Sparta Modes

  • Maintenance Mode

The initial setting of the unit. This status mode is designed for configuration. Once the unit is installed in the battery, the administrator should manually move the unit to In-Storage mode.

  • Storage Mode

The unit is asleep and does not transmit data until it moves to In-Cabinet mode. This setting is relevant during the period that the unit is in storage and not connected.

Once an hour (default setting) the unit awakens and samples the voltage and save the information.

Once a day, the unit wakes up for 10 minutes and transmits the data it samples to the server.

Once the voltage exceeds 13.2V (default setting), the unit detects that there is a different power source. This will automatically move the unit to In-Cabinet mode.

  • In Cabinet Mode

The standard operating mode. The unit collects data (temperature & voltage) based on a 5-minute interval (default setting).

Every 24 hours (default setting), the unit will transmit all the gathered data to the server for 10 minutes.

Once the unit detects vibration or movement, it will move to In-Tracking mode.

  • Cut Off Mode

These units are In-Cabinet mode but have had no connection to the server for over 2 days.

  • Tracking/Movement Mode

The unit will begin transmitting its location every minute (default setting) to allow for tracking and tracing. Once the unit remains 10 minutes (default setting) with no movement, it returns to In-Cabinet Mode.

Maintenance State Timeout

When Sparta gateway is in one of the following modes: "Storage", "In Cabinet", or "Tracking”, and for some reason, switches to "Maintenance" mode, it will automatically return to the previous mode after one hour, with the exception of the following:

-Every communication with the host (serial of remote) will reset the 1-hour timer

 -If the device is manually set back to maintenance mode (using the power center button), the device will
remain in maintenance forever.

Status is set by the unit itself.
