Introduction
The Asset Gateway Mini operates in two modes: cable-powered and battery-powered. Each mode provides different functionalities and data collection capabilities.
Battery-Powered Asset Gateway Mini
-
Runs on its internal battery without an external power source.
-
Provides location check-ins at set intervals (e.g., every 8, 12, 24, or 48 hours).
-
Does not provide engine hours or idling data, as it lacks a direct connection to vehicle power.
-
Battery life lasts 5+ years with 2 check-ins per day (subject to usage and environmental factors).
Cable-Powered Asset Gateway Mini
-
Connected to a constant power source via the Asset Gateway Mini cable.
-
Provides real-time telematics with check-ins once per minute.
-
Internal battery remains unused unless external power is cut.
-
When wired to an ignition power source:
-
Ignition ON: Checks in once per minute.
-
Ignition OFF: Reverts to battery mode, checking in at set intervals.
-
-
Tracks engine hours and idling time when wired to an ignition signal.
