transition to another state when unit is turned On. c. The Full-null can also be attained if the conservative log counter expires. The log counter is 96 as a default but configurable via TDAC.
