Modes
Sparta Modes Logic
Maintenance Mode
The initial setting of the Sparta Lithium-ion battery. This mode is designed for configuration once the Sparta Lithium-ion battery is installed in the battery. Also, this mode occurs when the Sparta Lithium-ion battery has been disconnected from the server for an hour and a half.The power consumption in this mode is ~1.05W.
The modem and GPS are on in this mode.
In-Cabinet Mode
Defined as the transmission mode - wakes up periodically, usually in long intervals to read and transmit data.The power consumption in this mode is ~0.77W.
The modem and GPS are off in this mode.
GPS activity will be enabled at low capacity when you select "Low Power" at the Power Center solution. The power consumption in this mode is ~0.85W.
The "Wake up" mode is a sub-mode of the "In-Cabinet” mode. It is a periodic state that establishes communication with the host for updates and reports.
Tracking Mode
Instigates in case the Sparta Lithium-ion battery detects vibration or movement. In this mode, the Sparta Lithium-ion battery is awake and transmits location and data information in real-time in a short cycle.The power consumption in this mode is ~1.05W.
The modem and GPS are on in this mode.
Cut Off Mode
This is the status of the server, not the Sparta Lithium-ion battery itself. The Sparta Lithium-ion battery will go into "Cut Off" mode if it has not been connected to the server for more than two days.
Maintenance State Timeout
When Sparta Lithium-ion battery gateway is in one of the following modes: "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.
Sparta Lithium-ion battery Status Logic
The Sparta Lithium-ion battery modes and the status in ZonMax are linked to facilitate the process of creating an alert.
Mode | ZonMax Status |
|---|---|
Maintenance | Idle |
In Cabinet | Off Disconnected - No log will be created in the system |
Tracking | On, Stop, Moving Like all other systems, depends on the speed |
Users can generate events in the system and link the mode to the status.
Backup Battery Operation
Backup battery - Sparta Lithium-ion battery 2750mAh battery
Test Conditions - The backup battery was tested under optimal conditions under controlled temperature and other environmental conditions. Any deviation from these conditions, for example, the use of the unit in the field, may affect the results.
Sparta Lithium-ion battery Mode | Backup battery life hours until it runs out |
|---|---|
“Tracking” mode | 30h |
“In Cabinet” mode | 62h |
Network Statuses

Sparta Lithium-ion battery gateway has several network statuses.
There are a number of indicators to take into consideration.
GSM - Global System for Mobile Communications connection to the Cellular network a digital, circuit-switched network - allows Voice & SMS services.
GPRS - General Packet Radio Service connection to the Cellular network - Allows uplink & downlink data service
PDP - Packet Data Protocol, data structure on both the GPRS support node (SGSN) & the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) which contains the subscriber's session information when the subscriber has an active session.
The data recorded includes:
Subscriber's IP address
Subscriber's IMSI
Subscriber's Tunnel Endpoint ID (TEID) at the GGSN
Subscriber's Tunnel Endpoint ID (TEID) at the SGSN
Socket - Socket connection to the server is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between the device and its server running on the network. The socket connection utilizes TCP over IP for communication.
